What would you change about your body? I'd like bandy legs!

I'd love bandy legs, like Kate Moss or Sarah Jessica Parker. I think they look fab and great in any style of clothing but especially skinny jeans. What would you like to be the proud owner of?

I'd like stronger teeth - mine are white and straight but gappy and cracked and full of fillings Sad

And better shaped eyebrows, mine are just horrendous, beyond help.

Ten years ago I'd have said my massive bum, but I have had enough compliments from men since that I now know it to be my finest asset Grin

UnrequitedSkink · 12/04/2013 00:12

Thick hair, I used to have it but it's gone now. And a better-defined waist. And a c-cup rather than a (small) b!!

Maybe we should have a thread about what we like? I LIKE my legs until the top of my thighs and my arms and my big smile!

Thumbwitch · 12/04/2013 00:16

A waist would be nice. I've been all sorts of weights and sizes, but have never had a waist. :(

Now I have a sort of "anti-waist", which is of course very unhealthy and needs to change - but however hard I slim down, I still won't get a waist.

Startail · 12/04/2013 00:16

Legs and face without hair where it shouldn't be.

I love swimming, I hate shaving my legs.

As for face well obviously the hairs there are unwanted and unnecessary.

Superene · 12/04/2013 00:18

I'd like to look more "expensive" without having to pay for better skincare, haircuts, gym membership, manicures etc.
But I like my height, legs and boob size. Not the muffin top and wobbliness though obv.

A reasonably flat stomach

No chin hair

CarpeVinum · 12/04/2013 00:24

I like my face to spring back where it used to be.

In fact can I just have my brain transplanted into a far younger, much better looking new body/head please.

Thank you for your kind attention in this matter.

MissFredi · 12/04/2013 00:30

I'd like an extra couple of cup sizes and slightly less of a torpedo nose!Confused

ellesabe · 12/04/2013 09:05

Smaller boobs (I'm 32HH), thicker hair, flat stomach.

BinksToEnlightenment · 12/04/2013 09:11

I'd love boobs that would not fold themselves into a strange shelf when I lie on my side. They're fine standing up. I'd also love to be able to see without glasses and to sort my crow eyes out.

But the one thing there is no hope for is my stupid invisible eyelashes. I'd have the biggest fan like thick fluttery dark eyelashes if I could.

BistoBear · 12/04/2013 09:11

Stronger, whiter, straighter teeth and perfect eyes which didn't require lenses/glasses. Imagine waking up with perfect vision and flashing a perfect white smile :)

DonDrapersAltrEgoBigglesDraper · 12/04/2013 09:21

Happy with my height, and my stomach is flat under clothes, at least. My hair is, if anything, too thick.

I would love parallel (not bandy) thighs, and I would love no muffin top. I'm working on both, Wine aside.

Pandsbear · 12/04/2013 11:12

Oooh am liking this thread. Well on a purely vanity side of things and not the medical issues I have...I would have perfect eyesight, and another 3 inches (on my legs please to balance out my looong body) and lovely thick hair. Same sort of hair only vastly more of it. Thanks.

LittleAbruzzenBear · 12/04/2013 11:17

Long thin legs, lean arms, longer eyelashes, perfect white teeth, thicker hair, toned tummy, higher cheekbones, bigger eyes......or failing that just to look how I did when I was 26!

Willow36 · 12/04/2013 11:22

My list:

Smaller boobs
Thinner face
Flat stomach
Less stretch marks
White teeth
Olive skin
Hair that was manageable
Longer legs

I think I'd just like to be someone else actually Sad

Halfling · 12/04/2013 11:40

My teefs... Crooked and with gap originally. Now ofcourse they look perfect after spending £££ on cosmetic dentistry - braces, caps, teeth extractions, root canals...

But it would have been nice if I had them naturally. I spent my teenage years using my hand to cover my mouth every time I smiled Grin

BikeRunSki · 12/04/2013 11:43

Eyes that didn't need glasses.
Quite like my rounded tummy!

Charliefox · 12/04/2013 11:46

Well teeth are clearly a theme!

OP posts:
SayMama · 12/04/2013 11:50

Oh so much!

Thinner face
Thicker hair
Smaller hips
Smaller feet (just a 6 would be nice rather than enormous 8!)
Non flabby belly

Fedupnagging · 12/04/2013 11:53

Where do I start?!

Definitely a flat stomach first, then smaller thighs, maybe whiter teeth and naturally straight hair.

giftwrappedkittycat I was also scoffing mini eggs and quaffing wine at the same time as you last night Grin

overmydeadbody · 12/04/2013 11:59

What are bandy legs?

trice · 12/04/2013 12:03

I would love muscles in my arms. I like that super sporty look.

Charliefox · 12/04/2013 12:04

These are bandy legs

And these
