Lane Bryant unveiled their new "revolutionary" (that word is not mine) denim yesterday; they've gotten rid of the old sizing system and old denim and have launched a new denim line based less on size and more on body type, which is how it should be, because not everyone has proportional hips and waists, ESPECIALLY at a store like Lane Bryant! I can totally understand how New Orleans is considered one of the fattest cities in the nation, when often my store is the busiest store in its entire wing, and there are so many different types of fat women out there.

In any case, I went from wearing a size 16 tall jean to, by the new system, wearing a size 2 red. The sizes now run from 1-10, instead of 14-28. The color type is very important as it determines what fit you wear, but I could care less about the color. Even though it doesn't mean I've lost any considerable amount of weight (though this time a year ago I was a size 18, almost a 20), it does make me feel better about buying jeans!

Speaking of pants, I believe I will snap if someone refers to any sort of pants as pantses, culottes (this isn't bad but it's certainly ghetto, especially when they refer to EVERY pair of pants that way), stripeded, peteek (instead of petite), scripey, or, my personal favorite, TURQUOSH.
