the grass is always greener...

I have a very dirty habit.  I love reading magazines; Cosmo, Glamour, Allure, Vogue, InStyle, you name it.  Fashion magazines are my guilty pleasure.  Truthfully, it's actually that fashion is my guilty pleasure, but since I don't have the money to actually indulge for myself, instead I choose to torture myself by looking through magazine after magazine and fantasizing about what could be, someday, maybe.  Now this is all harmless and fine except that almost every time I open one of these magazines there is a section for dressing your body type. I hate these sections. Yes there is a petite section, and I am petite, but I'm not really petite because I'm also curvy, but I'm not really curvy because I just have big boobs. Everything else is pretty small. This is never a section in any magazine. There's a Curvy section (sometimes called Hourglass) but I have no hips so it doesn't apply, so I'm definitely not pear shaped, but I'm also definitely not boyish (I'm still not even sure what exactly that means), nor am I plus-sized so I can't go with either of those, which leaves me with Petite, but they expect petite girls to be flat-chested so it rarely works out. Not to mention, Curvy and Hourglass aren't even options some of the time. I say BOO!
