What Would Petite Shoppers Do Without It?

I'm referring, of course, to the internet. While still not the same as actually touching, feeling, seeing and, yeah, even sometimes smelling (you know you've done it) an item of clothing in person (and on your body), the internet is a savior for the smaller-framed girl.

It allowed me to get that Disney t-shirt I

was lamenting about....and will allow you to learn a little bit more about me, Half-Pint. The t-shirt is this:

This shirt would probably be considered SO lame, except that it fits so well with what I do in life (besides searching for cute clothes!). I teach sixth grade. Now read the shirt again. Yeah, that's me. So I found the shirt online, realized it is sold at Newbury Comics, and although I haven't set foot in a Newbury Comics since my teenybopper days, I now am the proud owner of a size S of this little tshirt!

So thanks, internet, for saving me from the "they don't have it in my size" blues. Now I have to get back to some grading...

Disney Is for Kids?

I'm writing this blog post quickly from Disney World in Florida. I have only a few minutes before we rush off to Epcot.

So we all know, Disney is for kids. I could probably write several blog posts about all the fun things there are to do for adults, but what I wanted to write about (complain about) today is the retail clothing!

They have several very cool, vintage-y t-shirts for sale in one of the Magic Kingdom boutiques. I was excited to find at least three different styles I liked....only to have the familiar, sinking feeling of shifting through the sizes. M. M. M. L. L. XL. XXL. No S. No smalls. Being used to this phenomenon, I tracked down a salesperson to inquire if they had anymore 'in the back'. Before the question was out of my mouth, she curtly repiled, "No, we don't have anymore smalls."

Disney dreams, crushed. I probably should thank Disney for saving me the $35 or whatever ridiculous amount they were going to (over)charge me for the t-shirt. But still, I wish I had the option to waste my money just like the larger folk....

I'm off to Epcot! Maybe they'll have a 'Figment' t-shirt in size S. Hey, it's Disney. A girl can dream...
