this weekend i watched a movie in which Kate Winslet played a suburban housewife who ends up having an affair with a stay-at-home dad she meets when their kids are playing at the same park.

at one point she calls to order a swimsuit from a catalog so she can take her daughter to the pool where the dad and boy hang out...
when asked what size she wants, she says something like "ah, i don't know. 10? 8? um, 8?"

yeah RIGHT.

ok, hooray for human sizing rather than a size 2. but what woman calls to order a swimsuit without some idea of the size?
