what i'm not comfortable with is the clothing industry progressively making women's clothing slimmer-cut and paring down the measurements on sizing... a size 8 in today's market is NOT the same as a size 8 was 10 years ago.
so yeah, i do have frustration when if comes to buying clothes sometimes... i'm big but i'm not HUGE. i'm also not poorly proportioned... i know to go for the larger sizes because they fit me better and hence make me look better. but when i can't even zip the 16, then there's something out of line... or when the largest pant size available is a 32... or when a store has done away with XL altogether and their L is now a medium in all other stores... or when a store sells up to XXXL for men and the ladies (not misses) L would be sausage-casing-esque on preteens... yeah, these kinds of situations yank my chain just a smidge.
now, i don't want to detract from what a lovely human being gabourey sidibe seems and i definitely do NOT want to ad to all the negativity that people have been stirring up concerning her weight but... when i see the following, i'm thinking to myself, "where the hell can YOU find a HURLEY sweatshirt that ZIPS UP when i can't even find one where i can get my arm in the sleeve?!?"
