Skindeep, your mother was totally right! You sound like one hot mamacita!!!!

Anyways point of these posts are that, she's gorgeous and sucessfull yeah she has small breasts but they are beautiful and she's probably got a lot more money and a better life than the horrible people like my so called friend that put people down for there lack of breasts.

someone obviously found her sexy and tbh I find that sexy.

Shit yeah, grrlfriend. A thousand times, "yeah!"

and for as long as i can remember people have had trouble deciding whether i'm hispanic or middle eastern. anyway, i got kinda self conscious about my nose again for a little, and i was texting my aunt about it and how my nose makes me feel odd looking, to which she replied, "you're not odd looking, you're exotic!"

DeeRayy I know EXACTLY how you feel, I am Brasilian and people here in the UK always ask me if i'm Indian or Asian and it used to really get to me because growing up I used to get called names for it and i'd feel really down about it. Becuase i was so proud that i'm Brasilian and because it's seen to be quite a sexy thing it upset me for people to think that I was from elsewhere.

Also like you i've had issues with my nose as it is quite big and pointy and it curves down at the end, In highschool a boy used to tell me that I needed a nose job and I used to be made fun of for my skin colour as I am quite dark also, My mother used to tell me that one day people would envy my dark skin and pay a lot of money to be the same colour as me and they'd never get there, I never used to believe her. But now I get comments on how lucky I am to be tanned all year round and how beautiful my skin colour is.

Anyway thinking about it I thought how beautiful Indian women are and how I shouldn't take it as an offence, If I was over in Brasil I know i'd fit in and look Brasilian, But I quite like being the "Exotic" one and looking different as you pointed out.

I hope you love your nose and small boobs because you're a beautiful person, as are all the ladies on this thread.

Hello ladies,
I was browsing Google today and I stumbled across Agyness Deyn the supermodel, Anyway I'd like to point out how small her breasts are and how beautiful she is:

http://www.modelsblog.info/content/2008/07...agness-deyn.jpg - I once stumbled across this picture with a so called friend (we aren't friends anymore she was one of those friends that likes to belittle you) and she shouted out "oh my god she's disgusting look at her she looks like a man, she has no boobs at all, thats not sexy thats just wrong"
not realising my insecurities obviously well i hope not anyway, but from then on I didn't feel like I could talk to her about it, that and her comments about how depressing it must be for me to have small breasts.

OMG, I had that poster on my wall as a teen!!!!!!!!!! I hadn't thought about it in years. Until now. And yes, I totally have to agree with that writer. While I like the kindof bod in that poster, honestly a "perfect" body gets boring to me after awhile--I like the things that set people apart, make them unique. My husband is a totally differnt body type than I was attracted to most of my life (he's a big dude, huge shoulders, tall--what you'd call a "brick shithouse," and literally twice my weight. Funny thing is, he has a "tire" around the middle that he hates, but honestly, I just don't care. When I look hard I say, "Oh yes, he does have side-fat you can see from the back, and kind of a roll when he bends over" but I dunno, it's like, given the big picture, I'm too busy noticing the tight butt, strong shoulders, arms, hands, legs, sexy eyes and smile to give a shit. His tummy fat is what makes him, well, him.

This was beautiful, karategrrl. Asfor the poster, i'll bet you could find one on E-bay.

I agree that link was a really good read... although I have to admit one of the first thoughts that came to my mind was just how awkward it would be for me to stumble upon a blog written by one of MY professors where he refers to his "throbbing erection." LOL! Oh my!

I screwed up the link. Thanks for letting me know, Kera. Fixed, here:

we can fall short of the unattainable ideal and still be wanted. That doesn’t mean we have a right to be desired by a particular person. But it does mean we all – men and women alike – need to remember that what is sexy often has very little to do with what the media insists is beautiful. And we need to be good about reassuring each other of that simple truth.

I agree Kera.

I am just stunned how, in her darkest hours, she was reduced to her body parts by her partner. Reading the article gave me a different perspective on my mother's situation to get implants. She always wanted to seen as 'perfect' ... because perfection is supposed to be protected, rewarded and loved.

[KeraBear]

To solve the problem of body self-hatred, we have to critique sexist thinking, militantly oppose it, and simultaneously create new ways of seeing ourselves.

Wow.... this piece affected me deeply. Maybe it is cause this poor woman was the same age as i am right now when she got implants...

oh yeah, and i want to punch her ex-husband in the face. POW! WHAMMO!

anarch... your link didn't work for me.

[nbdx0645]

Popping in and seeing this after a really frustrating day:
"Real women are fat. And thin. And both, and neither, and otherwise. Doesn’t make them any less real."

So awesome. Just what I needed to hear.

Wouldn't a more appropriate title be "ridiculously stooopid breast-obsessed culture support group"? Just sayin'...

Ha! More <3 <3

Anne_Ecdote, thanks for that link. I'm so angry at her husbands.

Here's another that y'all might like:

We do that here. I am grateful for every one o' youse.

And also, I would add to that linked piece, we need to smack down the assholes who buy into the bullshit.

i've been doing more time thinking about what my boobs might say to me if they were personified (i know, i have waaaaaay too much time on my hands. LOL!). I was thinking they might be rather offended that i am participating in a forum titled, "small breast support group". I mean the name sort of implies that having small boobs is a problem, doesn't it? Wouldn't a more appropriate title be "ridiculously stooopid breast-obsessed culture support group"? Just sayin'...

oh! and thanks for the love, grrrls! *blushing* I love you too!

[strongirl]

Totally agree with:

1) Kera is extremely loveable!

2) That link was awesome - uplifting, witty, analytical writing in the fine feminist tradition! Thanks, Anarch!

[karategrrl]

Derrr...multitasking and posting while on too-quick work break! Forgive me. And yeah, you are quite loveable!!!

[KeraBear]

Kera,

Great link!!! Thanks!

Well, thanks. Buuuuut... that was from Anarch. I can see the confusion though. The end of her message looks like a signature, but it is actually a proclamation of small boobie love to yours truly. I AM pretty loveable aren't I?

That said, i agree. Good link!

[karategrrl]

Kera,

Great link!!! Thanks!
