Avon. Hate.
Maybe not hate, but I am more than a bit aggrieved right now.
There is an Avon catalogue in our kitchen right now. On the front it says "Featuring Slimwear."
The model is this little slim thing that probably wears a size 6 when she's bloated. I'm not saying that women of all shapes and sizes don't have body image problems, but ... I'm really going to find it hard to take interest in slimwear when the model doesn't look like she needs it.
Ugh. Does anyone know the average dress size of a woman in the US today? Depending on the source, it's a 12 or 14.
(I swear, when I hit the lottery, I'm going to find a designer and create a proper line of clothes. Gonna call it Pleasingly Plump and it will be for those of us who are short and fat. No, I am not "big boned." Thanks for playing.)
