Yeah 9 inch should hit right above or at the knee. You should go try shorts on dude; pictures are deceiving and you don't necessarily want the slimmest short anyway. Wider shorts can look good too, though they look better if they're shorter. If I had to bet though I'd go with the Cheap Mondays or the BDGs. I still think the best option if you want non-premium slim shorts is to get pants and have them hemmed.

Over the past few months I've dropped approximately 30 lbs. I still have more to do in the weight loss dept. but I've started buying a few new clothes and it feels great.

Due to my previous overweightness, I'm not really used to wearing fitted clothes, so I'm trying to find the right spot!

This is the same shirt in two sizes - the first one is small. The second one is medium. I bought the medium a while ago, and I've been enjoying it. The medium has been washed and dried, so it's not getting any smaller. The small is off the rack in the store, so it might shrink a bit.

Should I go small? Thanks for any advice!

Solid black pants= looking like a waiter.

Black pants with subtle pinstripe= acceptable?

To be honest, the medium looks slightly too big (especially at the hem, but that may just be the pic), but the small looks too small, and will be even worse after washing. Personally, I'd try to find a better-fitting shirt, but if I had to choose, I'd go with medium.

So my Endovanera tank came in the mail today. It's perfect, I am in love. I immediately threw it on and wore it to my 20th century art history exam. Big ******* mistake.

I had to write a lot, a lot, a lot and my hand hurt and I was shaking it and **** and somehow managed to get a thin, light line of ink about three quarters of an inch long on the front of my tank top. I was absolutely furious. I got back to my room and sprayed the **** out of it with Oxiclean but it just made the line lighter. I'm considering using tooth paste or bleach but I don't want to ruin my new tank. It's very thin; it's 100% cotton. Any suggestions?

UPDATE: at this point the massive amount of oxiclean I sprayed has dried and the line is very faint but still visible to my OCD eye...should I just continue to bombard it with oxiclean and hope it evaporates out?

http://www.tobi.com/product/17551-en...977#ref=plroll Oxiclean is basically like a tide to go stick but in spray form. I scrubbed it a lot, to the point where I started worrying I was gonna **** up the material. But when the oxiclean dried/evaporated the line was much lighter so who knows. I dunno, my mom always told me if all else fails try toothpaste but that seems a little intense for this thing. I tried to take pics with my camera but the line isn't really visible, hahah. Hold on, there's on where you can kinda see it...

How about soaking the tank for an extended period of time?

Just a few weeks ago, an ink pad exploded on an admin assistant's new pants. She was able to soak for several days and the ink came out. I'm not sure if she prepped with anything before the soak.

Regardless, Good Luck.
