There's plus sized mania all over the media. Plus sized models, plus sized sections in almost every store, but what about me??

I'm 5'10 and wear a size 6. What wouldn't I give to be able to walk into a Target and find a pair of jeans or pants that actally came down past my ankles!!

Sure I know there's Gap, Express, and many other stores that I could go in and buy "tall or long" sized jeans. But jeans are about it! What if I wanted some cool kakihs, cords, or dress pants. Not to mention many stores make their jeans with long waists and butts instead of long legs, so they still don't fit me right.

The main part that confuses me is that models are tall. At least 5'10 or above as far as I know. However, not every tall girl is a model and we can't all afford to spend $100 or more on every pair of pants.

What does it take for a tall girl to get some freakin' pants around here?!?
