icepixieI bring you Hexiom and Honey Trouble. Honey Trouble is basically an easier version of Zuma. It kept me up until 3 AM last night, despite avowals of going to bed, because the bear is just so happy when you win and he gets his honey that I couldn't deny him the next level.
Hexiom, on the other hand, is maddening and I hate it. Er...I'm stuck on level 19. Tips?

I have tulip bulbs! I bought twelve while at the hardware store yesterday. They had ones with black petals, but I decided I wanted pretty more than novel, so I went with multicolored. (I like tulips. I like them enough to dig in the dirt in order to have them in April. This is huge.)
I also have a shirt, although not really the one I needed to go with a skirt I have. I say booooo to the current trend for empire-waisted babydoll-type shirts (example). They look flattering on the mannequins, but get them on anyone more endowed than your average stick insect, and they promptly become comedy pieces. The waistline, which on the models goes under the boobs, sits about halfway up them on me. Maybe a third of the way up on patterns with a more generous fabric allowance above the waistline. HATE. I mean, there's a reason I gave up on the juniors' section several years ago. I am irked at shirts made for that body type infesting the sizes I actually can wear.
I also have no love for the current trend of long, long shirts. If I wanted the hem at my knees, I would've bought a dress, kthx. [/clothes ranting]

Went for a walk and took pictures yesterday as well. Will post soonish.

Date: 2007-09-24 04:35 am (UTC)Start at the very top. Go clockwise to the far right - 1, 2, 2. Then down the far right side - 2, 2. Down and to the left - 3. Very bottom - 2. Straight up - 3, 2. Diagonally to the left and up - 3, 2. Straight down - 3, 1. It kind of looks like a snake with a 1 on each end, they just don't end up opposite each other.
*curses you for starting me on this*

Date: 2007-09-23 09:41 pm (UTC)Yeah, the choices seem to be either "anorexic" or "pregnant". I've lost count of the number of cute, tiny little high school girls who've made me wonder if they're pregnant just because they're wearing those shirts.
I also have no love for the current trend of long, long shirts.
Hi, I have hips. And a stomach and an ass, so the hemlines on your tight, long shirts either roll up back up to my waist or make me look like a badly stuffed sausage. Gee, can't imagine why I'm not running out to buy them!

Date: 2007-09-23 11:47 pm (UTC)Oh, I haven't even gotten to a point where I can care about that aspect. I'm still irritated at the lack of consideration for anyone over an A cup. But yes, the pregnancy thing...uh, these waistlines were originally conceived so that the wearer could get pregnant without having to alter her clothing. There is no way to mask that.

Exactly!

Date: 2007-09-24 05:46 am (UTC)Because anything "stylish" that actually accommodates a chest bigger than that is so low-cut it makes you look like a prostitute. All I can figure is that the people making the clothes are all flat-chested and so incredibly envious of "real" boobs, they figure anyone who actually has them MUST want to show them off! *eye roll*

Date: 2007-09-24 12:14 pm (UTC)Yes, I have a multitude of safety pins, because "prostitute" is not a good look on me. They're pretty shirts, and yet I would like to wear them to work without being sent home to change...

Date: 2007-09-24 07:32 pm (UTC)B.) shows off the bra that I HAVE to wear bc, hello D cup; and if you finagle the bra out of the way its no longer supporting anything; underwires are supposed to be under, not hugging my ribcage so you dont see it, and
C.) I dont want to show off my body that much every. damn. day. If Im going out, or in that kinda clothes mood, or have to get dressed up its one thing, to go to work myself, or run up to the mall? Not freaking necessary. and
D.) Dont have kids, dont want kids, really dont want to look like Im about to have one.
Oy.
