'cause my house fell down and I can't live there no more

Running the advents a couple days back, and I ran across this lass. Lady, that can't be good for your skin. Or your health. It's cold out.



I'd bring up the baby hands deal, but I'm more worried she's going to get frostbite on her tender bits.



Also, how does she walk in those?

People and their hobbies...she did have one good quote in her profile, though.

"If you're in a relationship and all you do is cry every day, you need to stop and ask yourself, am I dating a human or an onion?"

It's a good question.

In other wanderings, I came across this spraddle-hipped individual:



Hoo, boy. So on the plus side, she didn't seem to complete the look with the pouty fish lips and the narrow eyes that was mysteriously so popular a few years back, but...the hips are still wrong. No woman, who is not anorexic, on the planet, has a thigh gap like this. Because human legs are not square. They're curved. Even with those individuals thin enough so that one can see scenery behind them through those legs, there are still curves. Perceive:



A reasonably fit model on a tropical beach somewhere. Note the curves.



A (very) young model, in a portfolio shot. She does seem to have a fairly rectangular gap, but note that that is in clothes. It can clearly be seen that without them (and even in those pants, this can clearly be seen), she would also have curves, just less of them.



An anorexic patient (note presence of hospital bed, those terrifyingly protruding hip bones, and the fact that her inner knees have been bandaged because the bones rubbing under such thin, fragile skin was causing damage). This is the closest we will ever see to the once oft-imitated rectangular thigh gap in Second Life, only...this is on a real person. A real, very unhealthy person. And even she still has (limited) perceivable curves, because humans are designed with padding. And even starving ourselves down to non-viability will only reduce that padding so much.



From the back it's not as bad, at least at certain angles. But again, it's such a weird shape to go for--I'm truly glad she didn't go for the upsetting pouty face, but this combination of extraordinary curves and that thigh gap is just so unnatural that it stands out, jarringly, every time.
