So what do YOU look like?

[cybertheo]

Thank you so much, it took some work.
An hour on an Eliptical 5 times a week for about 3 months and eating well.
I purchased a gym grade machine and put it next to my computer so I can listen to music or watch movies. I have Madonna and Erasure to thank for getting me through those hours.
I never had to work out to stay fit until a really bad car accident/blow to the head left me overweight and with some memory loss. I went from a 32" waist to 38" waist and have no memory of gaining the weight.

Where are you from, WallyB? My mom's family is from Old Town.

Greenville / Moosehead lake area.
Then I escaped to Boston - been here about 26 years now.
But Paul and I have a second house up there on a lake.

Good for you!
I did a very similar weight loss "journey" so I can relate -
except for the car accident part
I'm going to give credit to the B52s, Scissor Sisters, Janet Jackson
and some Grace Jones for helping me threw.

Hi all. Finally got my pics developed from when I went to go see The Little Mermaid in Denver before it opened on Broadway. Here's a picture of me and Sierra Boggess (who plays Ariel).

Rosie, you're so pretty! Actually, you guys are all fabulous

No one wants to see my ugly mug, so I'll spare you all!

Just listen to the description of myself instead:

Brown hair (medium length and color).

Blonde/red streaks in said brown hair.

DARK brown eyes (like, dark chocolate dark).

Short (not even 5', and I'm a teenager. Who is not getting any taller.) :'(

The rest is not worth remarking on.

:'( I hate the way I look!

Amanda! Please don't think that way about yourself. First: I'm short too, both my daughters are taller than me and my husband towers over me. I have learned to embrace the quirky things about my appearance that I can't change...and while I've never considered myself to be "beautiful or pretty", I think i'm cute enough AND most importantly..I LIKE who I am.
I want you to like yourself too. Promise me you'll try to focus and all your wonderful qualities, and let the world see who you really are, past your brown hair and tiny stature.

I Love Grace - "I'm not perfect - but I'm perfect for you" will be going through my head for the rest of the day!

Nothing special. Overweight and otherwise exceedingly average. Average brown hair, average brown eyes, average light skin......average, boring.

Hi ya'll! I love this Board!

This is me and my adorable piebald - Sir Andouille Louis Landry-Hale -

We were in the staging area for the Barkus Parade 2007. The theme was "A Street Dog Named Desire".

On Andy's float were the words "I'm a Street Dog Full of Desire and all da
B****es love me".

We had a great time.

For Ms. Amanda:

Rosie is so right - Girl, I know I'm not the prettiest girl in the room but you know what? I think and act like I am and it's good.

Just take a gander at that picture of mine - here I am an overweight woman, with her dog, in a red satin bustier, boostier...oh you know what I mean, ready to parade through the French Quarter.

Darlin', beauty comes in all sizes, shapes and is not limited to the physical.

This I know and I hope you will too someday.

Amanda,

Love yourself for who you are, not what you look like!

The sooner you can do that, the better off you will be! Trust me! We are all beautiful in our own way!

And yes, Rosie is a little hottie!

I'm gonna call you to task too. There is absolutely nothing average about you.
I read your posts...you're exceedingly kind, generous and fun.

One of the things I like most about this human race of ours is that we come in such various shapes, sizes and colors. It makes us interesting and unique. Not to disparage anyone who is thin but I personally do not find all those ultra thin starlets attractive. They look half starved and seem like they'll blow away from the first good wind.

I say bring back the Rubanesque Era!!!! Those women were beautiful!!!

(also...what does this say about me when the gay men find me attractive..but the women not so much???? )
