As you might know, Emily's Virtual Rocket has been around a while. You'd think that I would get some fabulous clothes. Uh, not really. I get clothing, but it's male clothing.
I am not asking for a handout. What I would like is if you see an article that really moves or inspires you, sending an article of clothing would be a way of saying "thank you". Just send one item. It doesn't have to be from Saks or Cartier. In fact, sending a good lightly used item would be just as appreciated. I am very large (280 pounds/127 kilograms), but I am following one item Weight Watchers diligently. Here's what I'm looking for:

I am very large (280 pounds/127 kilograms), but I am following one item Weight Watchers diligently. Here's what I'm looking for:
- tops (not too loud or flashy)
- wig (medium to dark brown)
- slacks
- skirt (knee length)
- panties (new only, cotton preferable)
- bra (new only)
- nylons (new only)
- socks (extra-large please)
- insert into bra (C cup, no larger)
- sweater
- coat
- inexpensive necklace (long)
- inexpensive perfume
For three of the items which I specify as new, I am not calling for expense or extravagance. Family Dollar, Target, or Wal-Mart, for example, will do nicely. Here's the address:
