hey u know Maryln Monroe was a size 14!
in the fifties it was *in* to be zaftig and then the 60s came along with Twiggy and ruined everything...
I was really curvy once (not a size 14..I'd be considered huge then with my frame) but it just looked weird with my height..like I was shrunken or something.
she doesnt look like a size 14 though
ya she does... she was super curvy! Little in the middle but she got much back...
also size 14 isn't as huge as some people may think. And it differs in pants and shirts.. a size 12 shirt may look like i'm wearing a sailboat. I comfortably can wear a size 11-12 jeans without looking like they're huge on me. heh. And then I can also fit into sizes 7-9 just fine... i duno, I don't care what the size on the pants says... of coruse it was nicer when it said.. 4.. 6.. haha i'll get back to that someday! haha new system..
I'm with you on that. Size really doesn't matter. It all depends on what fits. Some sizes do vary depends on the designer. But it does sadden me how woman are viewed in this world. I'm thankful curvy is in, that shows a little change in the structure.
hahaha. go to old navy, i love their pants-according to them i'm a 4/6. not that it matters much, but like you said, it's just nicer.
that's true. i used to be a size 14 but i don't ever think i looked as fat as youmight think. i have a larger bone structure and i'm pretty tall. 5'7" but closing in on 5'8" so my hip bones always jutted out that i needed bigger pants. that is why there's belts. but when i lost all my weight and was a size 5, mom said that was enough cuz i was shrunken and looked frightening.
i used to be a size 18...not something im proud of...
The key words are "used to be"
yes but "used to" can turn into..."i am"
Yeah, well, I don't think you even want to know what size I used to be.
is it bad? I used to be big too, but I'm tall so you really couldn't tell as much, but now that I'm on the lighter side, i feel the difference and more energetic! Like i said the key words are "used to be" so it looks like we've taken the turn for better health!
Yeah. It was really bad and it wasn't even that long ago. And I still have a fair amount of weight to lose. I'm not sure if I should post this, but if you really want to know just how bad it was, then here is a picture of me from my cousin's wedding on Feb. 15 of last year. (I'm the guy in the blue shirt standing on the right of the picture. Here is a picture of me today.
WOW, good for you!!! I'm STOKED for you! I bet you feel SO much better about yourself huh? Is it all through diet and exercise? Keep up the good work hun!
wow... brother that is really impressive. that's a real accomplishment.
that's a lot of hard work dude. definitely. very impressive.
it feels good doesnt it? =)
ya lucy was like a size 12 also, and it shocked me cause i thought she at the most was like a 4 or 6,, I must have a real bad eye for sizes, i think i only know HUGE and xsmall other than that i would loose if i had to stand at a booth and guess peoples clothing size, cause seriuosly, even though she was curvey it seemed like it wasnt much and it seemed like she was inshape. and they had such tiny wastes! I duno woman back then even if they were bigger sizes, i dont think they were fat. or maybe i just have bad eye perception, ha ha
i was thinking the same thing cuz she looked pretty and it was news to me that she was plus sized.
There is a vintage clothing store around here that I go to a lot. Sizes were different then. The lady who owns it won't let me try on clothes until she has measured me (and I won't let her). But she told me that a size today was actually smaller back then. If I want to try on a 10, its gonna be way smaller. It has something to do with your personal measurements. She is the only onld lady I've ever met that prolly still smokes pot-I stop listening to her babble after a while.
you are right-sizes HAVE changed. I was talking with an ex-Mandees manager not too long ago and she said *yesterdays* 7/8s are now 5/6s. etc. Cant beleive i was a 2 once.
so marylyn might have really been a 10/12.
but it really dont matter as long as u feel happy in your own skin.
yeah. I remember this girl that seriously freaked out in a bridal shop, when her bridesmaid dress was a size 2 instead of 0. FREAKED OUT. I felt so bad for her.. that's messed up!
haha...I have a bridesmaid dress that's a size 800, its hard feeling pretty when that number is burning a freakin hole in your back.
800? isnt that like a euorpean size?
actually it was a gross exaggeration
from an existentialist perspective maybe
I FOUND IT!
