I'm sitting here at my desk in the apartment while the local news drones on the TV behind me (I usually keep the TV or stereo on while I'm on the computer for "company," as my grandmother says). Suddenly, I hear the newscaster say the following: "It's playtime for the plus-sized!" This was apparently an intro to a story about some fashion-for-people-over-size-14 event that was held in town today. Yeah, Ms. Size Zero Local Reporter Who Clearly Got Her Job By Sleeping With Producers (trust me; if you'd ever seen this broad on the news, you'd agree with me that she sure as hell didn't get the gig on brains and talent), it's one big happy frolick for these women just because there's an event that recognizes that bigger women should have some selection of clothing beyond the mumu/tentlike crap they sell in KMart. If I ran the world, this would be my lead-in: "Holy hell! It's about damn time someone made nice clothes for women who don't look like a stiff wind could blow them into the next county!"
