Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

My current suit is Lane Bryant. [link] The one before that was Roaman's. [link] Torrid had SUCH a cute suit that I would have bought if I hadn't bought the one from LB the month before. If you're looking for less skimpy or more sturdy, Junonia has athletic-type suits [link]

Edit: Looks like Torrid's pretty well out of stock, but LB and Roamans are both doing swimwear sales.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Can anyone recommend a good place for a plus-size woman to buy a non-embarrassing bathing suit? I haven't owned a bathing suit in 15 years. '

I got mine from Land's End. It's the suit I'm wearing in this picture, if you want an idea of coverage: [link]

This is the suit at Land's End: [link]

What Epic said! I'd also add Onestopplus.com, which is my go-to for all of my online clothes. This is my current suit, which does suck in the stomach a bit more than I'm used to.

Also, Just My Size has some great suits.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I love Land's End, too.

Thrive to spite them

I got a 2 piece thing at Target. A swim skirt and a tank top deal. They didn't have swim shorts when I was there. I just wanted something for around the beach and not for swimming.

Speaking of plus size. Anyone have recommendations for reasonably priced wide calf boots. Wide calf, but not wide width.

askye, I haven't bought anything from them, but Wide Widths seems to specialize in wide calf boots, and they carry from medium width to double-wide width in the feet.

Oh yeah, OneStopPlus draws from everybody at once, they're good.

Askye, I'm pretty sure I got my wide-calf boots from Roamans as well.

Ginger, maybe I'm the only one who loses important documents right inside the wallet. But in case I'm not:

Sometimes if I can't find something while out, I take out my wallet when I get home. I take everything out, completely emptying my wallet, and put everything back and lo, 90% of the time find the "lost" item. If you have not tried this, it might be worth a shot.

Thanks I'll check those out.

I keep seeing cute boots and for the first time I actually want to own some but I have fat calves.
