Riding crop costumes go bye bye - Page 20

Measuring Beauty - thought I'd dig this up, an old Newsweek article that explores ways one might actually be able to "measure" beauty:

Quote:

Abstract: Recent research correlates physical attraction between human females and males to certain physical features
regardless of culture. Men and women are naturally drawn to symmetry in face and body. Men innately prefer women with a
small waist-to-hip ratio, a physical indicator of child-bearing ability.

Read the whole thing here

But if we wat to discuss this perhaps we need a new thread.

Maybe some people have developed fantasies around the "old" CM costumes?

On the actual topic, I will say this:

THe tour-guide we had for the Keys To THe Kingdom Tour at WDW was of the generously proportioned persuasion, but we were more concerned about her rude manner ** than her outfit, which was (IMHO) flattering to that particular figure anyway.

**(Derail Warning) BTW: What happened was this - We were stopped in the HM Courtyard and she was in the middle of a very long yarn about the hidden mickeys in the WDW Mansion. Stoat has heard all about these from me ad nauseum and so he stepped away fromn the group for a brief time, and stood next to some other camera toting tourists, and snapped a pic of the mansion on this, the first sunny day we had seen at WDW.

She noticed the pic (the only one he had taken, BTW) and chided him abruptly in what I would call a "Old-fashioned school marm" manner, talking condascendingly to him as though he was a child and making pleading gestures with her hands. (I have a pic somewhere that I'll drag out.)

He was thoroughly shamed and it totally ruined the tour for him, and me. I realise he should have read the sign in the tour courtyard, but he was excited and distracted at the time. It's not even as if he was holding up the group, he just took a quiet moment to snap a pic we had not been able to get the whole trip. That said, there is a right way and a wrong way to chide someone, and she was OTT in my opinion. She could have asked him to stop quietly without making a dramatic example of him. We didn't complain to City Hall about her, as we were shamed into feeling guilty, but I had to suffer a miserable day for the rest of the day as a result

one of the few things THIS obese CM remembers from my foggy drug-induced days in the hospital over a year ago is the visit from my SKINNY, FAT, UGLY, INSANE and BEAUTIFUL LoT family.

my point? i couldn't have been in a much less attractive place or worse mental state.

that visit was from TRUE friends that love me, regardless of my weight or state of mind. Those friendships grew stronger and because of the support and encouragement through this past year, i have made some amazing and fu<king awesome accomplishments.

it is important to me (for the purposes of THIS thread) that i point out my clear recollection of the visit by CP!! not to mention the personal time she gave me during recovery and the days that followed. i am clearly morbidly obese, i know it... it didn't and doesn't matter to my friend Jennie.

i doubt she wants to sleep with me, but that's ok, i like smaller titties on my date anyway.

now, to stay on topic,...
where the hell did Sactown hide that crop?

Won't it clash with the lederhosen and the bambi suit ?

I think I've come to realize that most people want their bodies to be different than what they currently are.

As a former stick figure (140, size 6, b-cup) I was never happy then. I wanted curves and softness. I hated being boney and hard. My SIL brought up a memory that my Mother told me (and everyone in the room) one Thanksgiving that I had huge thighs. I probably just accepted it as fact.

Now, I carry about 50 extra pounds on me mostly due to the fact that I don't have a thyroid and I don't do much exercise. While I'm really happy I'm soft and hugable while still not looking tooooooo fat, I wish I could be about 25 lbs less. Thin enough to wear clothes well and plump enough to not look decimated.

But, I guarantee you that, if 25 pounds would disappear, I'd still have something to be concerned about. I tend to work more today on my self image rather than my weight. I'm fairly happy with who I am today and that means more to me than 50 or 25 pounds ever will.

I'm 5' 10". I don't think you're that much shorter than me.

Alex · 12-05-2005, 11:31 AM

Since I'm 6'0" I have to agree, I don't think I'm that much shorter than you.

And, I suspect, Alex doesn't often wear high-heel shoes.
