What questions does it not answer? If you have one, then that just might be a worthy thread.

In all honesty, it answers most newbie's questions regarding the "industry" that are commonly asked much, much better than most posters in most threads have, and it debunks a lot of very, very common "industry" myths. Myths which many, many people on this forum seem to perpetuate regardless anyhow. I do really wish more people would read this and pay attention to it. It's a pretty good page.

Thank you Marko.... I did it to possibly help people out. Thank you for seeing that. big_smile

I'm confused as to why thestitchwitch is the last poster when the front page says that Fifi-Trix is.... and there's not a third page to look at?

edit: now it's showing her post??

a properly shapped carrot peeler can work wonders on that pesky internal fur... important to flush and vacuum afterward though, cause otherwise the damned stuff just takes root again.

I'm fascinated. we don't have a link to this most educational-sounding thread, do we?

Stop bumping this thread:  it's too damn full of common sense and logic for this website.  You're gonna tear the fabric of space-time and the singularity will kill us all.  Stop messing with the universe!

Bump and some info on taking your measurements.

TheStitchWitch wrote:
How to take your own measurements:

http://plussize.about.com/od/dressingfo … ements.htm

Its geared more for full figures but the same directions work for everyone.

Tips: Make sure your measuring tape stays level.

       The fullest part of your hips means around your butt.

       If at all possible, have someone else measure you rather than trying to
       measure yourself. It will be much more accurate.


On another note, if your are in my part of town, I am more than willing to take your measurements for you free of charge.  smile

- Should I Get This Tattoo?? OMG!! Will It Hurt My Career?? Well, yes...  The times are changing and people are accepting tattoos more and more these days.

This runs counter to recent messages from two of my clients that said they would no longer use spokesmodels with tattoos... Just fyi...
