The Size Issue

Dear Diary,

I have been told I am a small person, and while I would like to think I am of average size, apparently some parts of me are indeed small. Last summer I had the unpleasant experience of bra shopping. I went to a local store only to find that the only bras the store carried in my size were covered with Hannah Montana's face! Now I realize I am not the chestiest person (okay I am not chesty at all but that is not my point). My point is that I find it absolutely absurd for Hannah Montana to be on any underwear period. Woman's underwear should be for women, not for teeny boppers hitting early puberty. Needless to say I was irate, had a small spat with the underwear hanger, and immediately left the store. As I recall I went straight to the gym to work out my new found hatred of Hannah Montana.

I thought my small size issue was limited to undergarments. And I was willing to accept this. Okay willing and acceptance are a stretch. How about I was going to tolerate the existence of said awful bras in the world since I did not find anything remotely as heinous at VS. To my unfortunate surprise, the sizing issue also extends to garden gloves. Now this might seem trivial but I assure you, it is not. You can not go pulling weeds or moving bricks if your gloves fall off. So I cruised my local hardware store for a new pair of gloves. Woman's gloves come as a one size fits all and extra large. Now what little old granny do you know that has man hands?! The option for small, the ONLY option, was Dora the Explorer. Don't get me wrong, these are very cute gloves if you are four or five. But I am not. I do not think it is too much to ask for a non-character option to be offered in the smaller sized items.

The only way this situation could get worse is if I found Miley Cyrus on my beers!
