Illustration – Spanx Makes Me Feel Like A Sausage

I own and wear Spanx. Every time I put them on I feel like sausage that has been stuffed into a skin. I have given birth to two beautiful daughters so Spanx has become a standard under my dresses and formal wear. Not everyone is a fan of Spanx. I stumbled across an article asking the question, are Spanx good or evil? There are two sides to the Spanx debate and reading the comments on this article dives deep into the social issues behind the concept of Spanx.

        Dearest Shazza !…I recommend you stay in low range 4wd untill the studies are completed….is there an oral challenge to your thesis ????, worth checking who are the external reviewers …discreetly.your supervisor shot have this in place and coach you accordingly …remember once you are granted a thesis submission ,it is in no ones interest ,especially your super’s for your thesis although no one tells you this,,it’s your super’s rep and his/her rivals reps that are in play…keep your 30/30 winchester in the 4wd ,loaded with hard data (math % explanation/s relating to case studies, (which can be great stories) ,and still be full of methodological(experimental design),traps for young players.!..hence my question about orals….much love Ian
