You are far too old to be buying "Miss" patterns. Witness: Size 14 in miss is apparently "36 28 38" which is ridiculous. Never mind all wrong because most women have more difference between their waist and hip measurment!!

Don't worry, Tina - I am just making pants before I start on the dresses. I really, *really* don't want to fluff up on the dresses cause I'm out of practice. :wub:

In other news - I'M A MOTHERFUCKING MERMAID, BITCHES! I was SWIMMIN' WITH THE FISHES!

I went snorkelling the other day with my Dad. Oh my GOD. The water was still and the reef was full of life. I swum with a school of whitebait (they were like little silver darts!) and was just floating in blue! The most delicious blue you've ever seen! *swoons* And I dipped and saw whiting sweeping up into the whitebait shoal and getting some nibblies! XD Was so cool! And I swum over the reef and there was this crevass beneath me that the little fishies were swimming in against the current and catching sea crud. And little anemones on the rocks and - *SQUEALS* GOD it was so WONDERFUL. I wish I could live there, I really do. I could have stayed in it forever. You could tell the animals were loving the fine shiny weather. And the kelp and the seaweeds. :D *swoon* God. What a perfect day.

how cool you have such an amazing place to snorkel. sounds like it was amazing.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

It was! It's not like the Great Barrier reef or anything, it's much more brown and warm green and all the fish are either silver or brown. But it's still beautiful. All nature is beautiful. And it's wonderful to swim in it.

I have photos of me in the water (standing in it, no underwater shots unfortunately). I should get an underwater camera and get Dad to take a shot of me dipping down under the water by the reef. :D

still sounds beautiful there. I'd love to see some pictures, and underwater ones would be damn cool.

I just put some photos up of me in the water. Go have a squiz! (It's in a new post!)

I love snorkelling too. I really understand the wanting to stay underwater. I never got The Little Mermaid. Why would you want to be a stupid human, when you're a mermaid?

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Dude, I know, right? I always thought she was *such* a stupid bitch when I was a kid. I thought, "Damn, under the sea IS awesome!" And you have a tail and can sing and explore all day, and those mermen - rrrow! ;D

We should go snorkelling together some time, it would be so awesome! Have you been to the reef at North Cott? It's my special Mermaid spot! :D

Yeah whenever i'd watch it I'd secretly hope the ending would miraculously change. Weirdly enough, I watched the little mermaid two a while back when I was babysitting and Ariel's daughter wants to be a mermaid. Finally! Some sense!


No, I've only been snorkelling on Rotto and and the Yanchep Lagoon. I haven't done it for ages and I haven't got my own snorkel. :( I'd love to do it though, I just need to get the stuff for it.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Oh, I used to wish for the same thing! And I thought it was cool that Ariel's daughter wanted to be a mermaid. Sort of makes up for Ariel sodding off on her family for the sake of a root LOL. :D

I have a spare set if you'd like to go with me sometime! :D

[helen-jess.livejournal.com]

Cool! I'd love to. :) I'm moving house atm, but after that gets all sorted, I'd love to.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Cool! :D

Most women have more difference between their waist and hip measurements? From my experience, most women have a waist-hip ratio of between 0.75-0.80:1, and that pattern is a 0.75:1 ratio.

0.7:1 is meant to be "ideal" but not many women have it.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

You know, now that I think about it, you're right. Forget me.

I read online about the "ideal" ratio, and it's ridiculous. I think Linda Carter might have had it but she was ridiculously gorgeous.

women have more difference between their waist and hip measurment!!
I take umbrage at that.
Women are --- shapely, some have more curve than others, but 36-28-38 is not unreasonable.
calling it a size 14, however, is. Clothes sizing has become more and more ridiculous as time goes by .... hell, *I* am officially a 14.

where did you go snorkelling? I've been all over,er, around Rottnest which has some really pretty corals and fishes.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Just off North Cott. Nothing really flashy or fantastic, but I think it's beautiful in its own way. And I really needed to know what it looked like down there for my book.

Oh it sounds like you had a great time!
