    There were so many other perfectly valid ways to photograph this thing. The possibilities were endless, but they chose this angle, this model, this whole…situation.

    I will thank the creator of the universe every day that they did. HOT.

      I think this was one of the first things I saw here, after being up at 3am with a large bottle of cough syrup and much cackling.
      So after this post in review of last year.

      The angle. 100% You just don’t pose bikinis spread legged. Many things in life you can do, and some you just shouldn’t.

      But that could explain how she got the stretchmarks, you know..if she does that pose a lot..nevermind. Thinking inside the box?? Ehh?? I’ll go now before I make any more trashy puns. (ehh??)

        The stretchmarks, the flab – none of this matters. Everybody’s body is fucked up, and if it isn’t? If your body is perfect and flawless from every angle? Fuck you. Everybody hates you and you already know this. Go live on another planet with the rest of the imaginary perfect people, you fuckin’ loser.

        The point is, we’ve all got our mushy spots, and our stretched out areas, and our patches of grossness. It’s fine to feel good about yourself! But DON’T spread your gooch out and stretch a piece of wool floss across it and slap it up on etsy and try to charge somebody ninety five dollars to own that piece of floss.

        Sell that shit to the fetish market where it belongs, badass. You can get a lot more for it there, and you can charge EXTRA for the smell.

            Perhaps it’s the gin…there’s a theme here with the clink of cubes, the gallon of cough syrup last year.

            So I agree?? I don’t think it’s the model, cause she clearly has the confidence. But I’m just not sold on what might have been a cute (itchy) bikini (that I could never ever ever wear)

            I mean it was like….”does this pose look like I am ready to receive oral sex?” “No? Okay, I’ll spread a little more, but try to keep my flesh eating bacteria out of the photo.”

            But it does explain why, on my first trip to Oregon, I went to a Goa party, and a girl was dancing with no shirt on, but wearing a scarf.

      My grandmother always said that if you show something to everyone, it isn’t special. So, my advice to the nice gal in the picture is that if she is proud of her taint, and she wants to show it to someone, show it to that group of people who might want to see it! That would be the people who, um, aren’t me — for example.

      I think she was feeling self conscious about the belly, so she thought “If I lay back, it’ll flatten out!” but really it just spreads out and makes it look like, from a distance, there are stray pubes poking out of the bikini. And don’t even get me started about the spread-eagled pose.

      She could have done a lot better.

      I’m not so sure. Granted…there are some flaws, real people without photoshop have those.

      Anyways…the more I look…God Help Me, I did…it looks like she was laying on that blanket and kneeling on it.
      Look at the texture of the blanket, now look at the “rash”. I think someone was getting their hippy freak on and this picture is post coitus.

        I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt and assuming its from sitting on the crocheted blanket at some strange angle. Not as strange as the angle the cameraman has found, though.

        I have taken pictures just as (or perhaps less) flattering as this, and I find myself arousingly attractive. The camera is a poor substitute for human perception. And I’m sure she looks nice when conscious!

        And even if its eczema, that’s not so bad, just a lot of extra skin cells. And if you do think it is so bad, then its time for a personal inventory, asshole. We are all disgusting, nauseating creatures.

            Thank you.

            My second child was a 10 lb. 13 oz. baby boy, and starting at around 7 months, people were asking if I were due any day now. And then if I was having twins. I was ENORMOUS.

            Now, I still have a bit of weight on, but my stretch marks have faded away to almost nothing, and my belly button looks pretty normal.

            Did I slather anything on my belly? HELL, NO. I’ve researched this enough (about 5 minutes) to know that science doesn’t back that shit up. You get what you get and there’s not much you can do about it. I’m just fortunate enough to have decent skin genes.

    Is THIS BIKINI the one I’ll receive if I order it?

    Why isn’t she standing? Wouldn’t that give a better idea of how the set fits?

    …the model is blind, right? That’s the only logical explanation I can think of for allowing such an unflattering picture to go on the internet for the whole world to see.

Is it a cry for help for a nasty case of contact dermatitis? Is this supposed to be a celebration of womynhood or however the heck they spell it? I just don’t get it.

Hell, I don’t like looking at rail-thin models with their ribs sticking out, but I wouldn’t suggest that they should be ashamed to post their pictures. Different people find different things attractive. *shrug*

        Of course, when you have a product to sell, you do need to be aware of what your audience is likely to find appealing (or not). Which is where she’s missed the mark.

If I was selling bikinis, I would have no problem taking a photo in one, in some sort of standing pose, making it clear it was my own, personal bikini, not yours. And I’d find consider anyone making fun of my saddlebags or my little bit of tummy pretty goddamn petty.

      This edition of the photo puts in focus what it is that grosses me out about the listing:
      It’s itchy, wooly butt-floss and I’M STARING UP HER COOCH.

      You forgot the true tricks of the trade. Grapefruit sized waists and giraffe necks. And that’s just for the average adds, a shitty clone stamp job to make her breasts bigger is what you need to get into Vogue.

    Imagine Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford walking down the beach …… the music swells ….

    Memories, of wool patch cover’d vagine
    Musty beavis scented memories but no signs of fur.

    Etsy pictures of the smiles from her behind.
    smiles we dare not show to others, but at least no fur.
    Can it be that she’s a simpleton
    who shows off her babby lines?
    If she had the chance to cover up
    tell me
    would she?
    Could she?

    Ba-jing-oes may be beautiful and yet
    no one wants to see an-oth-ers
    with obvious old sweat
    So its the skank factor
    that we’ll remember
    Whenever we remember
    But at least, no fur.

    And I understand about being proud of your work and loving your body the way it is, but for something your selling, dear god, don’t wear it in the photo!

    And this looks slightly less uncomfortable then the mens hemp thong thing that was on here a month or so ago…I really hope that comment brought back more horrific memories for all of you to enjoy. ;p

    Oh my fucking bajingo.

    This made me flash back to the scene in “Wolf Creek” where all the belongings are being stored.

    Photographer commentary: “Here is this candid photo I took of a random woman passed out, probably at a summer concert somewhere. I will sell you her clothing when I am finished with her; this price reflects the cost of dry-cleaning my own clothing for that day.”

    I’M SORRY, WORLD, FOR HAVING SUCH A FUCKED UP BRAIN.

    I can just imagine the lister looking at the photos, trying to pick the right one. “Yeah, that one is perfect!”

    I shudder to think of the ones that weren’t used.

    There are just certain body types that shouldn’t wear bikinis and there are certain poses that shouldn’t be used whilst wearing a bikini. The seller managed to find both.

      That pose should not be used wearing anything but a medical gown or a neglige. If you aren’t having sex, a baby, or a medical procedure, just DON”T.

    For real? Did I just read this whole slew of contents making fun of her looks? LAME. The pic is atrocious. The wool thong is creepy. The idea of getting this pre-worn model makes me vurp. It does look like a staged scene for the kind of people who get off on crime scene photos. But for FUCK’S SAKE, why all he “hurr durr, its a dude” and “lol fatty fat fatty”???
