I'm going to weigh in on the clothing side of things...I'm in roughly your same boat. To start, I love my body, wouldn't change it...that being said, it is impossible to find appropriate clothes! The only thing I can think is that clothing makers know that the chances are good that the person looking/trying their clothes are not hour glass shaped and more than likely are probably over-weight or at least pudgy. If you take that into account, the only reason a person would need boob room is because their stomach can't hold all the pudge, so their chest swole up, too. I know a few people who started losing weight, but then lost their boobs in the process and were pissed. Back to the point...That means if they need a large, it's not because they have boobs, it's because they have boobs, belly, butt, back, everything. I think other than models who are anorexic, but proportional, the slim (not fat, but not skinny) proportional girl with hips and boobs and a smaller waist is a rarity anymore. Although I don't fit any regular clothing ( ... )

yeah, it sucks! but i must say.. i went to old navy today and remembered how well their shirts fit. :] good job old navy. what's strange though is all their models are teeny little girls, so i dunno how they actually fit into the clothes. xxxs maybe? haha like a 10-12 would be a plus size model, but then to be a "normal" (ha!!!) model you have to be a size 2. so what about the 4,6,8 people? grr. haha

so maybe racism isn't RACE-ism at all, maybe it's classism and just being judgemental about the way people dress/walk/talk/present themselves. and it just so happens that similar dresser/walker/talker/presenters are usually of similar race as well. that makes even more sense! but still no excuse for the true and blunt race-ist.
