Dear Clothing Industry,
It has come to my attention that you actually have very little insight into the adult women and her clothing needs. Allow me to elborate:
First of all summer is here and its that time when we get to shed our winter skin of sweaters and coats in exchange for shorts t-shirts and tank tops. The season is great however not so great is what I like to call the crotch shorts. Now if your not sure what I mean by crotch shorts allow me to eleborate, crotch shorts are those that are so short and tiny they ride the crease of your thigh and are pretty much wedged up your bum. Another aluring feature of the CS is its shortness allows you to see all the bumps and lumps of leg cellute. The only people who should wear crotch shorts are those who are perhaps age 1-3 where its cute or those who have missed placed their underware and are wearing these under their clothes.
Take this short extreme to the other end and we have this seasons ever popular bermuda short. The bermuda short is that which comes to the middle of your leg. Its supposed claim to fame is that its a trendy way to make your legs look lean and long... however a not so attractive side effect is that while your legs look long your ass and hips look huge. I dont know if this short came from bermuda but I feel badly if this ugly piece of clothing was unfairly named after Im sure what is a lovely place.
Now we have the capris pant which by name is not a short. There are many different styles, some of which are not bad, however these again are pant like and not shorts only exposing ones ankle. How can you be cool and comfortable with a capris that is basically a pant that teases your ankles into believing they are free from pants?
So you may ask what then is the perfect short. Now clothing industry listen very carefully I will type it slowly: it is when the short sits comfortably between mid thigh and your knee. It is loose and offered in things like denium, kahaki, and various other styles. Is this so hard? Do we have to be dominated by bad style choices?
Lastly I would like to address the size issue Im not sure if your are aware that the average womens size ranges from 14-16, but when you go to the store there might be 1 or 2 of these and a far greater portion of really tiny sizes. 16 that is a far far stretch from size 0 or 1. I dont know how you can be a size 0 its basically saying your nothing there is no number attached to your size, therefore you must be invisible to the general population. Also xxs- it was bad enough when there was a xs now its xxs . Industry there is only 1 category of people that fits into this , we call them infants. So before I get off my soap box I will say this: we need to stop following the magizines and televisions that tell us we are not worthy of nice clothes if we dont wear a xxs or a size 0. I spend a great deal of my time feeling bad because I dont fit in the mold that the clothing industry says I should. However I like to be fashionable and pretty so to theose who make the clothes I suggest you take a good look at your demographics and stop mass producing clothes geared to the bodies and styles of 12 year old girls.
Im now going to go back to my pajamas shorts as they are the only decent things I have at this point in the heat. Thankyou for listening.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Cherie, Oh man, I laughed so hard at this blog. It's SO true!
I've been 'forced' to wear only capris...And friggers, it's HOT out there! Gosh, Can't us 'Average' women get a break!
Friggin' Clothes...Lets boycott them and walk around buck!! WOOHOOOO, Party at my place!!!!!!
Yet again, another good entry! I would like to take this rant one more step...tell me why EVERY pair of pants regardless of a woman's size has a HUGE gap at the back...the pant (or short) will fit perfectly everywhere else except for this huge gap at your lower back. WHO ARE THEY MAKING PANTS FOR????????? From your wee Scottish friend! :>
