There was also a bedridden-sized lady who lost an immense amount of weight with Richard Simmons' personal attention, IIRC. He started her out with clapping. Just clapping. Which is a heavy exercise if you're bedridden-sized.

I think she got down to the "slightly overweight" kind of average older-but-not-quite-elderly lady build, but I could be confusing two people. She did lose enough to be able to walk around, I remember that.

All of this is something I read like 18 years ago in one of my mom's magazines, sooooo

Oh no, children are encouraged not to be obese.

Also not gaining weight = disorder now.

You're supposed to gain weight as you grow, people hitting puberty are growing. Plus, a lot of girls that age decide they're fat because they don't have a flat stomach or some other feature, so they give up and end up overweight or obese. Anorexia/bulimia aren't the only eating disorders that poo poo causes, just the most talked-about.

Americans are fat as gently caress, second only to Mexicans, so this idea of society pressuring all these women to be super thin is obviously bullshit and NWAI (not working as intended).

It's working as intended, people spend billions on stuff that's supposed to make weightloss easy. And other things that aren't always a sign of self-confidence issues, but are often enough.

It's not so much society as it is advertising, reinforced by society.

Probably because they're bent over like you would be on a movie poster. If it was a close-up of them, it could work.

But since they're standing in such a long shot, the staging looks awkward as gently caress, especially since people don't bend like that to look back.

Also yeah, transition lenses, ew.

Yeah, that's not helping. I'm okay with it not being a close up of them, though. Perfectly fine.

I can't decide if she had that coat custom-made so she could "be" a gothloli, or if she paid an insane amount of money to buy an actual plus-size gothloli coat from a Japanese retailer. Either way, no.

A lot of clothing companies that can be lumped under the term "alternative" have started carrying larger sizes over the past few years. And newer ones just automatically go up to at least US 2X out of the gate. Most of them go up to a US 4X (I think that's a 24).

So it might just be a cheaply made coat from one of those brands. I don't know for sure, I don't go for pink coats and I'm not a 4x. I'm basing this off of the fact that a brand I often see when browsing around makes a lot of similar coats:




Also, for whoever asked, gothic lolita is basically "little-girl goth." Which means sometimes there's a lot of pink. In pink or black, the outfits usually look like a pinafore ate a wedding cake, and it's more noticeable with pink/white.

I need that shirt.


Here's my least favorite thing ever. I would rather watch ten zit-popping videos than listen to this waddling, talking embodiment of First World Problems. You've probably seen it before, but I was trying to describe the extent of my impotent rage in another thread and this was the best descriptor I could think of in my DayQuil-addled state:

Woman has huge meltdown over Bath and Body Works Candles and one unfortunate store employee who seemingly did nothing wrong.

I have questions.

Does B&BW even get daily shipments? Most places get 'em weekly or twice a week, I just find out when the next one is.
Also, the manager explained her mistake (and I bet she explained it more thoroughly but this lady had already given into sweet sweet self-righteous anger), she mistook the smaller candles for larger ones. On paper. She didn't see the candles until they came to the store. How hard is that to figure out?

It also sounds like she should have asked about exchanging her PEACH BELLINIS for the smaller candles. I mean, that's what I would do if I loved the scent that friggin' much. This isn't a question.

This isn't a question either. She isn't owed anything. Sometimes people make mistakes, or no one makes a mistake, and it causes an inconvenience. Even a fairly large one, for day to day life, like driving an extra 15 minutes :rolleyes: I run into this kind of thinking all the time, selling stuff online & through apps. If I hosed up, I'm much more willing to work with the person, because I feel bad about loving up. If I didn't make any error, I'm sorry you don't fit into the shorts with the clearly marked tags that have "Runs small, measurements on request" in the listing, but that's not my fault. Even then, if someone is polite and willing to cover return costs, I'll work with them.

But I'm a one-woman show with ratings to worry about, not corporate. If you gently caress up as an employee and all you can do is apologize (I'm pretty sure Jen didn't have the authority to give her free anything, or she would have, if only to shut her up), that's all you can do!

Also if this is the worst thing to happen to this woman lately, I am jealous as hell of her life. Even though she lives in rural Wisconsin.

There's nothing inherently sexual about hoof shoes, he might just like them. A lot of people have a fetish for high-heel shoes, but at the end of the day they're shoes. It's like the argument against VCRs, that they are/were mostly used to record TV shows, which was illegal. Well, yeah, but they did have legitimate legal uses and it's not fair to ban something because some group of people, even a majority, are creepy about it. If he were walking on dildoes, sure, but a hoof shoe is a hoof shoe. It's just a shoe.

He's wearing a tail too, that tilts it more towards "ahhh fetish" and away from "just different" for me.

Hoof boots have been a thing in haute couture for a couple years now. and yes, a thing in fetishes since whenever the first person who wanted to gently caress a horse made a pair, so probably hundreds of years. But they've had enough fashion designers tackle them that they wouldn't be automatically fetishy by themselves.

I'm just confused at how her lower leg is like "Swarthy Turk" level of hairy and not so much anywhere else.

She probably shaved for at least several years before growing it out, which will do that. And she almost certainly has long hairs on her thighs, they're just fine and very light. I'm pretty dark haired, and my thigh hairs are fine and almost blond.

I'm honestly torn on shaving. Those legwarmer legs look terrible, but they would feel soft. Shave the hair and you'll be running a never ending battle against prickly stubble. Stubble sucks. But this same argument could be used to justify dudes going full ZZ Top.

This is why I wax, TBH. I don't have an issue with having leg hair, but I wear a lot of tall boots and tall socks and tights and leggings year round, and at a certain length, long hair under those becomes uncomfortable for me. Plus waxing thins out the hair over time, causes it to grow in more fine and soft, and post-waxing, there's very little stubble. A few here and there from hairs that broke off instead of being pulled out entirely. five minutes with tweezers every few days and that problem is solved.

I'm pale enough that the hairs are still fairly visible in the grow-out period, but nothing like before. It's awesome.

I also have trichotellomania, so I get massive satisfaction from ripping out 30 hairs at once. Even if I didn't, I'd still wax. I hate that stubble feel.

How have you lived long enough to post on the internet and you think this old wives tale is legit?

I'm talking about how cutting any hair at a blunt angle makes it look thicker. Which is what got that particular old wives tale started.

That doesn't just go away once it hits a half inch or w/e. It's not the reason the entire strands look dark, but it could add to the overall appearance.

Dry-shaving/overshaving actually can cause hair to grow in thicker, but only if you do it enough to actually thicken the skin. Rare on legs.

Do you happen to have any methods for resisting the urge to pull, or any advice for someone who wants to stop pulling? My girlfriend has trich and pulls her eyebrows, and it makes her extremely self conscious. Her current solution is one of those little fidget spinners to keep her hand busy. Sorry if this line of questioning is weirdly personal, I've just never seen anybody else with that particular fixation.

I sacrificed my eyebrows 17 years ago for the sake of my lashes, but maybe don't tell her that? Depends on if it would depress her about her own situation. But redirecting it towards something she's okay with pulling can work. Ingrown leg hairs, stubble on legs, pubic hair if she's not having an audience with the Pope, belly if she's like me and gets nine thick dark hairs between her belly button and pubes proper. That doesn't really help unless she's in a place where she can take her pants off and/or whip out a pair of tweezers, though.

Trimming nails very short is also good, and hiding tweezers, or giving them to someone else and saying "don't give these back to me until next week." Fidgety gadgets never worked for me, I'd start reading or otherwise become absorbed or nervous and next thing I knew, I'd ditched the gadget and was halfway through an eyebrow's worth of stubble. But that's me. I also didn't try to hard to redirect my energies to the gadget, because I had already been sacrificing my eyebrows for like five years and honestly figured if they grew in at all, they'd grow in weird and also make my face look weird.

People rarely even notice I'm sans eyebrows, when I point it out they act like I David Copperfielded them away. Knowing there's a lady who does fine without them might make her feel better about having little missing spots?

She can also learn to fill her brows with makeup. Maybe. I don't know her, dunno how feasible that is. That's what my sister does when she can't help herself and has little bare patches. It's different than drawing them on.

Sorry I don't have better advice.

"The male gaze being suspect" is kind of a weird reason to stop helping your scrub their personal areas?

Like, I do not give a single poo poo, my kid likes to run and hide when he's out of the shower or other wise naked, wait for me to come looking for him, and then he jumps out and goes "AHHHH IT'S A MONSTER PEE" which is what he calls his penis no matter what anyone else says about it. And he waves it at me while he does this. I think it's funny, cause he only does it at home, to his mom or dad. I can't believe I'm telling this thread about this but I can't think of a better way to indicate I'm comfortable with my own kid being naked, but not in a creepy way? I'm not comparing it to the situation of the author of that book, because he's a dad of daughters and I'm a mom of a son. Just saying I don't have weird hangups.

My point is, he still washes his own tiny dong. Has for like two years now. I felt weird helping his dad teach him how, even though I'm his mom. Having your own kids wash their junk ASAP is a good idea because they're gonna be doing it for the rest of their lives.

The dude shouldn't feel bad about cleaning his kid's privates, and he shouldn't feel bad for being upset that the pervasive "men are perverts" thing made him double-guess himself, but he also should be teaching them to scrub themselves anyway.
