I've made more bad decisions at 3 in the morning then I can list!
I don't know if people have gotten ruder or if my tolerance level has declined.
The fashion industry at large has been the worst public relations vehicle for larger women and petite women, they are both maligned and neglected. And I honestly do believe it's getting better.
