I thought this was very cute!! Thanks for the laugh this morning!! I needed it!

That is just AWFUL! LOL

LOL!! Is that real? Have  they been around that long? It goes up to size 16....lololol.

GAHHHH  lol I remember having to get school clothes in the huskies...  think I would have rather been chubby...  *sigh*  Or wearing old lady clothes because nothing came in *my* size in my age group clothing... We also had to travel from Duluth to the Cities to find clothes.  School shopping was a real ordeal.

Gosh, can you even believe it?! I remember "Pretty Plus" and 'husky' like Lori, too. I will admit I like the #&letter combo now, but CANNOT wait to be a single number with NO letter! wahoo! Foster - good to see you posting BTW!

OOOhhhh my - this actually gave me the shivers....the ad is before my time, but I remember "chubbies".  It was the fear of having to wear "chubbies" that sent me to TOPS Club at the age of 9.  I avoided the chubbies but I'm not sure how much good it did for me.  Just started my "issues" with diets and going to a "fat club". It's funny how politically incorrect some of those old ads sound now! Thanks for sharing even though my husband had to listen to me rant a bit!  Once again!  My god a person's childhood can really screw with you! 

Laughed so hard at this one.  I remember my aunt got re-married and went to NYC on her honeymoon and came back with some new dresses.  The size was Junior Plenty.  I laughed then and think it's still funny.  Thanks Linda! Bonnie

That's so hysterical!  I can't believe how un-PC it is.  More over...I can't believe how PC our world has gotten that this type of ad would be protested in today's world.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh my gosh....that is something!! Thanks for sharing!
