I was blowing up pictures yesterday...(a regular activity for me) and there was this obnoxious TA working that I am not too fond of. [Previous history involving her: She commented that my former college was evil due to the "fanatical Christians" and asked if that was why I left. I was like..."no, THAT part didn't bother me." She was classically, and mercifully, silent after that. I suspect she was probably unable to speak while chewing on her foot.]
Anyway, this girl was there. We will call her Audrey. You may suspect that I am choosing this name randomly if you like, but I'm not. It is her real name.
Audrey is not fat, but neither is she thin. While her upper half is pretty good, her middle has flubbies. And because of this, I simply HAVE to rip on her choice of clothes. She was wearing a tight shirt that said "hottie" with flames behind it. It ended just above her bellybutton and had strings holding the sides together. She was also wearing tight, lowriding jeans.
Aesthetic results: Fat was being squeezed out over the top of her jeans, and stretch marks lined her back and stomach from the end of the jeans to the beginning of the shirt. Apparently, she decided we needed more air, for she climbed up onto the counter to close the window. This was an extremely disturbing activity for her, though, for it involved leaning over. (Yeah, I can just see the shock and horror on your faces.) LEANING OVER! That just means all the fat lumps together into an appalling mass of flub. Right before my eyes! Shock was all that prevented me from crying out in horror.
I was unable to erase the memory from my mind, so I told my roommate about it. She informed me of something that I can only look on as some sort of sin. "That's ok now, " she said, watching my eyes widen as I tried to stammer out the revulsion I felt upon seeing Audrey's fat on display. Andey went on to explain that people were COMFORTABLE with their bodies and ENJOYED flaunting their fat.
THAT IS DISGUSTING!!!
I have NO WISH to see anyone's stretch mark laden love handles. If any of you have such things--HIDE THEM!! GRACIOUS! Be pround? NO! Deny their existence, attempt to develop other more pleasing attributes, but do NOT FLAUNT YOUR FLUBBIES!
As Andey says, "That's fucken disgusting."
For the viewing pleasure of all...don't be gross...cover your flub.
