Womans Own – Russell Silver Syndrome Article

On page 60 of either this week’s or last week’s edition of Woman’s Own there is an article about a couple with a daughter with Russell Silver Syndrome.   You can find the feature on and around page 60.

It doesn’t really tell us RSS-er’s anything that we don’t already know, but it’s always nice to see the profile of the syndrome raised.

What do you think about the article?

Petite Fashion

As most people with dwarfism know, trying to find fashionable clothing and footwear that doesn’t include glitter or butterflies is a challenge in itself.

I’ve noticed that whenever I meet another small person we are always checking each other’s clothes and shoes out and asking ‘where did you get that?’ or ‘which shops do you buy your clothes from?’ to try and find that great piece of clothing or pair of shoes.  So Kim and I thought it would be a great idea to gather a list of the community’s favourite shops and stores where we buy petite clothing and shoes from.

And so the Fashion section has been born.  Kim and I asked the RSS community for the links of there favourite shops and stores where they can buy adult looking clothing and footwear in smaller sizes – many thanks to the people who contributed.

If there is any other shops/stores that sell petite clothing/footwear you think are worthy of a mention – please let us know and we’ll put them in the directory.  In the meantime – check-out the RSS People Petite Fashion section »

RSS-Diagnosed Journalist Needs Your Help

Hi there! My name is Pete and I am an English freelance journalist and a RSS person. I have just finished my studies and am now entering the big wide world. for the first time. I’m on the look out for that elusive first job but as you can imagine competition for work is incredibly fierce.

I decided to set up an Audioboo account.  Audioboo is similar to Facebook but rather than uploading photos, you upload audio files (sound recordings). On my CV I mention that I have experience interviewing people and when I came across Audioboo an idea flashed into my mind. I hope to upload audio files of interviews I have conducted so that I can include a link to the site on my CV and employers can instantly find evidence of my interviewing ability.

This is where you come in!! I would love to interview a fellow RSSer over the phone and record it. The interview would be friendly and informal and could cover anything you like.

The following is a link to my Audioboo page and if you click on the ‘Welcome’ you will get an idea of what the site is all about: audioboo.com/peteguest.   If you would be interested in being interviewed please email me at peteguest59 [at] hotmail.com

ITV This Morning – Russell Silver Syndrome Feature

Thanks to Kim for sending me this over…. ITV’s This Morning had a feature about 3 year-old Amelie who has RSS.  Phillip and Holly talk to her parents, their other daughters and a specialist about living with the syndrome and the type of symptoms that we get.

Nothing we RSS-ers haven’t already heard, but it’s always nice to see the syndrome having it’s profile raised
