Breasts bums and muffin tops!

I have a competition with friends to see who is 1st to spot the shirtless male on a sunny day! This species is usually scrawny & pale

Short sleeved below knee shirt dresses are back in fashion.... hooray. Got a couple of linen ones from TK Maxx.

I have just returned from Cyprus, on show upper arms all shapes and sizes, midriffs again multi sized, lots of pregnancy bumps some covered some in bikinis, tattoos. Women of all ages.

Whatever shape or size all I noted was the smiles and confidence of these women, and beautiful and colourful clothes (wish I knew where they found them).

It's difficult to cover up your bingo wings or ghastly bloated knees if most fashionable clothes are either sleeveless or above the knee in length. Bombshell make wonderful dresses, in light cotton too, but they are for women with a cleavage, which I don't have. They are also a bit too flamboyant for everyday wear. There is now a trend for tent style unwaisted dresses, but I would look ridiculous in them, so what does a girl wear besides chinos and boring long- sleeved tops?

@BradfordLass72 I completely agree with you!

I will wear what I want, when I want and if someone doesn’t like it, tough.

Whether fat, skinny, wrinkly, saggy or drop dead gorgeous, you should be able to wear anything you like!

How dare others judge - I was always taught that it’s nice to be nice.

I’m surprised at some of the remarks on here.
Surprised and disappointed to be honest.

I think it's automatic Rufus.

Re chapel hat pegs ---Ladies headlights on full beam
Allass; Thanks for the clarification. I couldn't imagine this thread going "churchey", but as a courtesy do they get lowered, i.e. dipped, on sight of an approaching gentleman, or does Mother Nature do it automatically?

Re chapel hat pegs ---Ladies headlights on full beam...

Some people indeed some cultures would regard said body parts and display of, to be most appropriate.

The subject of this forum was breasts and bums in warm weather and that was what my post this morning was about. Nothing to do about overweight people. Just that this person was emphasising by inappropriate attire these parts of her anatomy.

Do you have to be quite so insulting Bijou? Your derogatory comments say more about you than the overweight people you are describing.

In doctors surgery this morning tall fat woman in skin tight clinging dress with apparently nothing underneath looked just like Michelin man.

once quite unavoidably got a close up of one such
Witzend; I was just passing on my way to cook (unfreeze!) my evening dinner, but how can you "unavoidably" witness such a scene? And what's with "chapel pegs", or should I "MYOB"?. Think dinner awaits so moving on whilst I have some appetite left!

Bijou similar sights in our town centre.

I was waiting at the supermarket checkout yesterday and just looking around as you do, when I noticed a young woman at the next checkout packing her shopping. She was dressed casually, like me, but she had this thin vest top on. As someone earlier said, your gaze has to fall somewhere and it was obvious she was not wearing a bra. Nothing wrong with that, but she did have the 'chapel hat pegs' look about her. For all I know she may have been thinking 'I wish I'd have put my bra on'! Maybe she'd just been in the cold aisle! BTW I used to go braless when younger and still do in my garden, but mine never stood out like that!

Men in shorts, socks with sandals whatever don't bother me. Don't think I'd like to get an eyeful when someone bends down showing half their bum though!

There were certainly some sights today in town. One fat woman had tight short shorts and tattoos on her bottom. Many bare midriffs and tattoos galore. Alternatively some elderly people were in anoraks and wool hats.
It was warm in the sun but chilly in the shade, only 14 degrees, and a chilly wind.
I wore a dress and light jacket.

Worst sight for me is blokes with their trousers/shorts at half mast, especially if they're bending over for any reason and you get an eyeful of horrible hairy crack. I once quite unavoidably got a close up of one such, whose sheer grossness still haunts me!

Thanks. Well it hasn't been a walk in the park that's for sure.

I am very friendly with two ladies and we have often gone on holiday together. One friend is lovely and slim and my other friend is a large lady. I am somewhere in between. We all seem to eat about the same amount and yet we are all such different sizes. I cant understand it. I do know however, how sensitive my larger friend is about her weight and how hurt she is if someone says anything disparaging. She can remember unkind comments from years ago. I suppose that is why I dont like hearing anybody say (or write) anything unkind about larger people. She does always dress appropriately and beautifully though and takes great care of her appearance.

Lily65- totally agree, which is why I try not to bitch.

KatyK - I had a dear friend who lost her hair, hated wearing a wig but couldn’t be seen without it. ?

Every man, woman and dog knows that if you overeat you get fat. Life is slightly more complicated than some smug people would have us believe.
People overeat for all sorts of reasons.

KatyK sounds like you have a had a really tough time.

Is it unkind if we don’t say anything out loud that could cause offence?

GrannyGravy, I completely agree with you. I cannot see the need to be so unkind and judgemental about other people.
