What does a tailor do for women’s clothes?

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
trulve asked:


Recently I bought a shirt I love so much, but the problem is I am petite with an ample chest. The smallest size fits through the arms and shoulders but pulls across the chest and feels too tight. The next size up has too much room under the arms but does fit through the chest. My question is, I’ve never had clothes tailored before what does a tailor do? Can they fix the arm problem? Do I just go to a men’s clothing tailor?

Special Occasion Fashion Help for a Short Overweight Woman?

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009
Trina C asked:


A recent serious illness and medication required to treat the illness left me seriously obese. Once the medication stopped and I could resume a normal lifestyle, I began losing weight. However, I am still obese now and my daughter is graduating from college at the end of this week. I need to purchase a special outfit for the occasion. The ceremony is at night and we will be having a party for her afterwards. I am totally clueless at what to look for that will not make me look like a whale or a total joke. I am 5 feet 2 with a huge bustline, narrow shoulders, short neck, next to no waist and believe it or not, hips that are slightly narrower than my chest. I do not look good in black, but want to wear a dress or dressy suit in keeping with the event. My normal pre-illness size was petite size 4 with alterations for leg and arm length. Womens size 2X fits through the bust but nowhere else. Style suggestions please and for accessories, too? I still have fat rolls from chest to hip.

Anyone know of a good strech jean for a curvy petite woman?

Monday, April 27th, 2009
trulve asked:


Does anyone know who makes a really good stretch jean? I am having so much trouble finding a pair that fits my proportions perfectly. I have two big challenges. First of all, I am petite. I usually where a size 0 short in juniors or if I can’t find a petite length I will have them hemed. I usually don’t have a problem finding my size but I also have the curse of having a slightly bigger lower body. I’m tired of throwing money away having them altered only to be dissatisfied. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Choosing Designer Handbags to Flatter Your Shape and Outfit

Monday, April 27th, 2009
Daniel Millions asked:


Appearances are everything when it comes to showing off your designer handbags. Before you buy your handbag, you should consider a few tips that will help you to choose a handbag that will complement your body shape and your outfit. Not all purses suit every person and each outfit even though a particular beautifully styled and well-made designer handbag may please many people.

When you are looking at handbags, it is easier to narrow your choices when you can remove some options from your favorite handbag lists. A general rule for choosing handbags is to choose handbags with lines that contrast with your own body shape; these contrastingly shaped handbags will balance your overall shape rather than calling attention to it by strengthening that shape in your overall appearance.

The size of a person should be reflected in the size of their handbag. Two obvious examples of an unbalanced reflection would result from when a large person carries a little handbag or when a small person carries a very big handbag. In both of these cases, the appearance is not complementary. The tall or large person should choose a larger bag that is suitable to their size.

If a petite person requires more handbag space, a tote style handbag or long clutch style is suitable. A low-slung tote bag with long shoulder handles will add height to the short person’s appearance more so than would result from carrying the tote with short handles by hand. A tall, thin person can choose handbags with rounder shapes. They can choose large hobo or slouch style bags

Another factor that should be considered is whether a person’s shape is more curvy or straight lined. It is more flattering to choose a handbag with a shape that contrasts with the shape of the person who will carry the bag. Consider the shape of the outfits that you wear when you choose a designer handbag, particularly special events outfits as well.

When a person has a very curvy shape, that person’s handbag should have a sleek shape to attain a flattering contrast between the person and their handbag. For instance, a pear shaped woman will call attention to her shape with a round handbag while a better choice would be a rectangular medium-sized structured bag about the size of a cigar box. A short person with a rounder shape should choose larger handbags, such as a longer hand clutch with structure or a long handled tall tote bag that hung from the shoulder.

A bust line may be emphasized by a short handled purse that rests at the armpit. The short handled bags are not suitable for large bust lines, which are instead flattered by purses with long straps. Trim waists are complemented by handbags that are held at waist level by long straps.

When you buy designer handbags, it is important that you are happy with your appearance while carrying the bag. You can choose designer handbags that will compliment your shape and outfit by following some simple tips. Although, if you just have to have that certain designer handbag no matter if it does not contrast with your size or shape and it does not exactly flatter any outfit that you have yet, just go for it and enjoy it! The important thing is that you are confident and relaxed with your style.

The Dildo; A Foundation of Civilization as We Know It

Monday, April 27th, 2009
Leila Gabrielle asked:


Dildos played a huge part in the history of adult *** toys. They have been a part of peoples everyday lives since they were used in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. They’re a foundation of civilization, as we know it. ****** have been around since women have had a *** drive. Historians don’t know who invented the dildo, but its popularity is due to the ancient Greek port city, Miletus. Miletan traders sold ****** around the Mediterranean as sexual refuges for lonely ladies. Women in many cultures from Greece, to china, to India and beyond, adored ******.

Dildos are fun, simple and safe, offering you the greatest amount of control of any *** toy. Only you determine the degree and angle of penetration, thrusting speed, and all other creative concepts.

It’s no accident, and it should be no surprise, that ****** come in such a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. There are about as many uses for ****** as there are people who use them, and with a large and varied market comes a large and varied selection. When shopping for a dildo, imagine you’re shopping for your perfect *****.

Certain materials are better suited for sharing with a partner and certain shapes are more appropriate for **** play. Each material gives a ***** a certain look and feel, and may have specific cleaning requirements. On one hand you have silicone, which is soft, flexible and almost lifelike to the touch. On the other hand you have plastic, which is hard, inflexible and, as you can imagine, does not feel like human skin. Choosing a dildo, however, does not have to be confusing or overwhelming.

The first thing to determine is how you will be using the *****. Do you plan on using it for vaginal *********** only, or is there a chance you might use it for **** play? Do you plan on sharing your ***** with a partner, or do you anticipate being the only user? Do you think you would like a soft, pliable material or does the idea of a hard, stiff material excite you? Does the appearance of a realistic *** toy turn you on, or would you rather stick with a smaller, smooth ***** that doesn’t resemble a *****?

The type of material you choose will depend on the particular feel you’re going for. If you want a lifelike feel you would probably want to choose a ***** made from Cyberskin, UR3, silicone or one of the other lifelike materials. Each of the realistic materials feel like human skin to some degree or another, and each has very different cleaning and care requirements. Cyberskin is delicate and requires special care while silicone is extremely durable. If you’re not too concerned with having the most realistic feeling ***** you might be happy with either plastic or jelly. Plastic ****** are usually hard and inflexible, while jelly ****** are typically soft and pliable.

We think the most important thing is to ultimately find a toy that you like. Whether plastic, silicone, jelly or any other material may be secondary, we’re sure that you will find a way to enjoy and have fun with your *****.

Traditional Dildos

Traditional ****** are a very popular choice. They’re usually shaped like a penis, although each differs in regards to how realistic they appear. Most are shaped and colored to look as close to a real ***** as possible, without the texture or material used in ultra-realistic ******. Traditional ****** fall into a range of about 5-inches up to as much as 18-inches for some of the larger models.

Popular Traditional Dildos:

ballsy super cock,squirmy rooter,classic dong

Realistic Dildos

Realistic ****** are pretty self-explanatory. They are designed to look and feel like real life dongs. Most are flesh-tone in color and several models are available in “light”, “medium” and “dark” soft flesh, to suit individual tastes. Realistic ****** can feel very real and there are several materials used to give that divine feeling of a real mans skin but they are all a true delight.

It really depends on what company makes the realistic dildo, but among the popular realistic materials are, Cyberskin, by Topco Love Company, UR3 by Doc Johnson, and Pleasureskin by Adam & Eve. Cyberskin was the first skin-like material developed for *** toys. This material looks and feels very much like human skin. It’s smooth, soft, flexible, and it even maintains heat once it warms up. Of all the realistic materials UR3 is probably the easiest to clean and care for. It is a relatively new material and is still being evaluated for durability, but so far it shows a lot of promise. It appears to be more durable than Cyberskin and therefore a bit easier to maintain. There is no doubt, however, that it looks and feels very similar to real skin.

Popular Realistic Dildos:

cyberskin cybercock,Adam’s pleasureskin cock,star performers main attraction,star performers headliner,,iToys UR3 dong,UR3 raging hard-ons,Mr. Softee, Seymour ***** cock

Jelly Dildos

Jelly ****** are very close to silicone when it comes to look and texture, but are not quite as smooth and lifelike. Jelly is a great material for people who want the realistic feel of a silicone ***** but don’t want to pay the higher price for silicone. Jelly ****** can be a little bit stiffer than silicone dildos, but many silicone ****** are extremely soft to begin with. It’s just a matter of preference. Jelly can best be described as a soft and pliable material that feels smooth to the touch yet retains some rigidity.

Jelly is more porous than silicone - so it isn’t wise to share a jelly ***** unless you use a condom. The best way to clean jelly ****** is with warm water. Never use rubbing alcohol to clean jelly, and always use water based lubrication - jelly will degrade if it is exposed to a non-water based lubricant or rubbing alcohol. If you decide on a jelly dildo, it might be a good idea to pick up some cleaner specifically designed for *** toys. The porous nature of jelly makes it harder to remove germs from the surface, but a good *** toy cleaner will kill any bacteria and leave a clean, fresh scent.

Popular Jelly Dildos:

Carmen’s **** cock, pink jelly cock,clear doc Johnson dong,Tera Patrick’s big one

Double Dongs

Double sided ****** are simply ****** that can be used from both ends. They give double the pleasure, however you chose to use them. They consist of a long shaft with two phallic heads on either end. Most double ***** *** toys come in two standard lengths: 12 inches or 18 inches that allows these *** toys to be shared with your partner or as a ************ *** toy that offers the option of double *********** for women. Ther are definitely some huge double dongs out there. Double dildos, while classically associate with ******* sex, can be used by couples of any gender or orientation. These ***** *** toys can be used vagina-to-vagina, anus-to-anus, or vagina-to-anus ***** ************. These dildos, like most other dildos, are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors.

Popular Double-Sided Dildos:

petite treat jel-lee double dong,clear doc Johnson jelly double dong,Seymour ***** glass double dong

Strap on Dildos

They’re not just for ******* couples: the power shifting and role-play involved in using a ******** ***** is arousing for all sexual pairings.

Strap-on ****** are ****** that can be attached, if desired, to a harness. Harnesses usually require that the ***** be compatible and that they have a flat or flared base to stay attached during use.

The o-ring

This is the piece that secures the ***** to the harness and sets the parameters for the width of the dong you can use. Generally, you won’t have to worry about its construction, but if you plan on using large or heavy strap-ons you’ll want an O ring that’s made out of solid metal. In almost all harnesses the O-ring is attached via straps, and this construction allows you to use different sized O-rings and thus different sized ******. One consideration to keep in mind is that a larger ***** means more sag and a less secure fit in the lesser quality harnesses

You should also keep in mind that the width of the ***** has to be smaller than the width of the harness’s O ring to fit through it. Most O-rings are at least one and a quarter inch wide, but you should still always check the measurements.

Vac-u-loc

Some harnesses, come with the Vac-u-lock system from Doc Johnson which fastens compatible ****** to the harness. Something as simple as having a solid conjoining piece between the ******** and harness is one of the best ways to secure the dildo, and besides the benefits of control and leverage this allows, it also adds to the authenticity of your fantasy role playing by making the ***** look like it’s actually a part of your body. You can also purchase the Vac-u-loc system separately. One thing you should keep in mind is that while this apparatus does help secure strap-ons, you will be limited to Vac-u-loc compatible ******. There are, however, extensive lists of compatible harnesses and strap-ons in a wide range of varieties and prices.

Popular ******** Dildos:

new cummers harness,Janine’s ******** harness & cock, Grrl Toyz bubblegum silicone strao-on,Tera Patrick’s universal harness

Glass Dildos

Glass ****** are very popular items that are not only extremely beautiful and artistic, but safe. Glass ****** are usually made of Pyrex glass, which is an extremely strong, scratch and chip-resistant material, which can be heated up or cooled down in your fridge or freezer for intense variations in temperature. Heat-treated and examined with high tech equipment for scratches, cracks and other flaws, glass ****** are - according to the manufacturer - completely safe for intimate use. Any colors used to maximize the beauty of a glass ***** will be produced from non-toxic materials and, in most cases, FDA approved to ensure ultimate safety. Glass ****** are hypoallergenic, non-porous, and dishwasher safe.

Unlike other vibes where you can only achieve a certain amount of temperature variation through using cooling or warming lubes, glass ****** can be heated up or cooled down to your liking. Varying the temperature of a glass ***** on your **** and during *********** intensifies ******* beyond belief.

Another reason for their popularity is that smooth glass equals smooth *********** and an almighty ******. Even twisted or curved glass ****** with ridges are smoother than most plastic or silicone dildos, with natural secretions running straight over their surface to make for an amazingly smooth and slippery ride.

These works of art are more expensive than most other dildos, but they are extremely beautiful and highly functional. Many women are unashamed to leave them out on their bedside table as a work of art, as well as a well-used *** toy.

A well cared for glass ***** will last just as long as any plastic alternative, if not longer.

Popular Glass Dildos:

E-Glass spine,E-Glass pure pleasure massager, E-Glass hearts delight,sensual swirls pleasure dong

Sony Ericsson Z610i: 3G in a Stylish Way

Monday, April 27th, 2009
Bradley Ben asked:


Leaving behind the ’serious’ looks rampant with today’s 3G smartphones, Sony Ericsson have came up with a petite looking clamshell that is fully packed with 3G mobile technology. The Sony Ericsson Z610i have set new standard in mobile phone design. The smooth glossy texture of the handset has a nice feel to it. The external OLED monochrome display is cleverly hidden by mirror effect and does not give away its presence till you receive a call or text.

Internal screen of the Sony Ericsson Z610i is 176 x 220 pixel, TFT that delivers more than 262k accurate and vibrant colours. The display is the perfect viewfinder for the primary camera and also produces high definition images while on video calls. The keys are well differentiated so number of wrong presses can be kept to a bare minimum.

The Sony Ericsson Z610i is endowed with a 2.0 megapixel camera. A secondary VGA camera is located on the top of the primary display so that you can make video calls across UMTS networks. The camera includes basic features like digital zoom and video recording but lacks flash and auto-focus. However, there are many fun features like Picture Blogging, clubbed with the integrated camera to keep you engrossed.

Other than UMTS, the Sony Ericsson Z610i supports triband GSM mobile network and automatically changes band. This makes the handset functional across five continents. Enjoy download speed of broadband through 3G network other than GPRS. Easy surfing through the built in NetFront browser of the Sony Ericsson Z610i makes it easier to search and download all your favourite contents directly to the device. The phone’s internal memory is about 16 Mb and it supports external memory cards. Bluetooth and USB connectivity of the device is ideal for quick exchange and synchronization of information.

The Sony Ericsson Z610i is surely a novel way to say hello to 3G.

My mom is always saying that she is too fat and short for clothes and that they just don’t make short fat people clothes. And she gets all depressing when she says this stuff.
So, what’s a clothing store for middle aged women with cute, but age appropriate clothes that would fit someone size 14 who is petite? Are there any good plus size stores that carry short clothes?
I’m in California by the way.
