I'm a larger woman. I'm 175cm tall (5' 9" for those metrically-challenged, or 69" for the others). I weigh enough that I'm curved, but not outrageously. In Australia, I take a size 18 for most things, with the occasional incursion into something slightly larger for trousers and smaller for shirts. And it's a pain - you can shop at Woolies or Kmart for polyester joy or hit the tunic-and-Mama-Cass outfits at Maggie T, or track down the odd other one (like the new one that's opened in our shopping centre, that I must check out).

So when I heard on the radio that there's a shop that specialises in nice clothes for the taller woman, my heart went "Woot"! I hoped for something corporate-style, some nice flowing tops like the tiny baby sized girly shops mainstream shops show, and maybe even a denim pinafore.

So I hit the web site.

Most of the clothes are sizes 8-14. To give you an idea, Elle McPherson was a 14 when she still had curves. To be a size 14, I would be slim. To be a size below that, I would be dangerously thin. A couple of size 18 black trousers, and that's it.

While I accept that overweight is a problem, I don't appreciate the message here. They won't even get the publicity of being named here as a result.

The following is a description of how Creation Evidence justify the arrival of human beings on this earth.

Into this sublime habitat God introduced man - to comprehend its works, to correlate its products, and to communicate with its Creator. Audibilized radio signals transmitted the music of the spheres each morning, heralding the harmonic symphony of all creation. A mist rose from the effects of this music, vibrating crystals of sand in the water table.

An optimal geomagnetic field charged the waters, energizing living systems. Adequate atmospheric pressure enabled dinosaurs to reach full stature, which in turn enabled them to keep luxuriant vegetation in check. Moderate temperatures bathed the globe, and warm thermal springs encouraged the growth of vegetation. Magenta hues added to the stimulation, and aerating worms interacted the soil and atmosphere.


MAGENTA HUES????? Even the Evil Bunny Rabbits have better excuses than that!
