I think it's worse to pretend like you have $300 to drop on a purse.

I have the money, but there are actually some well-made knockoffs. You have to be extremely picky, obviously.

why would someone want to buy a knockoff though?

to pretend like they spent that much on a purse.
even if someone has the cash, it doesnt deter from the fact...you are trying to signal that you spent hella cash on a bag, which you didn't.


tacky.

I have seen many knock offs, and I have never ever ever seen one that compares to the quality/look/feel of the original.

Wait, don't you have fake boobs? Nothing wrong with that, but I think it's a similar argument. What's the difference between fake boobs and a fake bag?

I think begonias and joie are both pretty cool chicks. We just disagree on this particular issue.

It's extremely divisive, obviously.

So, my date is at 8. Wine bar. What to wear?

I have a cute little black dress from Express that has sequins along the neckline.

There's also a long, black tube dress from Vickie's.

Or my tight Lucky jeans with a dressy black tank and wedge heels.

Not too small. I'm 5'7" and wear from a 0 to a 4 depending on the brand.

The average american woman is a size 14. If you think a 0-4 and 5'7 isn't TINY then you have a skewed view of sizes.


1) What do you wear on a first date?
(a) Dinner/Drinks - Black pants, heels, top with some sparkle.
(b) Activity Date--i.e., bowling, mini-golf, Gatorland - Dark jeans, fitted, rainbows or sandals, light weight top from Target maybe?
(c) Casual Encounters from Craigslist Excursion - Not sure.

What do you like your date to wear on a first date?
(a) Dinner/Drinks - Some stylish jeans, dark or faded, Sneaks or dress shoes, button down.
(b) Activity Date--i.e., bowling, mini-golf, Gatorland - Flip flops if they don't have nasty feet and sneaks if they do. Regular jeans and a decorated tee or polo.
(c) Casual Encounters from Craigslist Excursion - Not sure.

I LOVE jeans bc they're so comfy, but I'm in Florida, thus I tend to gravitate toward dresses in the summer.

Especially because I may get nervous and start sweating. So, little black dress it is!

I said I wasn't tiny bc 5'7" is taller than the average American woman.

Average woman is 5'4. I don't think 5'7 is that much bigger but perhaps that is because I am 5'6 and I see myself as pretty average height.

As far as sizes, you are a small girl.

I never feel tiny bc most of my friends in Florida are about 5 foot even. And they shop in the kids' department.

The girls in Raleigh seem taller on average, somehow.

haha cattiness (i cant believe that is really a word, i thought i was making it up before firefox corrected my spelling) on page 2!

but i just replied to respond to this

the average american woman, much like the average american man, is also fat. if you took out all the severely overweight people your number would prob come down. lucy may still qualify as "teeny" (although 5'7" is pretty average for a woman, too right, and w/out the data skewing) but it doesnt seem that being significantly below the american average is enough evidence for that.

for example, i am 6'4 and very ectomorph in most cases, but i go through long lazy phases and generally dont eat all that well (although, again, compared to the average american i'm a health nut) which has resulted in a permanent pot belly (better now than it used to be, havent been in a lazy phase in a while) but b/c i'm not a giant, i cant describe myself as fat and people are surprised when i am doing cardio and saying i want to lose weight. i should have the right to call myself fat w/out being compared to 500 lbers!

/end pointless stupid inflammatory rant

it is sad that this is average, and ones perspective on size should not be varied due to everyone elses fat rolls.

i wasnt really saying that 14 is that big, just that the number would be lower if it wasnt skewed by the large part of the population that would be considered outliers in other parts of the world.

The date was fun, but we talked business the whole time. Totally not my type.

So, cute dress wasted on nothing. Thank god I have another date tomorrow. Will recycle the dress!

And I do think vanity sizing makes it difficult for us to accurately describe clothing sizes.

If you want to argue that point, look at the BMI. Someone who is 5'7 should weigh at a minimum 120 lbs. A size zero can be anywhere from a 90 to a 105 lb person, depending on the brand. She said she was a size 0-4...A size 4 on average weighs between 115-125 lbs.

So even with that arguement, she's on the lesser side of a healthy range and upper side of underweight. It has nothing to do with fatties skewing the average upward....but in a room of "normal fat people" lucyinthesky would be tiny. No one said it was a bad thing. Stop trying to create drama.

People are fat. People are unhealthy. They will get sick and die and you will pay their medical bills. By the way, incase noone clued us in, life sucks.

Glad your date was nice, even if it wasn't a match. Better luck tomorrow!

we took a class together once and he spent the whole time talking about how much he could benchpress and when we said "ok show us" he was all like "lol did you guys see grey's anatomy last night"

Goldfish shoes are a must! He wants to go dancing--and he was born in the 70s--so goldfish shoes will wow him, for sure. Perhaps I can do the Farrah hairdo. Too soon?

^^^^^^ And BMI is a guideline, but it's not a true indicator of health. Body fat percentage is a better indicator. I'm 15.5%(measured yesterday by my trainer), which is low for a girl, but it's still very healthy. I just play a lot of sports.
