What is different or even unique about your body? Do you have six fingers
on each hand, or extra-wide feet, or odd-colored hair, or can you wiggle your
ears or bend your arms into strange positions? Are there parts of you that
do not fit standard clothing? (Are there any grexers who can wear standard
sizes in all clothing?). Do you have trouble finding comfortable chairs, or
shoes, or glasses? (Is one ear higher than the other?).

I have difficulty finding hats that fit, although there are some kinds
I'd love to wear on a regular basis.
I don't find much about me terribly unusual, although people very
occasionally notice my eye color. It was green until the pigments
started separating out a bit. There is a corona of hazel brown around
the pupil, and the rest is bluish with a blue-green outline.

I have very huge feet for a woman. (I wear a size 12-wide) I can find
shoes that fit but usually I have to buy men's shoes. I have a LOT of
trouble finding women's dress shoes that fit me. Luckily for me, there
are lots of men with big feet who like to wear girly shoes so they do
make them in large sizes like that.

I'm not saying this to be mean, but have you considered checking out places
that cater to transvestite and transgendered men?

I'm a 12 wide too. It's really all about Payless and Nordstrom.

Hm . . . Nordstroms, huh? I wear a 10 wide, and although there are a
few more shoes out there for women's 10 wide than 12-wide, it's
incredibly difficult to find quality shoes that are attractive.

Trust me - Nordstroms. They are expensive - but they are also well made -
and their staff totally rocks.

Hrm, I guess my only oddity is that I have Celtic feet, which are
shaped slightly differently than "regular" feet, and fit better into Doc
Martens than anything else.

Me, me. Trendy, fashionable 12s are _impossible_ to find! Road trip? Or
an accessories swap meet?

I think one thing to keep in mind is that what looks good in a size 6 or 7
doesn't necessarily look good in a 12. And fashionable 12s are possible to
find - I'm wearing very fun sandals right now.

Edina has a VERY good point, though. It does make the hunt less
diasppointing if one remembers this.

re #10 I am not saying this to be mean, but do you know of any places
that cater to transvestite and transgendered men? Seriously. I ask
because I have considered it because I have seen some drag queens with
some seriously big feet and fabulous shoes but I have been too shy to
ask them where they get their shoes.
re #11 Thanks for the Nordstroms tip. I have gotten dress shoes at
Payless but they dont often have a big selection and when I *do* find a
pair of dress shoes there that I really like, they never last very
long.

re: 22
There are places in Royal Oak, but I don't know their names. I'll ask some
friends later tonight.

I"m not aware of any in Royal Oak, but there's one about half an hour north
of me. There's a place in Royal Oak that does cater to strippers, and has
shoes up to 13, but not the sort of shoes yo're probably looking for.
