Read of the Day

Susan Bordo, Empire of Images in Our World of Bodies.  Great read.

Where she mentions the absurdities of our clothing sizing system and the definition of the plus-sized body, I have one note.  TMI but necessary information. At 5'6", I weigh 130 lbs and I wear "plus-size" sports bras from Lane Bryan.  The message is that it is just flat out ridiculous; not only in its distinction as a clothing sizing category, but also our perception of what constitutes "plus-size."
