Picture two genetically engineered watermelons. They are light brown in color and have a maximum flesh to rind ratio. Put them in a plastic bag.
Sit this plastic bag atop another platic bag filled to bursting with jello.
Place both plastic bags on two pale sticks. Wonder at how the laws of physics can allow the two plastic bags to sit atop the sticks and not fall over. Wonder also how so many shades of brown can be part of one cohesive whole.
Biggirl in a bathing suit.
P.S. This sight does not stop me from putting on a bathing suit and enjoying a day on the beach. New Yorkers beware!
I used to think I look terrible, but now i look better - a few months down the gym’ll do that.
My swimsuit is a black all-in-one suit-and-shorts affair and the upper legs are covered but the cleavage line is optimised, thus drawing attention to my favourite part I’m certainly not underweight so i have a sort of soft hour-glass figure. I look curvy, and I like looking curvy.
I’m very white, and I have a 1-inch knot visible on my lower back. I’m thinking about getting a giant tatoo of a dragon, swirling around my torso. What do you think? Too zebra-ish?
I look overweight, which is what I am although I’m in denial about it.
I’ll bet all of you look better than you think you do. Then again, I’m so impressed by your wit and charm, you’d never find a more flattering judge of your appearance than me. I know I’m not the only one who is like this–let me get a glimpse of someone’s great mind and I can never see them as unattractive. One of my coworkers is morbidly obese, but she’s absolutely amazing in the brains department, incredibly kind, and really insightful. I have to be reminded that she’s anything more than plump. I just don’t see it.
Who’s for heading for the beach?!? I’ll be the one in the neck-to-toe muumuu.
I’ve been known to say this same thing, and I certainly abide by it myself. But you know, the more I think about it, the more I think Who says fashion is only meant for a certain size range? Who gives a rat’s ass if you’ve got the ideal body? If it makes you feel good, wear it. Where is it written (other than the “Glamour DON’T” page) that a size 28 can’t wear a bikini? Where’s the law that says a guy with a 42 waist and a set of tits to rival mine can’t wear a speedo? Go for it, if that’s what you prefer to wear. If other people have a problem with it, well, it is their hangup. I just hate that we seem to believe that others get to pass some sort of aesthetic rule about the appropriateness of certain clothes for certain body sizes and states of fitness.
I opt to just never wear a bathing suit. I somehow feel that this will keep people completely in the dark about the size of my ass.
I realize that an ass that be seen in 3 cardinal directions in a bathingsuit can also been seen in 3 cardinal directions in a pair of jeans, but its my hang-up and I’ll delude myself as necessary. =)
I look really good in a blanket and nothing else though.
5’10", 185#, 13% body fat, 46" chest, 34" waist. Very tan from spending all winter laying in a tanning bed to fight the winter whites. I look pretty damn good in a bathing suit, particularly for a 37 year old man. Vanity, thy name is plnnr.
Of course, lately I’ve been going to a nude pool with my SO (who looks pretty damn terrific, too) so the bathing suit question is moot.
I’m about 6’0" and 170# or so. Runner/soccer player legs and bum. I tan very quickly and easily, and it lasts a long time (through an entire Minnesota winter, about 11 months). Not a whole lot in the way of arms or a chest, but I’d keep it rather than spin the wheel again.
I’m glad so many of you aren’t ashamed of wearing a bathing suit and thereby looking good. Yay for you guys (however few you might be).
I, for one, am rather white (but don’t care much). I’m short and pretty small, so I don’t have problems with my belly, really. What disturbs me is the fact that I’m rather small-chested. It wouldn’t be so bad, but an alarming amount of my male friends find amusement in telling me how flat I am.
Ummm… For years I thought that I look absolutely horrible in a bathing suit. Well, everything above my waist looked fine, but my hips and butt, well, let’s just say that they weren’t my proudist features. However, this year I said “Screw It! If I want to wear two piece then the world can deal with!” I went out and bought my first two piece since I was 11. I wore it to the beach, and, low and behold, no one ran screaming in the oppisite direction. In fact, I got six honks, dog wistles, etc., on the walk from my house to the beach (Which isn’t very far. 200 yards, at the most). I had a great time too
I’m certainly not underweight so i have a sort of soft hour-glass figure. I look curvy, and I like looking curvy.
