First Female Self-Made Billionaire

[Shellfish]

The subject of Spanx came up at lunch yesterday (maybe because of this milestone), and several people had stories of struggling with them. One person said that she thought it might be easier to get them on if she initially put them on inside out and sort of pulled them up like the reverse of peeling a piece of fruit. Somehow her hand got stuck inside of them and then she fell over, so she was left flopping on the floor like a fish.

I hate to laugh at my friends, but that was hilarious.

I almost wonder if the folks who are having this much trouble with them should just go up a size.

My "real pair" of spanx (so, not the tights) isn't any harder to get on than a snug pair of pants, and it's the super duper control and I'm not a small woman.

The ones that are like bike shorts are easy to put on--my problem was with the "Higher Power Briefs." Height and weight-wise, I'm in the lower half of my size range so that's not it for me.
