is that acceptable? or do i have to go back to what i've always (stupidly) done in canada, and completely done without the coat in favor of freezing my butt off (which i'm sure would greatly help many people as a weight loss scheme)and catching varying degrees of pneumonia by the following weekend. <BR/>so, shosh, it's good to have a mom & pop tush, but self-defeating to pair it with a super-size parka.bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146699715760197131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564064.post-1136940178299976832006-01-10T19:42:00.000-05:002006-01-10T19:42:00.000-05:00and here's another one. in the winter, it doesn't ...and here's another one. in the winter, it doesn't make sense to go into the smaller cafes, especially if you're dressed for warmth. <BR/>let me explain....<BR/>if you are larger than a size 2 and you're wearing a down jacket that covers your tush, regardless of it not being fashionable (the coat, not the tush) it is almost impossible to walk more than two feet past the door inside of a cafe, especially in manhattan, where space is severely limited, and the tables and chairs are TINY. then, once your size six body is in the chair and the parka is on the back of the chair, it is a given that said parka will inevitably fall off of the chair, get trampled, OR that five people of assorted genders will come in and not be able to pass by and then make snide remarks under their breath about your coat which you purchased solely to keep warm, without a care as to how NOT cool it is.<BR/>i'll admit that i'm of eclectic style, thought, and attitude, but the truth is, my coat is really not cool, and really big.<BR/>starbucks can accomodate my coat, but i'll just stay home, thank you.bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146699715760197131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564064.post-1136932493050213172006-01-10T17:34:00.000-05:002006-01-10T17:34:00.000-05:00no...notquite.
