I thought Darcy's first name was Mr. :-p

I believe Renee whatsit went up to a British size 14, or something...not exactly huuuge...

Up? That shouldn't be allowed...

Dante, you beat me to it.

36D / DD is about normal these days, 14/16 below. But the spread of sizes is tremendous, and there are far more women in size 20+ than in size 10.

The original BJD 'big pants' were made by Charnos, and are no longer available, as they had a reappraisal after they were taken over.

I went from a hip-heavy size 12 to a far better proportioned size 16, and this is just where I want to stay - it suits me perfectly! (Note for Americans: that's about a size 12 on your scale. I don't know what it is in Oz.)

It does suit her, too. Sarah has long legs and an elegant figure, as the other fforumites who've met her will know.









< That's half a pound of Thornton's please, Sarah :) >

Hehehehe... I expect you could help me to do some chocolate tasting when my next selection arrives! :-)

Don't forget I've paid for "Darrow's Law", by the way. (Thought I'd better stick that in while I thought of it.)

I''m not entirely sure, but I think the American 12 is an Australian 14. Or it may be an australian 10. It either goes up one size, or down a size.

There, glad we've cleared that up. (NOT)

OK... strictly in the interests of international comparison, you understand... I'm 39-30-40, and that's almost exactly a British size 16 (except that a size 16 would normally be 38 on top, she adds smugly).

So what would that be in Oz?

Sarah

Ummm... let me get the tape measure...

OK I'm 39 -30-39 so we're the same size, and I'm a size 10 in most things (occassinally size 12). So that's the comparison. British 16 would be Aussie 10.

Blimey! If I ever here of a super-model being a British 10 I'll worry about them even more!

Ah, you'd never hear of a British supermodel being a size 10. They're all size 6, maybe 8 at a push. Seriously.

Yes... and rather them than me, too! I've been skinny, didn't like it. I'm happy with my curves. :-)

I never bothered doing 'skinny' - I discovered that my body wants to stay this size despite any efforts to the contrary (I do lots of exercise, I pig out over Christmas, I eat less because its too hot - I still stay the same weight!). It's far better to eat that chocolate bar - you never know what will happen tomorrow, and it's much nice to know you've enjoyed yourself rather than forcing down chunks of lettuce wishing you could have a cake!



I drink to drown my sorrows. Unfortunately they've learnt how to swim.

I tried skinny, but I didn't like the hunger pangs.

My curves and cuddliness are so much more satisfying. For me anyway.

News item on the radio today: the World Wife Throwing Championships are currently being held in Finland. Tried to think of any married couples I know who might stand a chance, and could only think of Steve and Helen. Most of my married female friends seem to be luxury sized - and were when they got married :)

Adam and Sarah aren't married but I reckon they'd stand a much better chance if she threw him. He's 5'7" and she's 6'3".

And it's much better for womens Lib that way, too.

I simply wouldn't marry a man who was prepared to throw me!

However, it could make 'carrying your wife over the threshold' redundant....
