[Jamaican Shawty]

Well the otha day i was hangin out wit my homegurls and some dudes at my friends crib and the weird subject of jean sizes came up and one of my friends stated " If any girl is over a size 8 she overly thick and needs to get down" overly thick = chubby and the other statement that size 12 is plus size i totally disagree cuz I'm a size 10 and thick but not chubby at the least but thick i think anthing over a size 16 plus size but newayz tell me wat yall think and the sizes yall range for plus size or overly thick....

...ok....


The original average size for a female was in fact a size 16...that was AVERAGE.......now after years of health nuts bringing more attention to the "obesity" situation in our country a conspiracy began and the fashion industry was in on it.....so they switched down to a size 14........14 is the average size.....but now....due to the same conspiracy which lead to the switching from a 16 to a 14.....the plus size actually starts at a size 12 now...


im just kiddin about the whole conspiracy thing......but...the sizes are true...16 was the original average/ beginning of plus size.....until they switched down to a 14.....now a 14 is considered the Average size but they consider a size 12...(which is ridiculous) the beginnings of plus size....

however....companies that produce plus size clothing and such have raised the bar and most of them have stopped carrying a size 12 in their stores with the belief that a size 12 is not plus size...which i agree....

Part of it depends on how tall you are... A 5'1" woman that's a size 8 is pretty thick. A 5'11" woman that's a size 8 is pretty thin.

your height does make a difference...

but even a 5'1 woman in a size 8...thats not overly thick....

I agree that height has everything to do with it but i wanted to see wat yalls perspective on it....im 5'9 and a size 10/11 and im thick not overly thick as one of my associatives said but i think now when ur 5'4 and down and a size 16 and up thats a lil bit too much.....but thats jus my input

P.s not to change the subject but have yall noticed gap jeans and tommy jeans and all other mostly white worn jeans dont fit right on us women pleasantly blessed with hips and a nice ass...wonder why
