		<description>Hey trish

I found &lt;a href=&quot;http://rehashclothes.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this site&lt;/a&gt; that I thought you might dig.

I prefer the As Is over thriftown but that&#039;s because I like to hunt.</description>

		<description>I love those knee socks.  They look so comfortable and cosy. Sadly my knitting talents are not quite up to scratch  ( scarves only - and a bit wonky to boot ), so I may have to shop around for some like these.</description>

		<description>The article about the tall woman is wonderful!! I&#039;m 5&#039;10 and I&#039;m in grade 10, so it&#039;s definitely not as extreme as her height, but people tell me I&#039;m tall so much! Like they think I don&#039;t know, hahaha. And my boyfriend is 5&#039;4! THAT gets us the most weird looks. (funny thing is, he&#039;s two years older!) I used to be uncomfortable about my height and how I looked with my boyfriend, but now I love being tall and neither of us care what anyone else thinks of us anymore. :)</description>

		<description>Tricia - seriously, thanks for the post about tall girls. I always hear &quot;oh, I&#039;d love to be so tall!&quot; and, while I love it now, it&#039;s taken me a lot of years to grow into. I still occasionally find myself completely disarmed by exclamations about my height, I think more so because as I get older, I somehow expect that the rest of the world, like me, should be used to this by now, and I can&#039;t understand why it isn&#039;t.

I&#039;m fairly small busted, too, so I&#039;ll admit that the return of the empire silhouette has been a golden opportunity for me, personally. That said, I think you raise an interesting point here: as discussed here recently, the fashion mags and so-called &quot;insiders&quot; these days proclaim, &quot;anything goes!&quot; Yet I think you&#039;ve succesfully problematized this proclamation by identifying a new type of fashion rule: anything may go style-wise, but not if the clothing is only being made for one body type. The inherent contradiction suggests to me a subtler (and I think, more disturbing) attempt to control the current &quot;look&quot;: moving beyond dictating silhouettes, hemlines, or colour palettes to necessitating conformity of body shape itself.</description>

		<description>awesome links, as usual!! :D I really have to say I agree with you on your assesment of Karl Lagerfield; after reading &quot;The Beautiful Fall&quot; last summer (truly a piece of eye-opening trash ;), I was quite disgusted with the man. lol.

I concur with your statement about fashion and bust sizes!!! I hate that people get pigeonholed into one end or the other by the whims of the industry. I&#039;m on the small side, and even I find tops hard to fit into sometimes! I mean really: HELLO! do they expect us to really be that flat-chested, or want ourselves popping out?! whatever... rofl.</description>

		<description>re: Karl:
I think he&#039;s a caricature of himself, a lot of people are Karl Lagerfeld for Carnival or Halloween here. Is there anybody taking him serious beside himself?! ;D
People who have so much hatred in them scare me, it&#039;s striking how much he uses the word &#039;hate&#039; in this interview.</description>
