- actually, mine is a venus of willendorf inspired glass goddess (cobalt
- blue, my favorie and person symbol, in glass anyway - gems it's
- garnets), whom i refer to as the Big Boobs Goddess. i gave orny a
- larger one in the same color as an xmas present, and she is now hanging
- from the rear view mirror of his car. *grin*
-
- i don't care if it rains or hails, so
- long as i got my blue glass ailsa
- hanging o'er the dashboard of my car...
-
- *grin*
-
- i liek images of fat women ( i NEVER call myself "overweight". over
- WHOSE weight? over WHAT weight? i'm fat, and very cuddly too...), and
- one sees more and more of them lately. i was at the ASB party at arisia
- (a science fiction convention that was just held in boston), and there
- were a LOT of really sexy fat women there, and usually my type is the
- thin androgynous athletic type. who said lace bodysuits were only for
- thin women? B)
-
- pity one almost never sees contemporary drawings or artwork of fat
- goddesses. most of the goddess drawings i have seen are of lithe
- willowy dears. no muscles, no fat. *sigh* why do our deities need to
- look like fashion models? how come you never see pictures of teh
- goddess as a PLAIN woman, for that matter? or as a not-goodlooking but
- at the same time not menacing woman? when i picture my goddess, i see a
- big middle aged black woman, with muscular arms and legs, and a good
- deal of fat on her, who is beautiful because she IS, not because of any
- perfection of features... and i mean specifically big boobs, a big gut,
- wide hips and a big soft butt. and she's one tough old bird, too. she
- doesn't put up with much whining though. she made me walk five miles
- home from the mall once cos i missed the last bus. i kept ASKING her to
- send me a ride, but she said "tough shit, girl. you need the excercise,
- so move your lazy feet. it's a nice day. what are you complaining
- about?"
