I know! I have no clue why I didn’t think of that before. We have the means to travel… why not make it worth our while and make a difference? :)

That tattoo is actually one I found on flickr common license images. My tattoo is of the poppies (second image). The others are ones I liked that I wanted to share with my readers. :)

Ha, centimeters! That’s right. Silly US and it’s Imperialistic system is rotting my mind. ;) Either way, at least a 36 does equal that amount in Europe. Why can’t the US measure correctly? If you’re saying it’s 29 inches wide, dude, last I checked there’s only one length that’s 29 inches. Bah.

It is more expensive – except Europe H&M is way cheaper than the US one! Definitely better quality, though. But ack, 80s?! Tell Germany that died out 20-25 years ago… ;)

inches in Europe??? you meant centimeters right- metric system? And I agree with the large sway in sizes for the US. Its hard to order by mail here because I just dont know if a size 6 really is a 6 or is it an 8?? But I will say for the European side I do have a couple of complaints. You will never find anything at the prices you can find in the states – grant it the quality is better. But if I am just buying a t-shirt I dont want to spend 40 euros. I rather order from Old Navy and pay 10 bucks for something like that. Dresses, jackets, and for a nice fit in pants yeah the 60-70 euros are ok. But my OTHER complaint about European clothes – they favor the skinny leg jean thing and bright 80s prints glam/rock prints. Both are just not my thing -

You just need to “run” the world, baby girl! You shoot straight from the hip and mince no words. Just like your Daddy….

Too many companies are moving to this sizing set-up. It’s sad that they’d do that and even put up a chart telling you what your size means you should fit. I’ll never be a size 27 thanks to wide hips that I love, and I don’t even want to get started on those size 19s I’ve seen around. Yikes.

I do understand some women are naturally very slender, and that’s fine; I just see this new way to size pants as the dangerous start to a lot of poor self-image ideals among women (particularly younger women or women with a history of eating disorders). Sigh.
