Ordering mens jeans for women
Comments (12)You can have jeans tailored just like other clothes. Most mens stores have a tailor that works with the store, although this is getting harder to find these days. Or check around and find a seamtress, most work out of their homes but advertise, or are listed in the Yellow Pages. Or ask at a bridal shop for the name or business card of the seamstress they use. I have boughten men's jeans and had them taken in at the waist. You can have them hemmed too, of course. To take them in at the waist they can either put in two darts or take in the backseam. If they take in the backseam they need to have a special sewing machine that does felled seams. This may cost more to have done. Mens jeans are sized by the waist and the inseam length, in various combinations. Measure your waist at the point where the waist of the jeans will fall, this is not neccessarily at the bellybutton. Never order jeans from a cataloge or online. They will never fit right. (Unless you are already familiar with the brand and style# and are only replacing jeans you already own.) Every brand caters to a different figure type and fit....See MoreCan men and women be 'just friends'?
Comments (63)I think it's all depending on whether that male friend found the woman to be attractive or not. Also, it's depending on the level of their closeness & mental intimacy. If a man found a woman who's his soul mate on email exchange, and irl she's physical/sexually attractive, it's probably difficult for him to not falling for her (whether he wants it or not). I have a lot of male friends, but they aren't my soul mates and I'm not attracted to them. I'm there to help then anytime they need me, we are very good friends since we were 18 (met in college) but because we don't have physical attraction for each other, nothing ever happened. They are all married w/ kids. However, I'm very cautious a/b entering a level where a male friend became my soul mate . If I found a man who is my soul mate (understand me, sharing my common passions, etc.) and we are both physically attracted to each other, then it would be tough to keep my marriage intact. I do not want to be tempted, you know, so I don't even go there. Yes, I can be friends, but I don't let any man enter the inner sanctum of my heart :-). Once (before DH) I knew this man from the internet who was my soulmate in every way. We often compared ourselves to Sabine & Griffith who live on parallel universe. Well, we met irl & while he was very physical attracted to me, I am not attracted to him. He ended up being hurt by my refusal & that broke our friendship. If I was remotely attracted to him, we are probably married now. :-) A lot of marital affairs started out as friendship, you know. :-)...See MoreWomen's Dress Sizes &
Comments (20)I was quite tiny in the sixties. I used to shop at the 5-7-9 shop and be in tears because pants would still be too baggy on me. I wore 3's in pants because they were the smallest size available. I would take some of them in or buy them at Frederick's of Hollywood where they ran small. My wedding dress was a 3 that had to be taken in. Today I look at clothes on the racks and marvel at how many teeny tiny things are available. I have noticed that teens that are small today still seem to have bellies. I was tiny but had a firm athletic build. I still had curves but an utterly flat belly. Never had a small waist but had good hips that made it look like I did....See MoreBlaming U.S. states for women's 'dismal' health
Comments (25)It's pretty complicated. I realize I have a unique viewpoint that few people share, but I feel pretty strongly about it. I apologize if I offend any of you and it's not meant personally and I'm not intending to start a debate. I don't believe in eating meat. That's an ethical choice for me, but it's also a health choice, especially in recent years. I believe it harms the body. Hundreds of years ago, people hunted for their food. It was active, the animals were wild and eating their own intended food. And meat wasn't the main portion of the meal. I honestly don't really have as much of an ethical problem with that. Today, we waddle down to the local supermarket to pick up the $2.99 pound of hamburger that is loaded with antibiotics, pesticides, hormones, fecal matter, adrenalin, preservatives and who knows what. These animals are kept in awful conditions, fed unnatural food and experience fear, which you end up ingesting. As Patser mentioned, it leads to antibiotic resistance, little girls are developing faster than ever from the hormones and the role of meat has changed. In the land of Atkins and super value meals, the meat has become the meal, usually with some sort of starch and maybe a side of vegetables. Maybe. I feel the same way about dairy. We're the only species who drinks milk past infancy. We're the only species who drinks other species milk. I don't believe it's healthy for you. Many people get upset stomachs and they're "lactose intolerant" and need to take medications in order to keep consuming the dairy. Doesn't that mean something? When we ingest something we aren't supposed to, the body vomits it as a preservation measure. However, we're taught from childhood that milk is essential to thrive. So this is where my issue with the government "education" lies. I've seen countless ads showing "scientific" studies on the benefits of of consuming this and that. There's one saying you will lose weight if you add 24 oz of milk a day to your diet. However, these ads are usually sponsored by some sort of large interest group. There's rampant corruption among special interest groups and the national nutritional standards. Have you seen those recent commercials about high fructose corn syrup, saying it's natural? They want to call it corn sugar and they claim it's the same as regular sugar. It's pretty much one of the worst things that you can put in your body and my issue is that the average public BELIEVES what they're saying. So while I do believe in personal responsibility, I also think that many, many people are mislead by special interest groups who support these "studies" that they present to the public to make them feel better and healthier for consuming their products. I think there should be stricter standards for advertising such claims because profiting from encouraging poor nutrition choices is just wrong....See More- 11 years ago
