Hi Stefan,

Very much so, if the person is dead.

Dark Blacks turn shiny bluish black. Pinks turn a lovely shade of
lavender. Tans and Goldens turn to a gorgeous stone-washed denim
color.

Again, this is not my field, but I can think of many different
cultures in which various body parts are what you are calling
disproportional.

And if entire cultures have this body shape, and have had it for as
long as we've had a history of the culture, you'd still call this
disproportional?

I'm trying to decide if I agree with this statement or not. I'm
thinking of cultures that have some particular distinctive
attribute, one which they do not like. I'm wondering if their
dislike is more a result of "internalized" racism - a cultural
"inferiority complex" of some sort - or whether it comes from what
you are suggesting above.

She doesn't look good to YOU, Stefan. I can tell you there are MANY
who think she looks just GGGRRRRREEEEAT!!!

> Fat women may have big breasts - ok for them.

What about non-fat, large, strong, tall, muscular Amazon women? Are
they allowed to have big breasts? If they are "proportional?" Or are
you saying that all breasts  should either be small or be "cured" of
their affliction?

Actually, this is not true. Having worked with many a man who would
have given his, well, left leg, to have something bigger than the
skinny legs nature gave him - I can tell you it can't be done.
Calves are next to impossible to build up to any great extent.
(Unless of course you use drugs). And if you happen to have skinny
leg muscles AND you have long limbs and muscles as well - then
forget it.

As far as "curing" other "disproportional" body parts - I don't
think so, Stefan. How are you supposed to make a long torso shorter?

Or flat breasts bigger, for that matter?

> the whole
> society believes in "bigger is better".

If I wanted to be a little malicious, at this point I would say,
"Size Matters." But I won't.

> Women aren't cows so why do they need a big udder?

To attract a lovely big bull?

I'm afraid Mr. Ratliff doesn't think so.

Thank you for all your Pollyanna comments. :) I love them. :D

Love Liza
