Cotton-Pickin’ Days

In Asia, most of the clothing is tailored for women much shorter and slimmer than me. The situation is changing, though, as populations here grow wealthier and fatter.

This week, a new shop opened in Ho Chi Minh City targeting atypical Asian women and typical foreign women. Too bad the name of the store makes me feel like donning a disguise before entering. Maybe they should have considered choosing a less descriptive name like Lane Bryant. Cottontimer has a nice ring….

Can you see our reflection? I’m seeing if I can fit through the door.
