11-12-14 "Who Are You Wearing?

On the Red Carpet,

celebrities are asked 

that snarky catch phrase:

 "Who Are You Wearing?"

My childhood self

would have mumbled shamefully

"Sears Husky". 

We fat children of the 1950's 

wore "Husky" sizes—really!

Now, most retail stores 

designate

 "Plus" sizes for girls

 and "Husky" sizes for boys.

Hmmm…...so good

we live in a more sensitive time.

  In the U.K., these sizes 

are marked "Outsize" for all.

For chubby adult women,

there are "Women" and "Plus" sizes;

for the fat men,

there is the "Big" designation.

But we really need a label for

"sad and fat"

or

"make my body invisible"

or

"pretending to be thin"

START WORKING ON THAT,

ALL YOU P.R. PEOPLE!

While we hid out under our 

"Women" "Plus' bodies

along with our "Big" comrades.

When I could shop for smaller sizes,

I wanted to shout out,

"Look everybody, look where I'm shopping!"

Now ordering online becomes

that more appealing.

And it uses up less calories.
