    Yes, every actress must be exactly the same as the parts they are cast in. Thats how they get the part! So obviously, since Hillary played a transgendered individual, she obviously must be a total tomboy, never shaves her legs and has never even looked at a skirt. (Oh wait, except for all those couture gowns she does her gardening in apparently) #marieclaire

    I liked it, but the slideshow was terrible. Shopping for jeans is a nightmare at any size because there are 5000 styles, cuts, and washes to choose from - that was just a list of 5 companies that make jeans. They didn't even recommend a particular style for any of the brands.

    FYI, I am partial to Old Navy Sweetheart jeans - they fit my hips and tush without gaping at the waist. And the back pockets are well-placed. #biggirlinskinnyworld

    what annoys me is that she has to do a height and weight check. why? she's plus size. we get that she's not a size zero. why go there? it just feeds into all of the baloney. #biggirlinskinnyworld

    @rednrowdy: Nah. It's useful in two ways:

    1.) Believe it or not, we plus sized dames aren't all shaped the same way.

    2.) Owning those digits = awesome. Years of lying about, re-calculating or generally avoiding those oh-so-embarrasing-always-too-high... numbers on the scale is beyond wonderful.

    It's as or more awesome as the Illustrated BMI stuff here: [kateharding.net] #biggirlinskinnyworld

    @MrsAbraxas: i'm plus size myself and am acutely aware of the differences in sizes among all sizes of women, but around here i've seen lots of people putting their height and weight and it can be a trigger for other stuff.

    i feel like it would have been better to post her actual dress size rather than her height and weight, but that's just me. #biggirlinskinnyworld

    @rednrowdy: But dress sizes fluctuate widely depending on the brand. Depending on who makes a pair of pants, for example, I wear anywhere from a size 2 (talk about vanity sizing!) to a size 8. Expressing size in terms of measurements is much less ambiguous. And if the point is to own one's body and take pride in it, isn't it better to say "Damn right, I'm 5'2" and 220 pounds" than to say "I wear a size [whatever]" and have everybody debating over what a size [whatever] "really" looks like? #biggirlinskinnyworld

    @Lexica: @Jilder: @chantal_sassy000:

    i work part time as a plus size fit model. anything over a 'straight' size 12 is plus size, and even that depends on the brand and where the brand's size measurements lie. certain brands will use a plus size fit model that has thinner arms, for instance, or a fuller bust and waist, and because the clothes are made to that model, all the measurements for sizes come from the fit models original measurements. two inch increase on the hips for a size 20, etc.

    as the market dictates today, a woman who wears a size 18 is plus size. there is a difference in the sizing between a size 18 and a size 18W (it's usually give or take an inch) but from the market's perspective, an 18 is plus size with or without the W next to it. #biggirlinskinnyworld

    "but her column seems more practical than celebratory when it comes to the transformative power of fashion."

    Personally, I think practical advice - for plus-size women, skinny women, basically anyone - would be a nice thing in fashion mags. It seems to be largely nonexistent most of the time. #biggirlinskinnyworld

    @Tara Incognita: I was trying on boots in NZ when a woman sidled up to me and whispered the Duo tip, while showing me the Duo boots she was wearing. I'd never heard of them while living in the UK, but I'm so glad she told me. They are AWESOME, and now I buy boots from Duo regularly.

    My only caveat would be that the ankle circumference differs between styles, so it's worth writing the sales team and saying "I love my x boots, what other styles have the same ankle fit?" They'll be straight-up with you. #biggirlinskinnyworld

    My solution to the "thigh problem" in high school was to actually cut the jeans across the back of my legs from the thigh-hole and then sew some flannel to the inside as a backing.

    I was very klassy in high school.
