Which dreams indeed are ambition, for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.

:star: New Stuff :star:
I have spent this day thinking over the events that have occurred to someone that I look up to and admire, as do many others. Realizing that although this incident has happened to her and her alone it still does not hold itself from effecting the communities and those attached to them.
What is it I speak of you ask, why the cruel words spoken without a moments thought that condemned  a woman for her looks. Are we so far in the dark ages that still there are those that lash tongue upon others who do not look as the minor majority of the worlds population does?
Oh yes, you heard me right. You might see more of them, the people small and starving, bones protruding at times, sunken shallow souls lost in societies make shift  new age plastic Barbie doll, life size and complete with moving parts. Dressed in the latest fashions off the runways of Paris  where the crowds cheer and roar for the pencil wasted woman who turns sideways and vanishes. Now mind you I have nothing against these people, fashion designers and fashion models all have their place in society, and to walk the runway displaying yourself before the crowds so that you may be pointed at and every tiny flaw drowned in a ray of flash bulbs and closed mouth gasps of shock as though they are horrified to see that there is a spot of cellulite or a freckle where it shouldn't be does take a lot of patience and strength of will. But now, where was I…  oh yes, the fact that those who mock us are actually out numbered in the worlds overall stats. You see, perhaps it is us with our rounded backsides and full figured hips, well endowed bosoms that would never need adding to should be sitting here pointing at you. After all it would only be the fair thing to do don't you think?
Does anyone stop to think that when you look at us there is a reason for our abundant size? That it does not all have to do with food intake and gorging at the trough as some have put it. I know why I am overweight. My mother, father, grandparents all were. I have an eating disorder to top it off, but it isn't overeating. No that would be a lot simpler to fix and handle. You see thanks to the many mindless asshats who are out there in droves of laughter and name calling to others I developed a mental complex that I was always being watched and whispered about even when I was not. I starved myself to the point  of dehydration and collapse in order to lose weight just to please the eyes of those around me. All it afforded me was my body shutting down, constantly  storing anything and everything that it could  when I did eat so that it was there because it never knew when I was going to feed it again. That is what happens you know, it has been medically proven that when you do not eat as you should, that when you do your body will not process it, instead it stores it away like a chipmunk does nuts for the winter. It does this because it does not know if you will be going to eat or drink anything ever again. It is a hidden survival method within the body's mechanics. One that causes me to have more problems then I should. And nice to know I have those who point fingers and snickered at me, who called names and downed me all my life to thank for such a wonderful thing.
Thank you, oh yes, thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for the names you called when I was in school, the laughter and the teasing. For being excluded from things that all normal kids ( who are societies acceptable ) get to do. Thank you for scaring me and tormenting me to the point of hiding myself away from the world.
Shakes head…. Have you gotten the point yet people? Have you?  Those of this society who deem it necessary to speak vulgarity to another because they are fat is one of the lowest forms of self superiority that could ever exist. That is why you do it you know. You mock us for being fat, for taking more room then you do in this world, for living as we are be it by choice or not. You mock us to make yourself seem better in your mind, but all it does in truth dear misguided ones…. All it does is prove to the rest of the world, that you are an ignorant, intolerant  unlearned mind whom we should all feel sorry for because you missed that big boat that went down the world as all things were made. It was the boat that carried your kindness, you compassion, your forgiveness and love of your fellow mankind.
I feel sorry for those who are out there who feel the need to degrade others for some reason or another… it makes me want to ask them what happened in their life that was so painful and so tormenting that in order to live through it and remain somewhat in control, they have to pick upon the other people in society.
We get it everyone. We do. WE ARE FAT… and there are some who are intolerant of it. But guess what? We are also proud, and we are loving. We are strong and we are friendly. We have thoughts and creativity, passion and light within us to rival against anything that comes our way. We bleed like you do, we feel like you do, we cry and hurt and sorrow as you do.
In closing I have one thing to say, knowing now that this does not go out to every person in the world, only those with closed minds… but to those closed minds I say:
GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE AND GET A LIFE. Leave us to ours, if you do not like it, no one is forcing you to look, to comment or anything else. Remember, we are all human and we all deserve to live.

:star:Stock Model:star:
Lucias is one of Deviant Arts most popular Stock Models. Her sweet face and vivid expressions make her a most valued model for all us artists that rummage through the galleries looking for that one perfect image. But did you know, Lucias is not only a model but an artist as well. Visit her non stock account where her mind takes over instead of the camera


Mizzd is a talent hidden within two areas of being. her flare for dramatics in photography for her stock account is only outdone by the art she creates in her other account. Mizzd has managed to do what very few others can, and that my friends is find a balance between the stock model and the artist. Check out her stocks and see the wide range of creative and lovingly done images to satisfy your every whim in art creating... but then, be sure to check out the artwork she creates as well for it will indeed slip you past the normal senses and into a realm of awe inspired wonder.


What a rehead!!! So many poses, so much to offer. Versatility beyond anything you could think of. Looking for that soft and sensual additive with dream like features, take a look at this lovely lady!!

WOW - good for you Angela! That was a hell of a post, and I completely agree. There are far more of us curvaceous women in the world than the anorexic 2% plastered across our media. When I see these girls trotted out as the face of health and beauty, my first thought is to get that girl a sandwich. It is *not* healthy, nor beautiful.

I've watched both my older sisters suffer eating disorders (one is anorexic, one bulimic) for years, and vowed I'd never be that way. I fully accept that I will never be a petite size 2, and I don't want to be! I LOVE having curves, and if I work to lose weight it's purely for my own health's sake. I know my husband and my family won't love me any more or less for not looking like a supermodel - they're not that superficial and neither am I.

So screw the past and the insignificant bullies who hate themselves so much they can only find comfort in making others miserable. I've seen far too many "beautiful people" who are some of the ugliest human beings imaginable inside, and once their looks fade they're absolute tragedies. All form, and no substance. That's not us - and I'm glad of it! :hug:
