Daily Mail... the cure for what ails you, and the ailment too

The Daily Mail is a London tabloid, and I always get sucked into their online site. On one hand they constantly post stories about the looks/weight of British stars, and on the other hand they're the first to publish "love yourself as you are!" type stories. (And then they publish just totally weird stories, like the soldier who died of cancer from the transplanted lungs of a chain smoker!)

Here's an example. Today we've got "Kelly Osbourne's lost weight and finally looks good!"...
With her glowing skin and toned figure, Kelly, who has battled with her weight in the past, was looking better than she has done in years.

...alongside "Carol Vordeman accepts her big ass!"
I believe that as you get older, you become less concerned about looks. I see far too many young women fretting about their imperfections, not knowing what delights nature will thrust upon them as the mileometer clicks on.

The fact that Dov Charney is such an cretin really irritates me.

AA doesn't have a lot of plus-size friendly stuff but several of their shirts and skirts will actually fit my size 22 ass, the colors stay vivid for a long damn time, and they don't stretch out of shape.

This annoys me because I don't want to give the asshole any more of my money, but at the same time the clothes are so awesome and not made in sweatshops. Argh!! How do you find non-sweatshop, non-sexist asshole clothing?

I'm older, but I still care! Though I'm not going to deny myself a treat like I did when I was young. My husband made an apple pie the other day. Yum.
