I've used them as a guideline, but I almost never have my little swatches with me when I go shopping. For the most part, there were no surprises. I was given color combinations in addition to single colors and I've used them from time to time. Unlike Lady Godiva, I've always loved clothes. I'm just now getting over the "kid in the candy store" phenomenon of the availability of good, fashionable clothing for BBWs - now if they'd only get to active sportswear, I'd be elated). I've noticed that my choice of clothing can be a direct reflection of what I'm feeling. (*reflection* is the key word here ). I bought a nice black summer suit in February, 1984 when I was in NY. Coincidentally, my father was in the hospital that week for a second set of chemotherapy treatments that weren't having much effect on the cancer. Though I was loathe to admit it at the time I bought it, buying that suit was a symbol of my acceptance of his coming death, and later, a symbol of my mourning. After having worked through many of the feelings of loss and release, the suit seems a bit too sober. I want clothes that reflect a more colorful and dynamic image, because that is what I am feeling. I don't think wanting to project what I'm feeling, or even wanting to look my best, take advantage of the good points, and downplay the not-so- good ones is indicative of insecurity or vanity. It's just part of wanting to be the best I can be. Moira Mallison tektronix!moiram
