Good Cosplay costume/character for a Plus-sized Girl?
hey guys, i’m going to the A&G Con for 2011 in Ohio for three days and I need a good cosplay costume/character for the third day (must be at least mostly comfortable!). I’m doing Mina Harker (literary character from the book Dracula) for the first day an then the second day i’m wearing something of my own design. I’m 5 feet 3 inchs tall, my black hair is short right now (hopefully it’ll be longer by the time of the Con but i’m willing to do hair extentions or a wig) i’ve got dark brown eyes (i can’t wear contacts) and my skin is kinda pale for my mixed heritage (european/puertorican/asian/native american (cherokee)). i’m a womens 2x-4x (depending on the cut) in clothing. i like the gothic, lolita, steampunk, harajuku styles of fashion and would like something from each of those styles incorporated into the third cosplay outfit. if not how bout forgoing the harajuku style and having a cosplay with the first three styles (cosplay is not restricted to just anime just so you know)? if you can find an outfit like the one i’m talking about PLEASE lemme know; I’d greatly appreciate it! oh and before i forget: i’ve included some links for the stuff i’m talking about.
^_~ Later!

Has anyone had to wear a heart monitor at any point in their pregnancy?? Or had a thyroid issue?
So a few weeks ago I caught a stomach bug and could not hold any food or fluids down for over 24 hours. My doctor had me go into the hospital for IV fluids and nausea medication. While I was there my heart rate was about 140. Way higher then my normal which is usually about 72. I had a check up about a week later with my doc and I mentioned it to her. While she was checking my babies HR she picked up mine and it was about 125. She thought it might have been from just being dehydrated and said to keep an eye on it for a few weeks and that it might be something as simple as a thyroid issue, in which case she would schedule some blood work to take a look and see what was going on. Well, its been a few weeks and I have noticed it off and on, mostly when I sit down to rest. This weekend I was a little light headed at the same time as my heart started racing. I called the office yesterday and when the nurse called back she said my doctor wanted me to go in next week for a 24 hour portable heart monitor. She said we will go from there to see what our next step is. So, sorry that was long, but have you had to do this before? What was the outcome? Or have you had a thyroid issue during your pregnancy?
Thanks ahead of time for your answers!

PREGNANCY QUESTION: Is it normal for my big toe to be numb on one side? I dont wear tight shoes or stand alot.
im not the skinniest girl but i want a good first day of school look?
i gained a lot of weight this summer and only lost 5 of 15 pounds. so basically, im FAT. im working on losing the weight but theres no way i can before school starts. can you guys just send me like random links or something of things i should wear that wont make me look fat? i was a size 18 in girls plus but i doubt those jeans will fit me right now. what size should i get in juniors or womens? hep me as much as you can and ill like your response as best. thanks. xoxo.
oh and i usually shop at jcpenny for jeans if that helps with the sizes xD
Is a size 2x a size 16 for women?
I’m trying to get a present for someone who is visiting I know that she’s a size 2x about 5’7 does that make her about a size 16? I think she’s about 200lbs. and I don’t want to ask her because it’s a surprise!!
I really need some bra help!?
Right now, I normally wear a 34A bra. Today I began measuring though, and found I should be about a 32AA! (I noticed that in some of my bras, there is unwanted space (I tighten the straps as much as they can go.) and I hate it. It makes me feel fake. Of course, it’s sad to go down a cup size, but I just want to fill out my bra, and not look like I’m trying to make my boobs bigger. My basic measurements are
Rib – About 28 inches (sometimes I measure 29 for some reason though.)
Bust – 31 inches (32 if I measure flat around my body.)
So what is my cup size? I know I can get bras this size online, but how about in stores? I want light padding in it. How do I ask my mom? I’m just 13, and have never been proffesionally fitted before, but she always takes me to the women’s section in JCpenny where they don’t even have AA size. I went up to 34 before, because I was getting marks on my training bra. Plus, I already got my period. How much more will my boobs grow? Will I ever be at least a B cup?
It is gross not to wear a bra in middle school. I’m not flat. I obviously have boobs, I don’t even know why I measure so small. If I don’t wear one they bounce up and down, and it hurts to jump, and you can see everything if I don’t wear one. I need to wear a bra!

I know some men like us full figured girls, but what about stretch marks? do they bother you?
I already have a hard time believing men when they say im beautiful. Then i get to thinking..ok so maybe its true, but what about everything else that comes along with the weight. I got stretch marks when i was pregnant, I’m terrified for people to see them, just wondering if im crazy!
would like to know how can i buy lovely traditional plus-size batik kaftan dress as a gift for a friend?
Do I Really need Maternity Underwear??
Can I get away with wearing low cut cotton undies in a larger size? My Mom said the maternity variety is a must,but I cannot imagine,coming from the low rise jeans culture,wearing panties over my growing belly!
What do you guys think?
