I'm still waiting to see if an equilibrium is still being found, but if the clothes I wear when I was a smoker go out of style before they fit I won't keep any trophies.

My main complaint is that shotokan karate, cycling and hill walking have given me muscular thighs that are utterly unsuited to the currently prevailing cut of jeans. Though I recently discovered, to my chagrin, that one brand will fit, one I despise for the emptiness of their near pure branding culture and piggy-backing on hip-hop popularity. Dammit, bring back late 80's wranglers instead.Thriftcriminalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05067935732217300979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-22486880592657517592010-01-04T09:05:34.816+00:002010-01-04T09:05:34.816+00:00Suburbia - Absolutely, you know deep-down you'...Suburbia - Absolutely, you know deep-down you'll probably never lose the pounds, but it's such a fabulous dress....<br /><br />I can tell you, those jeans were a public outrage!<br /><br />Leah - Ah yes, earth mother rather than frantically dieting wannabe.
