SIZES MATTER
If you can twirl your arms around comfortably, then you know that your shirt fits. If the shirt rips down the back, then you know you need a bigger size, either that or you’re The Hulk. Sometimes, I’ll buy a shirt or pants that are too small because I love them so much. I think, I don’t need to button them. I’ll get a rubber band to hold them up. I’ll wear a long shirt or big underwear the same color so nobody will know. Or, I’ll buy them and think, “Well if I lose 2lbs, they’ll fit.” It’s like an incentive to lose a few pounds. You justify buying them. Then they sit in the closet forever and mock you, “Hey fatty, fatty, two by four! At least take the tags off!”
Clothing companies should sew in tags with sizes that are smaller than the clothes actually are. So when you try on pants that are a 6, the tags would say 4. Everybody would suddenly feel great about themselves. “Look, I fit into a 4 now!” It wouldn’t matter if your beer belly was stretching over your waistline, We would believe the tag before believing our own eyes. Of course, it’s the opposite if you try on pants that are supposed to be your size and they’re too small. Then you never believe the tag. You think somebody messed up at the pants factory. I guess my point is, whatever your size is, if the pants fit …wear them.

Hi Ellen,
I want to thank you for speaking out about the murder of the 15 year old boy. I admire your strength and courage in bringing this type of story to the forefront of your show. As gay people, we need to be doing more and more of this type of thing every day in our own lives, telling our stories and letting others know that yes, it's OK to be gay. Love YA!
