"I Hear the Soldiers Quit Their Dying, One and All..."

I just think you guys should know that my life is no longer my own.

(I really want this one. I think it would even be cute on me. I love this one too, but I'm a lot more dubious about my ability to wear it.)

On a related note, I feel you should all know about Clyne Management, which, besides having a lot of interesting faces and being a good place to go for possible PBs, has models who are actual real body sizes. Mostly the girls are size eights, but there are nines and tens as well. That is, like, actually human, flist.

...

omg!

Edit: this one wants to come live in my closet. I KNOW IT. Oh God there's only one left and it's a medium, it's my size...! :D :D :D Sigh, why are clothes so expensive when you don't get them second-hand?

Edit 2: I lied, I don't think it's my size. Their sizing chart is weird. And they don't sell anything big enough for me, I don't think--their large is 18 inches waist, which--that sounds really teeny. I shall go cry in a corner now.

Edit 3: OH GOSH BUT THIS FITS. OMG.

Guh! Dresses! Want!

Their sizing chart is ridiculous. By my best interpretation, the "normal" size would be approx. double the number they give. Hence their 18" waist would be what normal people would say is around a 36", give or take.

However, this is not exact. Example: I am a 31.5" bust (yes, I am flat like a teenage boy). However, when I measure a shirt that fits me snugly the way they measure their clothes, it measures as a 13.5", which doubled is 27". So, in conclusion, I have no idea what crack their measurements are on.

Oh, man, yes, that one's all purples and ruffles and eeee.

That is... so weird. I mean--backs push outward, so an only fronty measurement isn't accurate for all around anyway. I don't even know, Twitchy, that just hurts my head.

I know! I go all weak in the knees over purple and ruffles...

It is very dumb, and we should all write letters and tell them to measure things on the dress form, like normal people.
