Also, thanks me belle- these seem great! I want to be all tucked in, and also have some breathing ability!

My most recent underwear purchased, Fit for Me from Fruit of the Loom.

This version has a big enough leg hole. The Fit for Mes with the striped waistband cut into my inner thigh.

I wish I could eat the same thing for lunch every day. I hear about people who do that and it just sounds so, idk, restful. I'm pretty into variety, though.

I have had surprisingly good luck with suits from consignment shops that a previous owner had altered to fit something like my body. A total crapshoot, but I've gotten a couple that way that I was happy with.

Crazy thing- my tailor shop which had one of the last elderly Italian tailors in town (which is right across the street from me and has the same landlord) had a horrible fire last night! I don't even know anyone I trust with alterations anymore!

I'm very glad I'm in tech, where so long as you're clean, covered, and not wearing an obscene/provocative t-shirt, you're pretty much good to go.

I think the thing that draws me to costumes also makes me care! I don't really care, but for my inner me, I want to be able to show the role I am playing in the real world through my clothes. And I love clothes. It makes me feel safe if I am sending my sense of self through my clothes.

I had an interesting day at work today. A man called in asking for help, he is a single dad and his 12 yr old daughter needs a bra and he wanted to know if we could help her.

She came in and she was so sweet. I measured her and her dad had talked to someone else before he got transferred to me so a few other of the sales associates offered to help if she needed some clothes as well. Unfortunately she needed a size 40 A. Which we don't carry. I think I could have done a bit better like asking her about herself but she was sweet. She told me "I don't have a mom" and I said I was sorry but she seemed like she had a great dad. And her face lit up and she said "he is awesome" . I had her try on a bunch of bras to try and find if any would fit and nothing did. I told her that I really wanted to find her a bra but I wasnt going to sell her something that was uncomfortable and didn't fit but I thought maybe Lane Bryant might have something. 9 Her dad waited in the car so she wouldn't be embarrassed. I asked if she was ok if I went out and talked to him about what I told her. She said it was ok and as we were walking out she asked me if I liked her socks...she was wearing toe socks with Tevas. I told her they were awesome. Her dad was really nice. He was this big country guy in overalls and he was worried because she hadn't bought anything. She and I explained what happened. I told him my recommendation . I was worried he would balk at going to Asheville (it's an hour away) but he told her they couldn't tonight but tomorrow they would. He even wrote down what I told him . It was cold and drizzling and he got worried about me being out in the cold I told him I wanted to make sure he knew I had tried and that we would love to help her if she ever needed to do some clothes shopping. He shook my hand and I ran back inside.

We really all wanted to help and be fairy godmothers to her. I hope she comes in again so we can. Her dad was really worried about her being embarrassed and it being awkward and it was nice to see a dad like that.

That is some excellent customer service, askye.

Aw, what a great thing to do for that family!
