We went to John Wayne airport maybe 5 years ago to pick someone
up. *DH noted that everyone in the place had jeans on. *He started buying
not-blue jeans for awhile. *I don't think there is much of anywhere you
can go anymore where most of the folks don't have blue denim on, and
the sizes grow just like the people do.
I've never been called skinny in my life but not extra large either. *My
nervous energy burns a lot of calories I guess.

Once years ago I took Mother with me to Paducah. After spending a day
around quilters she said, "You all look alike." Indeed, looking around
the room the majority of us were wearing denim skirts or pants with
either a patchwork vest or decorated sweatshirt jacket. Most were
wearing an extra large size but a few were more likely 2X. Hair color
and styles varied but required little maintenance. Shoes were
practical.


Glad somebody else said the above. If I had mentioned any of that, it
would have precipitated a feminist flame war.

We have some friends who live in the British Isles. They laughingly
describe Americans as "Those people who get off the tour bus, the men
wearing leisure suits, and the women wearing pants with an x-large
blouse hanging outside the pants to hide the girth", and asking,
"which way to the Castle?" I got a kick out of that description, as It
often did seem that way.
