[two-penny’s worth]  
IMHO, I think it’s sad that anyone can consider a part of their body ugly. I don’t care for what reason. It’s just sad.

Sad or not, **Ice Wolf** , there’s still some body parts that I’m less then aesthetically pleased with. Like my left outer elbow.

Baby toes. They aren’t straight, the nails are almost non-existant, the slant off under the toes next door… I hate them. Nasty, ugly, disgusting, little toes!

Have you been listening to Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention?

In case you weren’t, there is a song…

What’st he ugliest…  
paaart  
of your body?  
Some say your nose  
Some say your toes  
But I think it’s your mind…

I imagine my colon doesn’t have too much going for it.

If I have to stick to externalities, I would would say the part of my body obove my knees. I have good knees.

The thread’s calculated to attract 'em. That, & you’re a [Taylor](http://www.mudd.dhs.org), like me. “There’s a lot of us, & we get around.”

I’m not overly thrilled with my stomach (yet I don’t make a huge effort to lose weight - go figure). Also wish my legs were longer and had a better shape.

I too have ugly littlest toes, but they are nothing to the 1/140,000\* scale map of Antarctica I carry on my ass disguised as a birthmark. Right buttock. Even has the small islands off the coast. And yes, I’m very sensitive about it.

\*I made that ratio up. I’m just saying, in case some smart alec comes in to say that a 1/140,000 scale replica would cover 4 square miles or something. No, my ass isn’t **that** big.

My torso. I have an unfortunate case of body acne. The acne on my face is mostly gone, but it still likes to dwell on my chest. I’d go nakes SO much more often if it wasn’t there. I hate it, but once it’s gone, it’s naked time.

I have pretty ugly toes, but I like my feet, so it balance out. My **hands** however are they smallest stumpiest ugliest hands on the planet, that I have seen anyways. I have yet to find an adult with smaller hands then mine. Not to mentiion my nails could use a serious talkin’ too in the growing department.

Two words: stretch marks

Yup. Gained sixty pounds while pregnant. Breasts ballooned right along with the belly. The body went back to normal but the skin didn’t recover. I’m perfectly fine with it, though.

And, yeah, my left pinky toe.
