Correction, you don’t have to be tiny, to look good, however, you may want to find clothing that is flattering, and doesn’t make you look like you are nine months and expecting. Cool shades though.

Hi, that’s me in the photo and I look beautiful. I don’t know if you’ve ever actually seen a pregnant woman (it sounds like you haven’t). But I think it’s fairly obvious that I’m just fat.

I’m not offended or hurt by what you are saying, because I live a charmed life and I am loved (maybe your words could hurt me if I somehow didn’t know that I was attractive or desirable), and it doesn’t matter if someone on the internet thinks my outfit is unflattering. I am bothered by your need to say nasty things about other women as if you think there isn’t an actual real person who is capable of reading your words. 

What difference does it really make to you what I wear/what my body looks like, and why do you feel the need to be critical of the bodies and appearances of other people?

Mostly I’m just embarrassed for you that you’re so rude. I can’t imagine how awful it must be to know that you’re a total dickhead. The guilt and shame alone must be agonizing.

Still one of the best things I’ve read on here. And the girl’s super cute.

she is fucking beautiful.

Its like these people don’t realize we all know that “flattering” is code for “does everything possible to hide your fat body from those who disapprove of it”. Their standards of “flattering” are constructed out of explicit hostility to our bodies. We should feel absolutely no obligation to honor what they think would be “flattering” on us, even when they hold out these false promises of acceptance if we just do as we’re told.

Or, as Gisela Ramirez put it much more succinctly, fuck flattering.
