Nacho4Sara, That was an awesome post.  
I don’t really have much more to say. I’m not the skinniest maiden of them all by far, and I’m losing weight, but I’ll always be pudgy, think Bottecelli’s Venus. Heh. Think Bottecelli’s Venus-type stuff was the standard of beauty for a long, long time. So I was born in the wrong century. My bad. That is all.

Thank you, RTFirefly. I wanted to send you a hearty “Rock on!” for your posts in this thread too, but I’m a little rusty with the SDMB rules, and I didn’t want to piss anyone off.

Lynne\_Kilii, I am definitely built like Botticelli’s Venus as well, except my boobs are bigger. Ain’t a damn thing wrong with that. I’ve been a size 8, a size 22, and everything in between, and this is simply where my body is happiest.

Do not do this again, **Another Clone**.
