You know, being a female I can't really argue with you. You may very well be right. I just went with a gut feeling I had. Years of clothes shopping kinda gave me the idea about fashion being alot of the cause of the trend. When I was a kid in the 70's I was able to buy clothes in the regular sizes that fit me. Now my size is considered (large women) or should I be blunt - FAT LADY SIZES!. My size is a 14 but I am not a small boned woman and not a short woman either. So I don't look overweight and am not looked on as fat by people who see me. But according to the Fashion industry I AM OBESE!!! I could not find any reason for this turn around over the years except the dictates of gay Fashion designers with a hatred of the female body (hourglass figure). By their calculatons I should be a size 4-6. Now the only way I can be that size is if I decided to do bone reduction surgery because the width of my hip bones will not every let me get into a size 4.

Actually, Katy Jurado just passed away about 3 months ago. She still looked good.

sounds like you could have a lot of babies.

Raise the boys to be men and the girls to be women
who like to have babies.

Well I wouldn't worry about something you cannot change. As long as your healthy and normal for your size what else can you do? Be happy.
