Randomness

Well, my summer wardrobe that I spent all my "coin" on to buy online just came in, and it all fits! Yay! I bought it all from Victoria's Secret (Yes...they make CLOTHES too! Clothes with hidden enhancers of all shapes and sizes!). Only one problem. Now that I look like a million bucks from the neck down, what am I gonna do about the FACE?

Yuk. I'm seriously considering a paper bag. Or maybe a face lift. It's hell to be over forty.

Ah, but see, you could be young and not be able to afford a summer wardrobe.

Wow. A real person who fits into Victoria's Secret clothes. And I thought it was just my twiggy best friend. Then again, even if the tiny low-cut shirts didn't make me look like a prostitute looking for work, I couldn't afford them.

At least you have an ass. Pity those of us who are buttock deficient. We of the bony backsides who must suffer lacerations whenever we are forced to sit on wooden chairs, we who must suffer the incessant indignity of having the back of our pants spanking us with every step we take, we are the true unfortunates of the world. At least your pants will stay up.

[TPoptarts]

Ugh, nope if I was like "exotically beautiful" I'd get way more roles. Well that and if my big fat ass wasn't so big and fat

DAMMIT T'POPTARTS! WHAT DID I TELL YOU!

HEY!! Why don't you go yell at Distracted for a change!! She thinks she's old and ugly

I don't need a big fat ass for that though. A well-proportionate ass would do just fine

OMG. You poor thing. I used to date a guy who was buttock deficient.

If it's any consolation, not all women care about a guy's ass. I could care less about butt proportion. It's all about the chest and arms. Personally, I gave up on my appearance a long time ago. I'm average and I'm okay with that. At least I know that those few who have stuck around have done it because of me inside and not because I'm a beauty queen.

Nice to 'see' you, Bether!

I could never be a beauty queen anyway. I like actual food, not itty-bitty salads.

[TPoptarts]

I like salads. Salads are yum. Real food's good too. And chocolate

[CX]

Easy for you to say, Cx.

Exactly, I've seen pictues of you, including more normal ones that don't include pointed ears and fake tans and I think you look great, and this is coming from a 25 year old.

[Distracted]

Sorry I decompensated there, guys. I'd just been waiting for my clothes for a couple of weeks, and I guess I sort of had unrealistic expectations of how I'd look in them. And they really look pretty good, you know? But...did you ever make fun of the old ladies with the wrinkled faces and the long jet black hair pushing their walkers with their mini-skirts and go go boots on when you were kid? (Guess I'm dating myself again, huh?) I did. I remember I used to think "What the heck is she trying to prove?" when I saw someone like that. Well... with a good hair dye job to cover the grey I can still probably pull off the Victoria's Secret look if no one really gets too close, but when I tried on those clothes I just had this vision of myself in a couple of years, and it wasn't pretty. I'm better now, though. I've resolved to enjoy my last Victoria's Secret summer.

Hi, Bether.

[Linda]

Hey, girl, you looked better than some teenage models in your MU T'Pol outfit a year ago at that convention! Don't tell me you have deteriorated much from that. Wear whatever you want. Any negative reactions you get are probably pure envy!

[justTripn]

Distracted, go right ahead and look old in the face. You've earned it! I've earned it! We've all earned it! So I'm starting to look like my Aunt Faith. But I LIKE my Aunt Faith. And there are always restraunts with low lighting, where we can have yet one more romantic dinner as beautiful people--way into our sixties at least.

[Bether6074]

Right back at all of you! Looks like I have a lot of reading to catch up on. And what happened to the poetry section, folks? It looks all lonely and dried up. What's up with that?

[evcake]

Well, I wrote a sort of "Enterprise Good Night Moon" but I didn't actually submit it. I'm not sure how many people know the original. Also, poetry gets little respect around here. Maybe an epic on the Romulan War - in Homeric verse... Iambic pentameter...as if it were being recited on a generational starship headed for Andromeda...hmmm...maybe Rigil would let us base it on his stories, and each poet could take a chapter...anyone for blank verse?

Perhaps someone should make up a new challenge. You, perhaps?

Coming from the 44 year old that looks like a 24 year old.

[Bether6074]

To me, "beauty" is in the heart anyway, not the skin. If you feel it, you are it. Maybe I should just go and work on that poetry page or something.
