Yáahl, Gúud, Tsai’s sizing is based on my shape and because I am the center of my universe (as Aphrodite was of hers), I am a Medium (even though, according to the Marilyn Monroe world of sizing I am a small, the Penthouse world of sizing I am a 0 and the Asian metric of sizing I am an extra large). So if you find comfort in thinking you know your size, stop now and get a tape measure *. As Aphrodite so beautifully demonstrates (she has invisible servants because she is a goddess)
Gyáa hlaa! Stand up!
Án hl k’wíidaa! Measure yourself!
Note: it is vital you do not take what you discover personally. It is just a number.
Then click your heels together and repeat after me, “There is no place like me”, “There is no place like me”. Voila! You have arrived home in your perfect body!
G̱a káayaang hlaa! Jump up and down!
* (if you do not have a measuring tape, find a yardstick or 12″ ruler and measure off a 60″ piece of yarn or shoelace liquorish or toilet paper. Use this length to loop around your body at the designated spot for your style and mark the join with a knot or paper clip. Measure the distance from end to knot against the inches of your ruler or yardstick.)
Háw’aa. Thank you.
