Weekend: I need to get more meds. . . clean house (alot). I'm hoping to get some knitting done.
And ion, is WX donefor? Earlier this week there was talk that it was a goner and I haven't been able to find the site - - is it gone for good?
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

The campaign is saying that she's not going to be giving interviews, or pretty much saying anything that isn't a totally canned speech. IOW, they're realizing just how much of a detriment she's going to be when she opens her mouth of her own accord. That's sure the way to pick a VP, isn't it?

“Not dead yet!”
Every single woman on What Not To Wear talks about how X, Y, and Z makes it uniquely difficult for her to find clothes that fit. I think everyone always has to try on a million things.
::raises hand:: Or at least, find a good tailor, as flea said. I'm so completely hourglass that anything that fits my hips/thighs, leaves about a four-five inch gap at the waist. Or if it fits my shoulders and is long-sleeved, the sleeves hang past my fingertips. Add to that I'm short and skirts and sweats are my best friends.
I thanked the heavens the day I found Lucky Denim mid-rise jeans. The only jeans I can comfortably wear.

It'll continue to play well for the base, but I think it's going to turn into both a one-note act, and an off-putting one at that.
Also there's this:

Also, from my own experience, the people who REALLY can't find anything to wear are like size 14-16 -- bigger than many "regular" stores carry, but still smaller than plus. At least, that was my experience shopping when I was busting out of my size 14 wardrobe. I couldn't shop anywhere!
I was actually happy when I became a size 18 because I could find clothes! Any clothes!

Lands End does custom shirts for women based on measurement. They are a little pricey, but not "sell a kidney" pricey.
Really? I couldn't find anything about this on their website, but if they do do something like this for, say, $50-60 a blouse, I'd totally buy it.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you do not fuck with librarians. Ever.

I could get on last night, but I can't today. But I am not hopeful.

So true. Plus, dude, that's not that big. BFF is, I think, a 14 and I wouldn't think of her as plus-size.

my friends are saying it's gotten the most traffic they've gotten for a post ever. The librarians are organizing and they are MAD!
