Aren't you feeling a might peckish?

So it was pointed out to me that perhaps some people will not understand one of my previous posts. I am a woman of larger proportions, a "Plus Size" gal if you must.

I was out yesterday with my 2nd son Wyatt, and my daughter Charleigh Joe shopping . My accompanying son ask me if I was feeling a bit peckish, I laughed on the inside because I wonder how many people know that word......and of those who do, use it. Only the son of a BBW would ever make that statement.

I went in to our local Maurices (Cookeville) as this is really the only place any woman of size and under 60 can purchase anything stylish in my area. I spoke with the manager  of the lack of larger sizes in stock and she was very nice and explained to me that corporate is the one who regulates their par levels of what they get. If a larger size is  consistently being ordered, they will increase the par level of that size.

On behalf of every BBW, I ordered. I encourage all my fellow BBW to do the same so that we can get a larger selection of clothing, NO WOMAN SHOULD HAVE TO WEAR A WINNIE THE POOH SHIRT, EVER!

If you're not a BBW, let me tell you about our options, there is always the 3 staple t-shirts (Winnie the Pooh with his hand in the honey pot and the traditional bird house or the rare find the cat playing with a ball of yarn).I believe they are age coordinated and surely you can understand which is for the younger generation and the older generation.....but, never mind.

I REFUSE TO DRESS LIKE AN OLD LADY OR THE CAT LADY, I'll wear a uniform everywhere and act like I'm on call before I do that.  Oh, and trying to find something to wear to a funeral or wedding? FORGET IT, you are screwed unless you can borrow a piece from another to mix and match your outfit.

I know what you're thinking, why do you care about what you wear to a funeral or a wedding, right? Let me break it down for you (obviously thin people). All of the attention should be to the bride. Correct,  but that same bride will eventually look at pictures and realize she had the local cover band for Duck Dynasty at her wedding. As for the funeral, out of respect for the dead I don't think a Winnie the Pooh t-shirt is appropriate to send someone to their eternal home in.

 I don't understand why this is such a big deal. I think it should even itself out at some point but fuck, its still going on. Why must I have to search to find fashionable wear when the population under a size 14 practically have clothes running towards them jumping into their baskets. A recent study has found that the majority of women in America are a size 14 or larger, I agree with these findings. I don't know why the larger retail (not Walmart) don't understand that younger plus size women want to dress stylish as well.

As for me, I'm sticking with Maurices, who has consistently done me well, and their manager is so nice and helpful with my plight.

Don't even get me started on the search for my insides or lingerie as you may call them. Navy Seals team 6 couldn't find decent lingerie in my size locally or even with extensive search online. Only the savvy BBW knows where to go online for that. Otherwise, you'd have a drawer full of white, all cotton granny panties that come up OVER my boobs or loose lacy crotchless panties only in true red or black, because that looks great with my skin tone and cellulite.....


I guess its something that is a slow process, but it seems slower than waiting for that HOT sign to come on at the Krispy Kreme. Writing this blog seems to have left me a bit peckish....
