Which tattoo? And thanks. 
The stream/line/chain you have running down like a shoulder strap.
torie, you truly are beautiful. And this may sound odd but there’s something I find incredibly appealing about your shoulders.
Also, we have very similar tittums, but you look better in them. I’ll bet its those shoulders!
Oh sure, it’s a dragon. These are all SFW
sooo am i supposed to show me and my gf having sex?
Thank you.
Well, first of all, you have eyebrows I would gleefully sack small villages for! Perfect arch, perfect length, and they don’t go invisible for the outer half like mine do! 
I’ll be honest, it’s hard for me to look at the nude pictures because you look so unhappy and tense, and I totally relate to that feeling. The pictures where you look the most physically beautiful are the ones where you’re relaxing and loving your baby. In those, you glow, and you look warm and loving and secure, and that makes you very attractive indeed.
I’ll get in that line. Thanks Green Bean!
Torie I love your dragon, very original. I like the tarot necklace too.
Well, these are pretty much SFW, but I’ll go ahead and break the link. Unfortunately, I don’t have very good quality digital files of these pics (I have them printed on 11 x 17 glossy). I dated a photographer who liked to take pictures in low light situations, moving the lens around to create what he called a “light painting”.
I actually kind of like them, and usually don’t care for pictures of myself.
Thanks!
Jakes86… I gotta a question for you. How did you do it? Not pose for the photo, I mean how did you get that msg. to appear at the top of the screen. The one that reads: This image has been reduced in size to fit on you screen
woo hoo
On a somewhat more serious note, try showing yourself doing something artistic or something with flair!
I am not talking about the modeling where being a size 0 means you need to go on a diet Coke and cigarette diet. I’m talking about the modeling where you wear clothes meant for women who have discernible body shape that can be differentiated from that of 10-year-old boys in ways other than crotch bulge.
Me, too! Me, too!
Interesting effect… It reminds me of photos taken of running water with a long exposure time.
When did a size zero become akin to having the body of a 10-year-old boy?!!?!
The clerks at the printers would always question whether he wanted the prints, since they were “out of focus”. That would really piss him off because he was an artist (said with great angst and a sigh.)
und now iz the time on Sprockets when we dance!
Between you and malkavia, I’m going to start looking on the AP wire for stories of random villages going from bustling dirt farmers to smoldering piles of ash.
Also, torie:
The pictures of you with your firstborn are emotionally spectacular.
Frame them. Seriously.
Get a local photographer, set up some of those shots, and keep some for yourself and see if a local museum or something would like to include them in an exhibit.
The beauty of those pictures exists in a way most nude depictions cannot approach because the emotions are different. That child could not be more relaxed, could not be more devoted to you, could not be more vulnerable. And the suggestion throughout those photos with you and your child is that safety is so thoroughly secured that it is almost even an afterthought at that point – because there’s nothing more to secure.
You cannot get that beauty, in a photo or otherwise, with surgery, makeup, Photoshop, whatever. You get it by devoting yourself to someone who for the first many months (years) of his or her life can do little more than need. And, in return, love.
You are not going to have the body of a 20-year-old model anytime soon. You will have healthy and productive and respectful children.
You are beautiful with your child and without. The nude shots betray a certain unhappiness with your current physical form, yes, but not embarrassment or denial. You are looking straight ahead – to make sure you get the shot you want, surely, but also, you are looking right at yourself as you take those shots. If there is any resignation to an unwanted bodily shape, it doesn’t show through.
Since you indicated that you don’t like how you look and that you want to like how you look, perhaps pick something physical about you that you like and that isn’t going to change a lot through pregnancy/ies. Hold onto that mentally. Other areas will change despite any efforts to the contrary. No, these changes are not all fun (at least not for you), but as you mentally adjust to those changes, you can hold onto at least some pregnancy-independent beauty, which is important for you not just to help you maintain an image of yourself as an attractive woman (you are) but to keep a part of your identity separate from your life with your husband and children, for yourself.
Part of my job entails looking at pictures of clothed models. It’s never more than three or four a week, but add those up over the last nine months and it’s quite the collage.
If not for the skirts and makeup, they’d be indistinguishable from prepubescent boys. I have never seen the appeal of such a look, but there it is.
The size 0 remark was meant as more of a joke, but really, seriously, I think you deprive yourself of credit by saying you’re too fat to model. Too short? I’ve no idea how tall you are, but from my perspective (and I have zero industry experience), you have what models need: the look to make clothes look good.
