why would they want to play golf in atlanta in august? they're all soaking through their shirts.

so i was like, yeah all they had was a 14 and i'm about half that, and he was like, so you're an 8, and i was all, um... more of a 6 but yeah, 6 or 8. he goes, didn't you used to be a 4? so i took out my gun, and i shot him.

2 - 4 - 6 - 8 - who do we appreciate? clothing sizers? hell no. the thing is that i am a 6 or 8 in that particular brand for which i was shopping tonight. one brand, one label, one line of clothing, and even within that tiny hemisphere, i have to try it on because it could be 6 or 8. oh, and from that very line, in my closet, i have a 4 that fits just fine, thankyouverymuch.

in my closet there's everything from 2 to 10, s to xl, long to short to up to down to in and out and all about. there are 10s that are tight and smalls that are loose and 6s and 8s that fit exactly the same one as the other.

the sizing chaos makes shopping into a complete aggravation. i don't even enjoy shopping in the first place. i do enjoy buying, but not shopping. i know what i like, why do i want to waste time looking around? i have specific ideas going in, which you'd think would make things simpler, but noooo - 9 times out of 10 what i imagine simply doesn't exist. color, cut, style, length - i know exactly what i am looking for. if i could sew, i would be all set.

thusly, combine the fact that i am looking for something specific with the fact that specific items are rare and furthermore, if by some force of magic i locate the item, then to purchase it with confidence i will be required to try on 3 or 4 sizes to find the one that fits me. chances are, if the item i want exists, it will not be available in my size.

lady hagen khaki skort size 6 or 8. i really don't think it's too much to ask.
