There are two things in life that we all deal with and they are naturally linked together. Our size and the clothes we wear accordingly portrait a visible first impression. For most of us this is not a problem. But, there are those in our society that just don’t conform to the norms we accept.
For example: How many times have you seen a big girl wearing little girl clothes?
I’m not degrading people of girth, but I am degrading those with girth that think people want to see more of it than necessary. If you’re 5-foot-6 and you weight 190 there’s no sense in showing off 150 pounds of that 190. It all goes back to the saying, “Trying to stuff 10 pounds of taters in a five pound sack.”
No matter how you stuff them taters, they all won’t fit.
And I’m not picking on women either, men are just as guilty. I don’t have six-pack abs and my arms look like they’re chiseled from solid Crisco. Because of my physique, or lack thereof, I don’t wear tank tops or tight shirts that show off something I don’t have.
The good Lord made us all different. Some women have long, lean bodies like Paris Hilton. Some women look more like a Hilton Hotel located in Paris.
We should all strive to be proud of how we look. I’m never going to be a super hunk with the body of a Greek statue. I’ve found out that gorging on Mexican food doesn’t lend itself to making you look Greek.
I was standing in line at a grocery store and the couple in front me both needed an extreme wardrobe makeover. They were built like two tons of fun and they had stuff hanging out all over the place. Credit should be give to whomever sewed the stitches on that girls top because she was about to bust out of the seams in more than one location. Her partner in fashion crime didn’t fare much better. He was wearing a tank top two sizes too small and had more hair on his back than a cocker spaniel. I too was blessed with back hair, but I don’t go strutting around like a proud Sasquatch either.
I know Adam and Eve wore only fig leaves, but they didn’t have access to McRae’s either. Clothes are made to fit folks of every shape and size and subscribing to the philosophy of just letting it all hang out doesn’t work. In fact, the rule should be: If it hangs out then most people don’t want to see it.

You're such a man. McRae's has TOTALLY been out of business for a good many years. Dude - if you're gonna use a department store reference, at least use one that's still open! HAHAHA!!!
My captcha was "flu alien".
Ooh! Then that captcha was "fling"!
I'm sorry. I've had too much sugar this morning.
I would counter that the tank top is one of the few "forbidden" pieces of clothing for a hefty guy, whereas there's a WHOLE RANGE of styles that larger women are unable to carry off. Therefore, it's much easier for a woman to make a fashion error of this . . . magnitude. (!)
At any rate, I think it would do us ALL a bit of good if everyone, regardless of size, wasn't so eager to blatantly market their wares. Skinny people walk around wearing nothing, and that makes larger folks want to do it, too. I really don't care to see ANY of it, thank you just the same.
The guy who invented spandex did us all a disservice, IMO.
Guys, leave the tank tops in the gym! Ladies, if you're gonna wear thongs, I don't wanna see em.
Yeah I feel ya..and the worst is going to the beach or something and fat chicks are wearing binkini's...bleck! We went to Beals Street and there were a ton of big girls wearing tiny clothes..they are in denial..
