Announcement... and a question.

I guess I'll start with the question.

Do .png's show up on macs? I made all the freebie wallpapers (to be announced later this post) as png's because that's the image format I prefer to work in. Only this morning did it dawn on me that they might not work on a mac. I would think that they would, but one never knows considering the different file formats between pcs and macs. I'd prefer not to just convert them because the png format is soooo much nicer than jpg, and if they work there is really no need.

ANNOUNCEMENT

after much hinting and teasing I've finally gotten around to setting up Dreams in Digital Art on a proper web page rather than just fowarding the domain to the cp shop.

It has a proper gallery, and freebies (including the wallpapers mentioned above).

I still have quite a bit of work to do on it, but it's got enough to announce right now. What I have left to work on is some linkback banners, links to other sites and other smaller stuff. As well as reworking the css to make it more in line with the focus of the site.

Anyway, please check it out... and lemme know what you think.

clothes shopping... or how to make the fat girl feel fatter

I need jeans. I think I am down to one pair of black and one pair of brown jeans.

With this in mind I went looking for jeans for a little while yesterday. After cringing at the price at one place, and cringing at the selection elsewhere I decided that I was going to see what wal mart had to offer after dancing.

So I walk in wearing size 24 jeans, and they are slightly loose even. So of course the first size I try is the size I'm wearing.

No Luck.

Disappointed, I go back and grab the next size up. I mean differeneces in manufacturers and cuts can sometimes do that.

Back to the changing room.

No Luck.

Now I'm upset. I don't even bother going up to the next size. I may just have to pay at the one place (lane bryant). I mean no clothing manufacturer can expect me to swallow that I've gone up 2 or more sizes than the one I'm wearing. Besides that even finding anything in the next larger size is next to impossible at wal mart.

But what rubbish. I wish that there were an industry standard of some sort, not whatever the manufacturers feel like making the size. Or maybe they need to revamp the entire way that women's clothing is done. I mean men have a waistline and inseam measurement. Those are pretty hard to mess with without changing how long an inch is. But women's clothing is some arbitrary number that has almost no correlation to an actual size anymore.

Maybe I should just start buying men's jeans. Not only could they not mess with the numbers without my body actually changing, but I might actually get some quality jeans instead of the crap that they pawn off on women.
