Junonia has lovely, well-made plus-size sportswear and athletic wear - I've seen Rosie O wearing some of their styles -

2. Thought you were talking about UNDERWEIGHT people
I couldn't imagine what products could be specifically designed for skinny people.

11. I prescribe lots and lots of television watching.
And no more walking. If he needs to go somewhere, he can sure as hell drive. There's a veritable cornucopia of television out there, it's time to start clearing out that DVR.

7. jeans -- for anyone over 5' 6" and underweight
My DH is 6'5" and needs a 30 waist and at least a 36 length in jeans. It's virtually impossible to find the length for that waist size. It seems like the stores have plenty of short and large sizes, but none for long and thin. :shrug:

14. Try
www.denimexpress.com - the 30 x 36 were hard to find, but there was at least one kind available, Wrangler "cowboy cut". That site is good for hard to find sizes.
