Other - Beauty & Style - January 2007

I am a larger woman and when I go to the mall to buy clothes for myself, all the clothes that fit my bust don't fit any where else. I have had to take so-called ready-to-wear clothing home to do alterations to make it fit me properly.

Usually, I have to take the waist in because it is entirely too big and fits me like a tent. I am 6 foot tall, wide (not broad) shouldered, and I have a larger bust line than most women. However, I have a small waist and am considered by my friends to be very curvy for a woman.

Why do they assume that just because you are a large woman, you are also short and fat? What about tall women like me with a somewhat athletic build? I am not short and fat- I am tall and relatively thin.

For instance, I wear a size 16 women's jeans, but I have to get a L or XL top to fit me and tuck it in at the waist to keep it from looking so blousy. (blouse-like).

Does anybody know of good online stores that address this issue?

I mean beautiful women like Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Donna Mills, and even this beautiful blondie that comes in the "Your question has recieved an answer" thing at your email when your question at Yahoo! answers gets a reply ?!

Is it Britain, Holland, Sweden, or what? What about America and Canada? Are those girl look-alikes found there in a large percentage?

Help! Please! This is really very important to me!

This may sound really strange to most of you people, but my eyelashes have a tendency to stick together in the corners of my eyes. It's like, the top lashes get stuck on the bottom lashes, so I sit there and rub my eyes (which, I know is horrible) which then makes them turn under and go in my eyes!

It may sound silly, but really, it's a terrible problem for me right now. I hate touching my eyes all day, but if I don't unstick my lashes, then I can't really see well.

If anyone has any ideas as to how I might be able to prevent this, please, please share.

i have had awful acne on my face, back, and chest since sixth grade (two years). i've tried everything and i'm on two prescriptions from the dermatologist, but it hardly helps. i wash my face twice a day but my skin is so oily. does anyone know any good facial masks or scrubs or anything? or just ways i can feel better about myself? i hate hiding under makeup every day, so don't suggest makeup, as i already wear it just to survive middle school.

I use those Biore pore strips on my nose, but when I pull them off, the strip comes off but leaves a thick sticky paste on my nose and just covers my pores instead of pulling all the dirt out. How do I make those pore strips work, I follow the directions, but it dont work.

This year, my New Year's resolution was to stop biting my nails for good. I've tried lotions, nail polish, etc. I find myself biting when I'm bored, and once I get started, it's hard to stop. Any ideas how I can quit?

Well people sometimes call me "albino" which really annoys me...well I am pretty pale I guess but I dont really tan

Well I would like to surprise people next year and start keeping up with a tan if possible, a dark one but I know Ill never be REALLY dark

I would like one somewhat dark to cover up the few but somewhat freckles but thats not the deal, I dont know what times I should start out with using beds and what lotions I should use

Should I start out with bed cause wont that start the tan then outside would make it darker so its not "orange" or is that possible with my color? I also have blonde hair but hope to somewhat change the color a little bit....let me know what you think

Maybe Ill never be dark due to health risks but is there anyway to get a little color, use a smaller SPF out in the sun when I tan and stay out shorter, then after a little color is established see what goes from there
