...and feel crummy!

Wow, this brings back memories. I was a fitting model as a child for Chubettes, got a break on the clothing before my mom put me in a Catholic school with uniforms. The factory was right down the road from where we lived in NJ. I remember the building, which is gone now. I used to loathe going there, can't remember much else.
