   My sister is a tall 1X and a friend is a petite 1X, so I do a lot of shopping on the “plus-sized” sites. What is it about plus-sized women that makes designers want to clothe them in prints that look like sofa material? Or sweet little girl busy flower prints and ruffles? Women of all sizes like to look good, look professional, and look their age group. I mainly buy them solid basics with colorful scarves for flair. Not dressing them like furniture or four-year-olds!

   I just saw on Bored Panda (yes, I was bored and procrastinating) a piece where a size 16 blogger recreated outfits worn by stick-thin “celebrities” and “royalty”. She did a fabulous job recreating the outfits, and on most occasions, looked BETTER than the twigs we are supposed to admire and want to emulate (if we cared to do the supermodel diet of alcohol and cigarettes). She did not do it to make fun of the skinny women, but to show that women with curves can dress well and look as good if not better than the stick-thin women. The average American woman is 5’2" and size 18. It used to be size 12, then 14, then 16, but women, as well as men, have spread a lot in a short amount of time, what with the fast foods, fattening coffee drinks, and “convenience” foods. Grocery stores now carry more junk foods than fruit, veggies, and healthy meats. But some people are not meant to be twigs; skinny does not always mean healthy.

   And for women, hormones play a big part in weight.

   Never say something is “the worst”; life has a way of proving it can always get worse! ;)

   Love the new guy’s hair.

   AND straighten the subject’s curly hair. Because as Hollywood has taught us: Curly hair=Bad Straight hair=Princess.

   President Biden’s recent State of the Union was fabulous! Even the opposition had to admit it will go down in history as one of the best ever! But otherwise, we don’t hear a lot from him. You know why? Because he’s WORKING and doing the JOB he was HIRED FOR! Biden doesn’t have the time nor the inclination to whine and moan and rant and make up the conspiracy du jour, nor does he spend all his taxpayer-paid time on the golf course, overcharging us taxpayers for the “privilege” of watching him golf.

   It’s a comic strip and a particularly funny one at that. Comments like yours are why I try to not read the comments.

   Interesting trying to get that past the censorbot. It would not let me use colons or format in script form (like a play) for easier reading.

   We unfortunately lived in an HOA neighborhood for seven years. Meetings usually went like this:(HOA) We need to remove the river rock at the front entry because the children are throwing the rocks at cars while they’re waiting for the school bus.(ME) What? Tell your kids NO! That’s dangerous! That’s criminal! That’s wrong! They should know better! Someone could get hurt! We could get sued! Go to the bus stop and parent them until they learn to stop!(HOA and attending parents) What? Tell our precious children NO???

   Wish I was joking, but that was the norm. In this case, I was outvoted by the parents and we paid to have the river rock removed and replaced by bark dust, which (as I pointed out would happen), got washed down the slope the first time it rained, so we paid $1000 every year to get new bark dust. The rocks would have lasted forever.

    I sure hope so! My 87-year-old mother dresses more stylishly than Luann does, and my mother dresses appropriately for her age. Of course, I buy much of her wardrobe for her and I’m a pro, so that helps. ;) But I’d love to give Luann a makeover, myself. And Tiff, who still has the helmet hair of the 1970’s and thinks that since she’s gained a couple pounds, she has to hide her fabulous curves under baggy clothing that makes her look lumpy and frumpy. (Her dreary work uniform is just poor color choices; nobody but a few redheads look good in rust. But that’s not Tiff’s fault.)
