Dear Lane Bryant Catalog Woman Within,

If you have to mention (twice!) that the chest stripe on the tunic is flattering, I'm probably not going to go all mesmerized and think "Hey, look at that stripe across her chest. How flattering is that?!"...what I probably will do is wonder why you're pushing the flattering thing so hard. And think "Weird stripe. It isn't a bad stripe...just weird".

Also, I still think Woman Within is a dumb name. Unless you're selling pink spleen cozies or something.

Kisses,

Gessi

I had more to say, but my child decided that being a snotty little brat was more important that anything else on this planet, there has been simply oodles of drama at and the moment, she's not allowed to do anything but sit in a chair, breathe and think.

Oh good. She's decided to whine (Which, you may notice, isn't on the list of things she's allowed to do). Fuckin' yay.

So, bad moods all around.

I don't have a spleen. No cozie for me. :(

Oh no, why not? I am loosing my spleen to lupus. It is still there, but in name only. How or why was yours removed?

Knife fight in Korea.

No, wait. That's not right.

Ah, I remember. Had it removed because it was about to explode and take me with it. Largest spleen ever removed from a living human at Stanford. Biopsy of the Spleen That Ate Palo Alto revealed that I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

That's when life got really fun.

What you need is a knitted pseudo-spleen. You can keep it on the dashboard, and when people ask what it is you can tell them that you just vented your spleen....

Spleen cozies or knitted uteruses (uteri?) or a knitted digestive tract maybe?

Na, just the spleen cozie. Just added you back.

Hell yeah!

They mention it because, you know, nobody EVERY stares at a woman's chest as it is.

"Woman Within" makes me think that LB has finally noticed that their slightly odd sizing and cuts have made them very popular with the TV community.

That...has got to be the most insulting place to buy clothes I've seen all week. Hands down.

Heh. It is a stupid name. Hadn't thought of that before.

Oh, ack. *sends Sammy anti-brat vibes and you survival vibes*

Love you.

that stripe is OK if you're flat chested.

*hugs to you and hands you duck tape in sympathy*

The chest stripe irks me as I don't NEED any additional attention brought to that area. LOL

Pink Spleen Cozies would be a great name for a band.

Punk. Definitely punk.

I think the reason they keep mentioning how flattering that chest stripe is is because it's butt-ugly.

I love that the model for the outfit is all of a size 8 (if that), yet the smallest size the outfit comes in is a 14w-16w
