Am I an apple or a pear?

Used to always be a definate pear but now my shape seems to have changed but after watching This Morning's fashion item today I'm not sure I'm an apple either. Are there any other options?

I have 35" hips (according to Next this is somewhere between an 8 and a 10), 30" waist (a 14) and a 32E on top. Does this make me an apple because my waist is a 14 and my hips an 8-10 or a pear because my hips are 5" bigger than my waist?

and ...

can I wear skinny jeans???

Maybe skinny jeans would make me look like I am about to topple over?

Think I may be a butternut squash?

I think everyone should avoid skinny jeans.... quite like the butternut squash image

flamebat · 04/10/2005 14:13

Oooh, you culd stick lolly sticks in a butternut squahs, and make tiny skinny jeans for them... then you;d know!

No-- legs definitely have something of the parsnip about them. But this isn't helping Mrs Spoon...

LadyCodofCodford · 04/10/2005 14:17

you and i are the same

3PRINCESSES · 04/10/2005 14:21

There must be loads of us. but do This Morning do a fashion item for those of a vegetational bent? No. Always fruit.

MrsSpoon · 04/10/2005 14:21

LOL @ the butternut squash! Perhaps I'm an upside down butternut squash?

So do you consider yourself an apple or a pear then Cod?

just bought my ds a halloween outfit from woolies - he's a big, round padded pumpkin with thin stripey legs sticking out the bottom.
Is this an apple in skinny jeans look?

TinyGang · 04/10/2005 14:37

Like this?

3PRINCESSES · 04/10/2005 14:39

Yes, but I'll admit its been a while since I've been handled so firmly.

Bozza · 04/10/2005 14:39

at everyone.

But to MrsS I would say an apple.

MrsSpoon · 04/10/2005 14:43

I had been thinking apple up until now, This Morning threw me a bit.

Never happy, I used to hate being pear shaped, though it was the most awful thing in the world, now I would like to be pear shaped again, don't like being an apple, however can I keep the 8-10 hips and get a size 8 waist to go with it???
