Silverwing, about that Lycra....
LOL!!!
that one had me in chuckles for hours, lifter. but all the replies i came up with sounded like i was channeling Lorena,and i just won't let myself Go There
and as for VG's "excuses, excuses..." hey, Vampie Girlfriend, not all of us are blessed with a .... STUNning.... figure like yours!
besides, i'm fairly positive that there's something written into the Indian Maiden Code that says it's a no-no for Real Indian Women to wear Lycra. i was talking to some of my galfriends at a powwow just around the time Disney's Pocahontas came out, and we all agreed that it was really obvious no one at Disney had ever SEEN a Real Indian Woman--honey, that poor Barbiehontas looks like she's been sniffin' smallpox blankets and is ready for the Great Beyond! no way she'd last even ten minutes in a full-regalia jingle dress dance! my entire dance outfit weighs more than she does. put buckskin on that dollgirl and she'd just crumble into a heap. now, what kind of woman is THAT?
so, no lycra for THIS injun gal. no sirree. i ain't fat, but lycra's for Professional Starvers who make $25,000 a day making us Real Women think there's something wrong with us cuz we don't look like that. (i have a great guy friend who likes to say, "not
even THEY look like that offcamera"...and he's right). Warning: Real Women, Dangerous Curves Ahead....
oh my. was i ranting again? i was, wasn't i. oops.
sigh soorrrreeeee. i guess it's just that i never get to rant that particular rant around men, and it was just too too tempting...rant off...
ahem back on topic.........
TimmyTTT, friend, you're not housebroken if you're licking the scanner, darlin'. got a ways to go, yet, i'd say.
that's ok, we all got growing to do...
oh, and of course i can't let this one from my esteemed elder friend Paracelsus go:
I'm guessing SilverWing looks something like Medusa, and to look at her in her lycra (is that some new sports car I haven't seen yet?) would turn all of us guys into stone. We don't need That, do we?
hee hee...are you saying i'm having a Bad Hair Life?
Medusa needed a hot oil treatment on her serpent-tresses REALLY BADLY. hot oil as in boil those suckers till then dropped off. but no, my hair's just standard-issue long brown, and i never have to feed it small caped rodents....!!
seeing my pic would not turn anyone to stone, i promise.
reading through the posts above, i feel another pet peeve of mine coming on, so please humour me for a few: why does everyone always APOLOGISE for how they look? you'd think y'all had taken Ugly Pills the way you talk about yourselves, and then i look at your photos, and heck, no one breaks my monitor screen, here....
(well, okay, i saw a
small crack start in the far upper corner when Lorena's pic came up, and it got a bit bigger with ol' TimTTT scrolling by....
)
maybe i'm just surprised to hear guys doing it, that's all. i'm used to hearing women talk about how un-pretty they are, and this from women i think are quite lovely. maybe i'm just weird, but there's very few folks i think of as "ugly" or not attractive in some way...we each have our charms, our good points and our bad. example: there's one gal at work who has an absolutely horrible case of severe acne, the "disfiguring" kind. to just glance at her, you'd glance away...but if you take a closer look, you'd realize Someone has compensated this lady with the most beautiful eyes and smile you've ever seen. if all you see is the acne, you'd miss a thing of
true beauty...
so don't apologise for how you look, folks. a Great Artist painted you that way (God, Nature, evolution, whatever the heck you believe in), and Great Artists just don't make
that many mistakes, know what i mean
heck, even Lorena looks OK...for a transgender transpecies person. (lighten up on the eyeliner, though, 'kay, girlfriend? and make a hair appointment, like, NOW)
y'all look just fine to me, except for one thing: you don't have enough KNIVES in your pictures!!!
okay, i'm done now. thanks for listening, er, reading.
