Clothes for beautiful people only

Thanks, folks. :D I really don't know what happens to me in moments like that.

And to be very sincere, when I said that they were all very ugly... I was being entirely honest. :) Because they had brought beauty to the conversation and set that as a standard, I felt 100% entitled to give my opinion. They were affected, shallow and, really, physically ugly, sizes 2 or 4 aside. So it was actually very easy to say it out loud. I was angry, otherwise I'd have stayed to see the expression on their faces, but unfortunately I left the shop in a hurry.
 
At my best I wore a size 9 at 5'6" and 134lbs, because I'm out of proportion. What really bothers me, is with jeans/pants that as your waist size goes up, the legs get shorter. This means I'm wearing pants that are somewhere above my ankle and they aren't capris. Needless to say, for slacks, I buy mens where I can get a 35" inseam. I can't buy a fitted shirt because I'm a bit to busty for them, the buttons like to strain.

And at my current size, the fashion industry in the States expects that I like to wear polyester, elastic waist bands, cutesy embroidered flowers on my shirts, and generally disgusting baggy clothing.
 
Sounds like a store based only on vanity.

There is no point in having a store for good looking people. Good looking people in warm climates don’t need clothes. Average looking or worse need the clothes. The more the better.

:D
 
I would have taken an arm full of merchandise into the dressing room and forced myself into it until I split the seams.

This got me thinking:
I believe an old girlfriend of mine used to wear a size 0, but my memory is hazy. Does that size exist? Maybe it was 1, but I think it was 0 (yes, she was small and thin, but not ridiculously so...).

There are few things that annoy me more than the notion that a woman has to be thin to be beautiful. I have a couple of female friends who have truly marvelous bodies but who are constantly on a diet trying to remove a kg or few and having a stress about it. I've actually said to them that their bodies are very beautiful as they are, but they don't believe me.

Also. a woman may be too thin. Many of the models in advertisements are, to use an old Finnish expression, "food for tuberculosis". A woman's body should have curves in right places.
 
Luciana, I saw you at TAM and you are so thin and pretty.

Also, natural looking! You aren't pretty because of make up and a boob job.

Me, hey, I'm a big girl and seriously I pop out two kids and where did these breasts come from (I'm obviously peasant stock somewhere)...

I was wearing very loose clothing and trying to hide everything. Then I started lifting a few weights to tone up and said forget waiting for a size 8 to happen. I started to wear what I like, and I've been very happy (so is Pool Boy).

There is a hair salon in NY City that won't cut the hair of anyone over 40. The owner doesn't want his creations on "older ugly " women. Well, they showed his signature cut, it's super short and spikey and so UGLY!!! No one would want his haircut!

Thank you for saying this, Kitty. I have defended plastic surgery so much in the past, that I'm sure some people think I'm totally artificial myself. :) Or that I defend the existance of cyborgwomen. I don't even dye my hair! But I do think that plastic surgery can enhance the quality of someone's life. I see no contradiction here. :)

Yes, a size 0 exists. My question is, does it get any smaller than that...

Thank you. I wonder as well...perhaps they have to wear children's clothes?

If you look sloppy in skin tight Capris and a tank top.. don't wear them...
The way you say that makes me believe you have personal experience with that issue...
