The Little People monologues

Poppy’s Little People had an action-packed morning. They started their day with a shopping spree (I think) and ended with a party behind the recliner.

Welcome to Ash’s! Welcome to Target! Welcome to Penguin’s! Welcome to Grandpa and Poppy’s!

Would you like to go on your ride, farmer? Thanks. Thanks for coming home. I’ll be seeing you soon! Beep beep! Thank you for coming to my party! Bye bye, see you soon!

Clothes call

As I was watching “What Not to Wear” this evening, I wondered if there was a site online that would help someone of my (ahem) stature find something that would fit correctly and flatteringly. I do not enjoy shopping. I have odd proportions (short + round), and it’s hard to find anything that fits, much less looks nice. So I was excited to find MyShape, “an online store created for you.” The idea is that you take your measurements and input the numbers, and the site gives you a selection of clothes that will best fit you.

It took the site’s fashion gnomes about 30 seconds to discover a truth that I’ve known for some time: Nothing looks right on me. Except for one outfit. A pair of jeans from Seven7 and a “floral print top” from Just Living. Oh, or any of these.

Oh well. I guess I’ll just keep on not shopping.
