The Motherhood...

Yesterday I had the divine pleasure of shopping. Yes that statement is dripping with sarcasm. Perhaps I have faulty DNA but as a woman I loathe shopping for anything but purses and linen. It has been my experience that most stores geared at 20 somethings present clothes that are either ridiculously "trendy" trashy or cater only to very compact bodies. I prefer to be none of the previously listed. Which then places me in stores carrying fashions more appropriate for my mother. So while I wandered the mall yesterday in dismay it came to my attention that there is one store which carries body conscience, cute clothes...The Motherhood! That's right, I see things I like better than any Hollister or Wet Seal garb at a maternity store. Something is very wrong with this fact and I don't think it's me. So my next goal is to contact the Motherhood peeps and convince them to create a line that does not have stretch panel tummies and breast-feeding friendly tops just for me.

Interesting note...when griping to Princey Pooh (who had spent the day and roughly $300 casually shopping for a few items) he said, "I don't understand what you mean. How can they not have clothes that fit your body? I would say you're a pretty standard average* woman." BINGO Princey, standard average while by definition should include large masses (of people not weight) is apparently not trendy, trashy or compact, and hence unworthy of its own clothing line. Also just a quick post-it to the Barbie next to me at the gym. While I applaud any and all for working out, don't look at me in disgust as I sweat through miles on the treadmill when you sashay in wearing butt-skimming terry cloth shorts, a wife beater and your Malibu blonde hair DOWN to use the elliptical. Not sure what you plan to accomplish in that outfit but I'm not thinking sweating is on your agenda. Faulty DNA to blame again?!

* I happen to be 5'4 and 140 to 145 pounds. According to multiple sources, the average American woman is 5'4, weighs 140 to 150 pounds and a wears a size 14. Certainly not Abercrombie material so WTF?!
