    Question: Styles best on larger women?

    I think you mean no horizontal stripes, which can make one look shorter (cut off) and wider. Vertical stripes can be quite flattering on larger figures, such as a nice pinstripe for example, because they elongate the body and make it appear more narrow. For the print thing, I've always been...

    Charming Shoppes acquired by Ascena Retail Group

    FFS. I just recently discovered that lb.com is shipping to Canada again. I hope the new direction doesn't screw with that.

    Dear Conrad:

    The guy is a sleeze. Did he deserve to be outed? Damn right. Is there anything that Dims can do about this situation, or to prevent this from happening in the future? Not likely. Is it a board issue? Yes and No. There shouldn't be any reason not to discuss it on the board, but at the same time I...

    TLC's Big Brooklyn Style

    I caught last week's premiere. I liked it -- very positive, well done, practical advice (if a little staged, as reality TV is.) I've enjoyed it far more than any other TLC fat programming. I see the online store for Lee Lee's Valise crashed after the premiere. She must have gained quite the...

    so..

    I don't agree that anyone should have pets if they can't afford to look after them. But as a pet parent, I also refuse to treat pets as "disposable" when it comes to finding a place to live... there are places that allow pets, and anyone who ditches an animal because their apartment won't allow...

    Has anyone bought clothes from this place? I just discovered them!

    I used to love Holyclothing -- always got compliments, always adored their styles and fit. That said, my second last order was a bit of a disappointment... the fit wasn't quite as advertised in their measurements (two tops were 5 inches shorter than expected) and I do find that many of their...

    sub-cutaneous shots

    The problems you are identifying are likely not related to the injections, but to the medication itself. Most anti-coagulants (like heparin for example) are very painful when injected, cause a lot of bruising and swelling at the injection site (which in turn cause those hardened lumps) and are...

    Not a Happy GRRL

    I should have clarified that I haven't seen any personally. Of the number of people I've known who have gone under the knife, the success rate it at a firm 0%. For some it has been a lack of weight loss (or complete inability to change their habits), and for others the surgery has resulted in...

    Not a Happy GRRL

    I mentioned the neuropathy because it could be an issue. As Vickie said, nutritional deficiencies can contribute to it. Why won't they do the GRS over a certain weight? Can you get clarification on that? If they're concerned about risks, isn't it a greater risk to have a second unnecessary...

    Not a Happy GRRL

    Quickest is not necessarily the best. Regardless of your situation and identity issues, you should make decisions that are best for your whole self. What happens if you have WLS, it doesn't correct your neuropathy but it permits you to have the re-assignment surgery. Then you discover the...

    Mary Kay!!!

    I'm not a Mary Kay fan - never found anything in their line that I liked. But I've know people involved with it. I like to direct anyone who's ever been subjected to the "be my model" pressure to visit www.pinktruth.com. I've read through almost that whole site (as well as other multi-level...

    So, Now that I am out the closet I need to fill it with clothes~

    As an addendum to Jes's comments - are you currently wearing women's clothing in private only, or out of the house? i.e. have you reached the point where you identify in public as female? If so, or if you're on the cusp, I'd suggest using your borrowed clothing from your friend to go shopping...

    Massive Toronto lingerie deals

    Anyone located nearby? There's a small liquidation store on Yonge St. called Holco Sales - they're on the West side, between Wellesley and College. They've got inventory from Addition-Elle in stock. Not much for clothes, but I've been cleaning up in undergarments. Bras, Bras and more Bras...

    Has anyone every purchased from this ebay store?!

    That suits you! I found the jacket was too short, the sleeves too long, and the proportions were off. And the fabric was cheap. If it had been the same fabric as the dress, I'd have been happy and made it work. The dress I got is actually an awkward length on me too. When I get around to...

    Has anyone every purchased from this ebay store?!

    I had the same problem - I gave her my exact measurements (as she requested) and the measurements of the item I wanted (so it would fit perfect) - the dress I got was WAY too big, and had an odd shape to it too. I do like it (it's one of the chinese print dresses) so I will get it tailored one...

    Knee-High Boots

    I had been looking for a pair of tall boots for ages, but was always nervous to try them as my calves are about 22" at the widest part. I took the plunge and bought a pair of David Tate boots (the first ones) from Silhouettes - I got the burgundy patent croco print. They are amazing. I had no...

    FYI for anyone still using Everyday Minerals

    I gave up on EDM after spending a year requesting an item I paid for and never received in my order. A friend I had recommended them to had major issues as well - their customer service sucked. They had a forum at that time, and that's the only way we got ANY response from them. Of course, the...

    Makeup Tips and Ideas!

    It only took a year, but Everyday Minerals finally sent me the brush that I ordered in 2008 - and complained to them about not receiving for months. I was not impressed with their service after that. I'm in need of more finishing powder though - I loved the start to finish that I have, but...

    Forum bullies

    I've been mulling this thread over since it was first posted, and keeping up on it. I'm primarily only a lurker - that's how it is, that's how it's going to stay. When I'm bored or insomniac, I may participate more. But I often don't feel compelled to. I've had relationships with some...

    Makeup Tips and Ideas!

    I use Avon's "Effective" eye makeup remover. Damp cloth, little tab of the cleanser, and it takes off everything.
