while at my parents’ house this weekend, my mom asked if the pants i was wearing were new. that was quite amusing because had she looked at them, she would’ve seen the various small tears in them.
i said, “do you know when i got these?”, which of course was silly to ask since she’d wondered if they were new. ( Read more )

a size by any other name
so, i clicked and skimmed this article on a model who increased her weight and the industrial effects of that (yeah, i know better). it was somewhat interesting, though, which is why i’m putting it here (in traditional adia form, i’ve eliminated numbers and specific behaviors). i like it because it calls out the b.s. of the fashion industry.

“my normal is this”
yay! happy post!
this is about the glamour magazine/”plus sized”* model whose tummy – the real tummy – not the taut, airbrushed enigma we usually see – was shown in the magazine.

in case you haven’t seen a picture of the model in question, here is 20-year old lizzie miller:
