    You know, My fat ass is wearing a lovely wrap dress today and I am feeling very hourglassy.

    I am also wearing sexy patterned tights and high heels and managed to pull my uncontrolable hair into a purty cascade.

    I got a couple good looks on the subway.

    That's all I got. #bodyshapes

    Well, as a member of team-tube, I can say that many clothing lines are NOT designed for our body type. Good luck finding a pair of pants that is not too baggy on your small hips while making your waist-that-is-the-same-measurement... look large. And any style of dress that's supposed to be cut flowy and fall straight down? I look like a walking rectangle. Awesome. #bodyshapes

    @bluetrain84: Ha! See to me, as a member of team hourglass, it seems the complete opposite!

    Skirts that if large enough to fit nicely around my hips, have a good 4 inch gap at the waist that just kind of hangs there and looks like crap if I tuck a shirt into it...

    Grass is greener, I guess, or we're at extremes of some in-between average that clothes are made in? #bodyshapes

    so, basically, we continue to want to look like we somehow avoided puberty?

    The language used above---"aspire" is funny...really, aspiring to a body shape is an exercise in futility. You can gain/lose weight but you are going to have the body type you were destined to have, just with larger or smaller measurements. Aspiration is useless. #bodyshapes

    @lucystrawberry: Tier 2 is the new black: "Aspiration is useless." I picture a deadpan German nihlist putting this on a t-shirt and sitting in stone-faced judgment of others and, madamoiselle, it is a thing of beauty. I also dream of painting this phrase in my child's nursery in fanciful, mural-style writing.

    well this explains the modern fit of most clothing. however there is no way my body would ever, ever look like some sort of cylinder. sorry, hourglass haters. even when I gain or lose weight it still keeps the same shape. is this a curse now? should I be hating my body even more?? wait! I need to find the latest Cosmo! #bodyshapes

    @bluewine: THIS! I was complaining to my boyfriend (who loves everything about my body) one day about how all clothes seem designed to hide women's body shapes, and he said, "So you mean to say, you look best naked? I can live with that." As fun as that would be, it is annoying having to hit 10 different stores to put together ONE flattering outfit. #bodyshapes

    @BrutallyHonestBabes (aka Mrs. Sarah.of.a.Lesser.Hobbit): Heh. I figured that would be the case for most people. But, I mean, it makes sense right? Men like timepiece-shaped bodies because it reflects that a woman is not only fertile, but punctual, and will have your dinner on the table on time. It's evolution, really. #bodyshapes
