I hope this is okay. I’m sure someone will let me know if it is not. 😀
As I’ve mentioned a few times in a few other threads, I’m closing my Ebay store on May 1st. This is my Ebay store only. Not my website/convention business. I will no longer be selling clothes, shoes, books, etc. The problem I have is that I have all of the stuff sitting here in my house, and it needs to go. This is where you can help me. Please look at my Ebay store listings and see if you would like anything out there. I’m taking any reasonable best offer. Some of the things have minimum offers, so if your offer is rejected outright, PM or email me and we can discuss it.
Here is the link:

I will combine for lower shipping fees if you pay in one payment (I’ll send an invoice). I will also ship international. Any help would be great. Thanks.
I used to be tiny and gained weight. 😳 A lot of those are from my closet.
And the larger sizes sell better. 😆

I have certainly been there!!!! My whole body morphed after having babies!!! 😆 😆 There is NO way I’d fit into my pre-preggers clothing now!

It’s mostly women’s clothing and shoes. There are some Beanie Babies and Boyd’s Bears too.

Yeah, the most frustrating thing about being a larger woman is that all the cute clothes are made for clotheshangers. I really loathe people who are a size 2! How can you be a real woman if you are a twig?
I see those commercials about losing weight where this woman is moaning about being a size 12, and dropped to a size 2…hell, I’d be extremely happy to be a bloody size 12! I sure as heck wouldn’t be whining about it and thinking I had to get to Twiggy size from there!
My goal is to get to a 12 or 14, that would really be an ideal size for me, but getting there is the hard part. Any thinner and my husband would disown me…he likes fluff.

Sorry Emerald, I’m a “fluff” girl too! I agree with you Kyrin, women should have meat on theri bones, and real men love it! I would also get disowned, my Hubby yells if I drop 5 pounds, he’s always feeding me! (Don’t get me wrong, I’m not HUGE, just really curvy!)Kyrin wrote:emerald212 wrote:I used to be tiny and gained weight. 😳 A lot of those are from my closet.

I’m a size 2-4 depending on the fit and style… I genuinely hope I’m a real woman! 😆
My weight is health related though. I eat very well and do not diet.

My art: featherdust.comJust to clarify on some sizes, the Weekenders small size fits up to a size 8, they are not for sizes 2-4. I think the XS’s fit that though.
I’m about a size 8-10, but need to lose it for health reasons (Diabetes II runs in my maternal family). I should be a 6-8 to stay healthy.
That’s true, I guess I was a little insensitive on that comment 😳 Of course real women come in many shapes and sizes, it’s just years of ridicule for being not skinny that reared it’s ugly head there. My best friend is actually a size 0 (I never understood that) but even she makes me feel inadequate as a woman. I guess it’s just the negativity associated with women who are not supermodel thin. Sorry If I offended any one! I didn’t mean to! 😳 😀

Comment wasn’t directed at anyone who actually happened to be a size 2 or thereabouts, it is really directed at society as a whole who disparages the larger person as not healthy, lazy, not attractive or sexy, etc based on their appearance.
It’s an example of how bigger people are viewed by society as a whole.
If I had said “How can you be a real woman if you are a tree?” Would anyone have said anything? If so, would they have defended the position, or argued against it? My bet, most people will support that a thinner person is a better person, because that is what our society teaches.
Think about it, how many TV shows, movies or even commercials show a larger person in a positve way? Not a joke, or clown, or loser? How many?
I also suggest counting the number of weight loss ads seen on TV and on the net, how many lose 30 lbs in 3 days spam emails do you get a week? How many of us see a really large person in a McDonalds and think, “God, I hope I never get that big?” (I admit, I too am guilty of this thought.)
We’re bombarded with images telling us that being larger is a negative thing, etc. It’s rather depressing really, when you stop to think about it.

Ah, I know, and I took no offense. 🙂
But I know a lot of people will look at skinny and too-thin women and turn up a nose.. I’ve been called anorexic and bulimic and actually made fun of because I’m a twig, when it’s just part of who I am not not part of a lifestyle I chose. :/Volunteer mod- I'm here to help!
