Miscellaneous Thoughts (a.k.a. The Ranting Corner)

An Oddly Shaped Body
Ugh. More shopping today. You may think that I spend money like Paris Hilton, but really, I shop more than I spend. I guess that warrants some explanation. The problem, you see, is that I?m not a very big person. I?m five foot nothing and weigh about 110 pounds. Needless to say, I wear petites. The problem is that in most petite sections there are clothes that are labeled ?petite? but that are really just ?fake petite?. I found a great suit today, but the skirt, whose hemline should have fallen at my knee, landed about mid-calf. I looked ridiculous.

Now, honestly, I have to have most pants altered. It?s just the way it is. No one makes pants that are the length I need them to be. But it?s only about six bucks for my guy to do the work. So if I?m spending thirty on a pair of pants, I?m not that upset about spending another six on alterations. What I refuse to do, though, is buy an eighty-dollar suit and have the whole thing altered because even though it says ?petite? it isn?t. F that noise. For eighty bucks, the suit should fit.

Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to all the designers out there. Dear Designers, I don?t know if you?re aware, but there are short people in this world. Yes! That?s right! Not everyone is tall and thin. Also, and this might come as a shock, these short people? Need to be clothed. Crazy, right? But, no, really. It?s true, I swear. So, the next time you?re designing something, maybe you could do all us short people a favor and make one for of us, too. That?d be swell. Love, The Petites of the World.

So, yeah, I went shopping today and bought almost nothing because nothing fit my oddly shaped body.

P.S. Thanks for all the comments on the hair-dryer problem. I decided to try walking away and letting the bathroom air out a little before going back in to do the drying. So far, so good.

OH, I know exactly what you mean! Well, actually I'm pretty tall, 5 feet 7 inches but I weigh barely 100 pounds and it is horrible trying to find clothes that fit. Most pants that are long enough are way too big or just really slutty and pants that fir perfectly on my waist are too short and don't fit correctly on other places either.
My friend has the exact same problem as you though, she is really short and small. It's horrible trying to find clothes for us.

I can't relate to that, but I do have an eternal quest of finding the perfect pair of jeans, so far Lucky Brands are my best bet! Yeah, but petite is hard to shop for, I know because my sister shops for petite.

I just want to say that I can not relate to the 'short' problem however I can relate to the 'pants not fitting' problem! I am 5 feet 7 inches tall, and let me tell you something, my but is bigger then the ones they make for a size 10. A size 10 is great for me, I am happy with a size 10 however, the designers have to make thigns propportional you know? The butt of a pair of pants is like a person's shoe size: You wouldn't give a person who was 5'7" tall a size 5 shoe, would you????
