To console myself that all the flat tummed, bronzed legged women I saw today weren't very pretty facially?

Shallow maybe, but not unreasonable

You're being a bitch

They do say that after a certain age, you can either look after your arse or your face but not both.

At least it was flat tummed, bronzed legged people you saw! All I saw was acres of muffin tops and white white legs in very skimpy shorts - and the white legs weren't slim either

I saw a long legged, tanned pretty woman today, but she was orange so it doesn't count. Croc wearers don't count either.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 06/05/2008 17:15

Gah where I live everyone in the park with cchildren looks like a model.
And a proper model, not a glamour or moggle model. It is very depressing.

cornsilk · 06/05/2008 17:15

I would move.

Twinkie1 · 06/05/2008 17:17

Ha ha - once saw DH looking at this stunning woman pushing a buggy and consoled myself that the woman had the most ugly child in it - hey I may not be a stunner but I have beautiful kids!

I did tackle him on it and he said he was looking at her dress as he thought it would look nice on me - lying twunt!!!

if you were to do a random sample of skinny people and another random sample of fatty people. then you would probably find far far more pretty faces inthe sample of fatty people than the skinny people.
that is how i justify my muffin top

VictorianSqualor · 06/05/2008 17:18

LOL, that's what DP says about lindsay lohan, that I look like her and what she is wearing/how her hair is/her make-up etc would suit me, yeah yeah shhhh and put your tongue away

Thank you. You've reminded me that I can't wear a dress tonight- have no fake tan in and translucent legs!

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 06/05/2008 17:23

It's not summer yet, get some black opaque tights on!

Iamthedoctor · 06/05/2008 18:19

All I got to look at was the old lady opposite us, who was sunbathing TOPLESS. Put me right off my lunch.

TheDevilWearsPenneys · 06/05/2008 18:25

My mil has sunbathed topless on family holidays and why not?

She's 'a sort' but I'd hate to feel a stranger would judge her.

Iamthedoctor · 06/05/2008 18:27

Why not indeed. Wrinkly old woman at the end of MY garden, hardly sunbathing on the beach.

(I don't mind really, I just stayed away from kitchen window!)

TheDevilWearsPenneys · 06/05/2008 18:29

But it 'put it off your lunch' you will be that woman sooner than you imagine.
(though maybe not so exhibitionist)

Iamthedoctor · 06/05/2008 18:33

Puts head in hands and sobs

Thanks for that reality kick!

TheDevilWearsPenneys · 06/05/2008 18:36

Sorry I get them all the time.
My mil is all up for comparing boobs and stretch marks etc.

Iamthedoctor · 06/05/2008 18:38

My MIL is STUNNING. As opposed to FIL, with his knobbly knees, bless him. And he wears speedos on holiday.

Please give me the sympathy I deserve..
