Bloody things. Everywhere. Cliche. Dull
But fat arms backs ew.
And back hamsters.

USUAL DISCLAIMERS:

No it's not my business.
Yes I'm a cow
No they shouldn't wear burkas

And looking nice is quite worthless if you don't have a personality to match.

Well said, BelleTheBeatnik!

I would love to see a troll in a strapless frock. That hairy back and those hairy toes peeping out. Very cute.

TheVermiciousKnid · 14/07/2012 16:44

But does it matter what size the troll it, Frontpaw?

AnnaMosity · 14/07/2012 16:44

Lol at pies. :)

The fatter the better...

Wasn't Marilyn Monroe a size 16... And that pink strapless frock in 'Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend' - wow!

my wedding dress was strapless it was a size 12 i dont think i looked fat at all tbh in fact probably the only photos i have that i think i look nice in

There was a picture of kelly osbourne in a sleeveless dress. It looked like she had a vagina under her arm.

Neverknowingly...your cakes are amazing.

The size 16 Marilyn thing is a myth. She had a 22 inch waist. Modern day size 16 waist is about 34 inches is it not?

tethersend · 14/07/2012 16:52

They look good on nobody.

Everybody looks better with straps or sleeves.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 14/07/2012 16:52

Marilyn Monroe was NOT a current day size 16 fgs.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 14/07/2012 16:52

Marilyn Monroe was NOT a current day size 16 fgs.

Could we also ban white wedding dresses?

They are just a long-lasting fashion trend.

Damn that Victoria and her bad taste

And while we're on the topic. EXFOLIATE THINE UPPER ARMS

Corn beef does not look good

Chubfuddler · 14/07/2012 16:55

My wedding dress had thick straps but I wish it had had sleeves. Mind you it was a very hot day so I would have roasted.

MM was NOT a size 16. I wish I knew where that nonsense came from. I am a 14/16 and about six inches taller than she was. She was about the same size as kylie minogue ffs.

tethersend · 14/07/2012 16:56

I lament the lack of a sleeve in everyday life.

Frontpaw · 14/07/2012 16:56

Really? Hang on... Off to google.

Ok she was a 12 - not sure if that was UK or UK... Off to google some more... 36-23-37. Shit, I had a figure once, sigh.... That would be an 8 and not a 0!

Average size: now waist 30' hips 36, in the 1950s it was waist 27.5, hips 39.

cybbo · 14/07/2012 16:56

Most gals have to be told they look "sssssstunning" on their wedding day with the ssssss over pronounced

pommedechocolat · 14/07/2012 16:57

Hate strapless wedding dressed full stop. Why are they do popular???

Lace wedding dresses going the same way now.

Frontpaw · 14/07/2012 16:57

Has anyone been to a wedding where the bride wore trousers?

Chubfuddler · 14/07/2012 16:58

does this look like a size 16 to you?
