SpecialSundae Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm totally a nudist at heart. I wear clothes for other people's modesty (and because they're cute and practical).But yeah, totally comfortable walking around naked or in a bikini and don't see it as a sexual advertisement. I was once told by a female manager that my clothing at the time (cashmere sweaters and pencil skirts, by the way) was incitement to sexual harassment. She was rapidly told by HR and the union that nothing could be classed as that. You wouldn't want her in a rape trial jury, that's for sure! 2 Quote Link to comment

Xisiqomelir Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I challenge you to find a picture of what YOU think YOUR body looks like and then do a comparison. I bet you get it quite far wrong. This is a good thread! <----- I do have parts of my physique that I like.... ....but I've always thought my upper body looked completely deficient from the front. This guy is at least 30 lb lighter than me: But though I know it's completely irrational, I feel as though we look exactly the same: Quote Level 2 Illithid Assassin, STR: 5 DEX: 2 STA: 1 CON: 1 WIS: 4 CHA: 4 Current challenge: Level 2 - Serving it up!

"just a few more inches and you could be aligned straight, if you were any worse at this you'd fall off the ledge", but luckily I have grown since then and realize that its still impressive even if I know I am capable of more.and then you say that about it...its a long road to loving yourself, yeah?oh and the memory thing, I feel you entirely!

Hit Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 anyone* can look good! (*anyone with $20000 worth of lighting equipment and a professional photographer). it all makes perfect sense! of course No tummy tucking or Photoshop funny business needed, only the small tweaks: light, contrast & colour. are like, the main things you'd do in photo editing anyway, so im not sure what this guys point is? you also have the girls wearing a lot of make up, and everyone is posed in visually exciting ways. the photo of the guy on the bike, for example, is virtually unrecognisable from the man pictured above thanks to large glasses, prominant helmet, and a high angle that all but obscures his body. i think its good that people who aren't photographers can see photos like that and go "oh so thats how it works", but at the same time, to say these are "unedited" or candid just because they dont use photoshop is a major stretch. 3 Quote It's the moose on the inside that counts.

I just hear people say " Well if it wasn't for photoshop, she'd look normal" and I wanted to show just what can be done without Photoshop, as long as the photographer can control everything.

kaelvan Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Today I did something crazy. I took of my sweatpants off and just wore my leggings in Zumba since it was so cold out, yet so warm in there. First few minutes I felt really self-conscious about wearing just them, but I slowly got use to it. Thank that woman who decided to just wear her sport bra, help me to push myself to do something crazy. 3 Quote “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.†~Paulo Coelho I'm a level 3 moon elf, who's an druid assassin.
