And why on earth does it matter to someone who is obviously wanting to read your blog what size you do or dont wear?!. Haters are going to hate and be jerks. And size doesn't matter when you are an asshole who likes to break others down- they come in all sizes!! Someone with class would never post such a rude thing like the comment you mentioned.

I just wanted to say that I LOVE the fact that you let us know what size you got. It helps me decide what size I should get. I never once thought that you were bragging.

Most of my clothes are size 8, but some pieces in my wardrobe are sizes 4, 6, 10, 12, all of them fit. I think that's vanity sizing.<br />I don't go around telling people about my size 2 dress, because I certainly don't look that small.Tinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-25278563022230172462012-08-05T05:03:23.272-04:002012-08-05T05:03:23.272-04:00LOL!

Way to go, gal!!!!<br /><br /><br />Sometimes photos do not do justice to a real person, that is why we have this word 'photogenic'! There are people who look prettier on photos, and others who are the opposite. This is not reflective of their actual looks.<br /><br /><br />Similarly for sizes. I am size 4 to 6, weighing 115 lbs. I thought that should be pretty ok, but hey! I look fat in most of my photos!!! Big mommy hips, big flabby arms, you name it. LOL! It took me awhile before I realized that people are built differently even if they are same size! A 5 ft 10" size 6 compared to a 5 ft 2 " size 6 look different even in same clothes. The size of shoulder, width of ribcage, whether we are rounder in the front and back or wider on the side even if we all have 38" hips make a big difference to how we look. <br /><br /><br />I can understand your need to get back at haters, cos I will do that too. If people can be mean to us, we can be bitchy too.Minnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-10092467840792069612012-08-04T13:41:02.077-04:002012-08-04T13:41:02.077-04:00I think I know who you're talking about.

I and several others have been turned off her blog because of her heavy handedess in moderating and controlling comments on her blog.

I always wear a 0/2 in Anthro and the rest and usually a 4/6 in designer. I do find designer sizing to be more accurate when I reference actual measurements. You'd most likely be a 10-12 in designer clothes, but a 6/8 in Anthro sounds about right. I don't have nearly the same size chest as you but wear a medium in designer shirts, so a Small in Anthro is definitely not TTS. Makes shopping hard when sizes are all over the place.Nycfashionindustrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-232109886459019982012-07-31T21:15:50.027-04:002012-07-31T21:15:50.027-04:00ps - I love those shoes!ps - I love those shoes!Jennifer Sanzohttp://twitter.com/jennysanzonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-70173401116111817532012-07-31T21:13:35.288-04:002012-07-31T21:13:35.288-04:00ok a few things...

I didn't even notice that was your middle finger until I read the comments - then I went back and looked at it and cracked up. (Hey i think its funny)<br />3. Lots of websites let you know what size the model wears and how tall she is so you know what size to order - so I don't understand the big deal with sizing.<br />4. I also wear an anthro small (last two dresses I bought there are 4s) but others are an 8 - whooooo caaaaaares?<br /><br /><br />I think thats all - it just never ceases to amaze me the time people invest in tearing other people down... sad.Jennifer Sanzohttp://twitter.com/jennysanzonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-27310487497445007202012-07-30T19:33:01.864-04:002012-07-30T19:33:01.864-04:00LOL!LOL!Bonnie Irelandhttp://stfashionista.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-19069486371886177272012-07-30T19:32:42.747-04:002012-07-30T19:32:42.747-04:00I hear you, and will work on my actions and reacti...I hear you, and will work on my actions and reactions going forward.Bonnie Irelandhttp://stfashionista.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-88482944121388465122012-07-30T19:30:36.138-04:002012-07-30T19:30:36.138-04:00I stand by this post and my picture.

Beyoncé is in Ibiza, wearing a stomach necklace, walking hand in hand with her hot boyfriend. She’s going on the yacht and having a mimosa. She’s not reading shitty comments about herself on the Internet, and we shouldn’t either. I just think, Would Beyoncé be reading this? No, she would just delete it or somebody would delete it for her. What I really need to do is close the computer and then talk back to that voice and say, Fuck you. I don’t give a shit what you think. I’m Beyoncé. I’m going to Ibiza with Jay-Z now, fuck off. Being criticized is part of the job, but seeking it out isn’t. That’s our piece to let go."<br />(source: http://bombsite.com/issues/1000/articles/6583)<br />I especially loved, "Being criticized is part of the job, but seeking it out isn't."<br />WWBD? haha.JewishGirlhttp://www.stuffjewishgirlslike.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-91202964356389545872012-07-28T01:39:24.866-04:002012-07-28T01:39:24.866-04:00I think it's sad that the previous post you di...I think it's sad that the previous post you did which included beautiful pics of your children is followed by this one of you giving the finger.

I suppose it would help if you pointed out a shoe that runs particularly large or small though.<br /><br />Oh, and the person who posted about you "lying about your size"? Who the heck has time to sit and think about this stuff, let alone post hateful messages about others?
