Steve Truitt (Stay Gold, Albuquerque, NM — but given how regularly he’s featured here I’m sure you know that by now!) has been slowly sculpting *Stitch* (this piece was posted fresh as well) into a scarified dreamgirl. Seriously, the number of gorgeous people, male and female, who are now choosing scarification as their dominant personal artform grows all the time… I love it!

Hahaha, i just got compared to Jamesy.
Thats the best compliement ive gotten all year! Ok, so I dont really have the time for this and i gotta head out so if faties wanan continue the convo hit me up on IAM.
But a few points.
Holly, look around, the evidence is around you. Im sorry if I havent taken a poll of everyone in the world and have statistical data on hand to show you. But seriously, sometimes you can just use your own eyes.
And painted lady, we were never discussing average sized ladies. We were discussing fat chicks. Dont confuse the argument.
The bottom lime is that if you want to be on modblog so badly and you think its your weight keeping you off THEN LOSE WEIGHT. If yuo dont like that idea, CREATE YOUR OWN DAMN WEBSITE.
And paleblue, even though yuor a fucking idiot, thank you for the compliment.
In closing.
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, Jon, youre cool, fuck you, im out.
i never said deathe to all fatties. i was referring to the comment about how sad it was that shannon was wrong for liking thin women who take care of themselves. if you can twist up all my words why cant i twist it up into sayin she was making a comment about shannon bein a nazi against fat people and building bigger ovens for them. nobody ever once asked me what my idea of bein fat actually was. not once they just assumed shit and made fools out of themselves and proved who had issues with their own weight and insecurities. like paleblue for example. nothing important to say anymore. jumping in sounding like a fool. and a handful of fat girls that are not ok with their bodies or would have never started a fight before they took time to see what i meant. thats on them. big deal shannon posted a pic of a hot girl that takes care of herself with good scarification on her. dont hate me for it. i just wanted to give him a round of applause
The thing that’s pissing me off is that [people] keep mentioning that us “fatties” need to get up off our lazy butts and exercise. Have you ever thought that we do exercise, we do eat right and WE CAN’T LOSE THE DAMN WEIGHT!?!
I have a condition that caused me to gain 20lbs in less than 6 months. I could exercise and starve myself and it wouldn’t matter ’cause I wouldn’t loose the weight anyways.
I was just hoping to see some women who don’t have their ribs poking out. I’d also like to see some guys with meat on their bones too. I just thought that I could start a change and help people who feel like they’re “fat” feel more free to post their pictures here.
Apparently [some people] are making it harder to do so because of all the “fattie” comments. I’m now sure that if a plus-sized woman/man posted their picture here, they’d get ‘FATTIE!!!! AHAHAHAHA” said in several different ways as their only comments. While the minority of the comments would be about their work.
Whew this seems to have got quite heated.
Isnt some of the male view on size why young girls starve themselves to reach that perfect zero size. Swallowing handfuls of laxatives and feeling compelled to bring back up any food they eat.
The grave yard is full of young girls that were beautiful until some fool suggested the are a few pounds over weight.
I personally think dreamgirl looks great, and whether she has worked out to get back into shape after the birth of a baby thats her choice.
As for some of the male views here that all fat girls are unhappy, have mental problems, binge eat and blame others…well come on fools I simply cannot stop laughing.
Everyone is built differenty its what makes our world tick. Imagine if everyone was a size zero and looked exactly the same, how friggin dull and boring.
I have been out with some really handsome males, one who happened to be loaded also, and he was a totally asshole obscessed with his personal appearance. Give me a normal male any day whether hes got a few extra pounds or not..I can think of ways to lose those 🙂
If you love someone so what if they are carrying a few pounds extra, it dosnt make them any less attractive. Look at the person within, check out if they got a good heart.
Maybe the person viewing them in a negative way has the problem. They are normally shallow self obscessed assholes.
Dare I say it prolly got no dick also…lol just teasing on that one, calm down you males 🙂
if you go back. this started off about the scar. which it was about. until some fat girl made a comment and turned this into an issue on weight . Not me, not cere not anyone. Im just an asshole cause i had to speak my mind on a topic some angry fat chick posted. Its not hard to lose weight. it takes work and mainly dedication. i have lost 10 pounds in less then a week and kept it off. so losing weight is not that hard. you gotta really want it. so if you do then get up and devote yourself to doin it.
It looks like Modblog has become The Oscars of BMEzine. I guess you aren’t cool enough or important enough unless you’ve been featured. What about the “skinny” people who haven’t been featured?
I will restate my original thought:
This is Shannons website and he can post whatever he wants. It is his right to do so and I have no problem with it. I think he does a great job 90% of the time there are just a few things that I (and others, obviously) take issue to and wish were a bit different.
Also, I think this picture is hot. I think MOST of the pictures on modblog are hot. But that doesnt mean I don’t think OTHER types of girls are hot. That doesnt mean I wouldnt like to see them. But it’s not my blog.
Backed 100% Fergy.
Also, losing 10 pounds in a week is extremely unhealthy. Do that shit on a regular basis as someone who is overweight and you will be on a fast track to having a heart attack. Good stuff!
losing 10 pounds in a week is no big deal. tryin to keep doin that weekely is. yes i agree. i wasnt tryin to lose 50 that takes time. but losing a pound a week. whats the point. thats like skipping out on a burger a week. if you have soo much weight to lose go to a pro and get the help to lose it.
I dont recall anyone declairing themselves fat and preaching for the death of skinny people. I suppose some people are just consumed with hatred and ignorance enough to see what they want to.
btw vampryixie, you look great 🙂
Actually this whole this was started by post #9
“There definitely is one [thing wrong], but no one will say it.”
This didnt start as people bashing larger women but BY LAGER WOMEN BASHING STITCH FOR KEEPING HER BODY IN SHAPE.
hehe. i love you cere. you are rad. haha, i don’t know what i would do if they posted my most awesome scar. haha.
Still AGAIN no one declaired themselves fatties marching to the front to slander the skinny girl. I said she was beautiful and had great work. And I thought post # 9 was referring to mix matched panties or something? Either way this discussion is retarted and STILL pointless. Some of you have appauling views of women as a whole and its disgusting and quite offensive.
https://www.bme.com/news/2006/07/19/how-does-he-do-it/
Cere, those women all look curvy and you don’t seem to mind them.
But yeah this argument is pointless really lol.
Titties!!!! Fabulous, amazing titties! And thank you number 166.
Soo… a small minority of modded people, Stigmata included, seem to have the attitude “Hey look, I’m heavily modified, that IN ITSELF makes me different from the sheep-like, meme-driven crowd”.
That’s bollocks – more importantly than others making an effort with their weight, you have to make an effort with your brain. Quite obviously you’re not too badly affected by fashions in aesthetics when it comes to you, but anyone with an interest in history/archaeology/art (hello!) can tell you that fashions in female body types come and go, just like mod fashions.
Take a step back, cease your bigotry, and learn that bashing a woman for being overweight is just like bashing a heavily modded person.
Also, “i” is not an appropriate way to start a sentence.
Love and kisses from a size 6-8 (American 2-4) woman.
Speaking as a size zero myself, though my friends and boyfriend tell me i have a good body, a lot of others make the assumption that i’m bulimic and throw up whatever I eat. I don’t. My mom is the same height as me and is quite a bit heavier than me. She is NOT fat, we simply have different bone structures. I have a small frame, she doesn’t. If my mother weighed what I weigh, she would look sick and pathetic. Sometimes BMI needs to be disregarded for what looks good on an individual.
Oh, and she is beautiful and not ‘angry’ and never complains about her size!
#166 Damn right I dont have a problem with them. I like women of all sizes alhough my preference would be something closer to the average woman.
Just cuz I LOVE steak doesnt mean iwont enjoy a good burger.
And honestly i have no problem with fat girls. My issue lies with fat girls who then cry about how noone likes them becuase they are fat.
If your life sucks CHANGE IT. If you dont change it then you deserve your unhappiness and shouldnt expect the entire world to cater to you becasue youre too fucking lazy to do anything about it. Most of the people in here have a welfare mentality and its fucking disgusting.
Wow. Who knew that bodyweight was such a touchy subject?
OOOOPS. That last one is me, Cere, im just using skylarks computer…
There are PLENTY of reasons why a girl might be a little bit on the heavier side stigmata. Your comments have pretty much disgusted me to the point that IF I had found you attractive to begin with I’d be so repulsed by you now I’d never want to “fuck you,” since you seem to think having sex and being attractive is a really important thing. Anyway, I was a size 6 and about 145 lbs a year and a half ago. Since then I’ve had to have three surgeries on my back and have been forced to not exercise. I’ve also gained somewhere between 20 and 25 pounds. Are you going to call me fat, lazy and disgusting because I had to have surgery? Just so you know I have been going to the gym five days a week since I was allowed to go back to normal exercise, as well as many of these other girls I’m sure do. I don’t even eat 1200 calories a day (NOT because I’m anorexic or whatever, because I’m not hungry), I don’t drink soda except for rare occasions, I don’t eat junk food, I don’t snack much between meals. Am I unhealthy, lazy, and repulsive? Personally except for extreme case what a person looks like is not repulsive to me. How they carry themselves, act towards others, and what they say is.
If it was “average” to be skinny to the point that the girl in the picture is (which by the way you have beautiful scarification and rock on for being thin framed, more power to you) then America would not have such a growing obesity problem. You wouldn’t read in the news about morbid obesity and how a high percentage of the American public is considered to be overweight. I’m pretty sure its average to be a little overweight now. You keep talking about being healthy and what not, do you think its healthy to be so skinny that you could count some girls ribs one by one? Because if you do you have some seriously skewed views that I’m pretty sure any doctor would disagree with.
You get up on your high horse about how “fatties” disgust you, and you stereotype them to be awful, angry human beings. Well you Sir happen to fall into my disgusting, awful, angry human being category.
high five to *stitch* for being beautiful….with beautiful artwork on her. 😛
😉
props to Zar.
high five to *stitch* for being beautiful….with beautiful artwork! 😛
😉
huh. i can’t figure out why my comment isn’t posting.
Hahaha, my comment wasn’t on her being thin. She has a gorgeous body that should be envied.
I think most people have a very standardized idea of a beautiful body. Yes, it is fed by the media. No, that doesn’t mean that just because I think it is unfair I can flip my desires around. Shannon has been influenced by the same advertising as the rest of us, and if he thinks super skinny girls are hot, I’m in the boat with him. But to tell him or anyone else what they should think is hot is fucking stupid. If I had a blog that I posted pictures in, and I got a photo of a girl like this and another one of a girl with a couple folds, I would totally go with this one right here. If you have a problem with the way this thing is done, then you should probably set up your own public blog, pick pictures that you think are beautiful, and post them. Otherwise, quit hating one mans view of beauty. He doesn’t hate yours, does he?
And this girl is totally hot. Just like my pencil thin girlfriend.
well, i’m trying to comment on this one more time.
instead of bitching, how about you guys take a look around and see that Shannon *does* post photos of girls who are not perfect size zeros? here’s a few to get you started:
(for some reason, it is not letting me post these links and i can’t figure out why, but trust me, they are out there.)
or you could take a look at what he posted on a past Modblog entry:
Why don’t you post a wider range of body types?
Well, I’m sure there’s truth that because the images pass through a double filter of both Phil, then I, that there’s going to be some subconscious manipulation that leans toward our own particular likes. However, we do our best to post an accurate demographic representation of BME’s readership (or should I say submittorship) — if you think we’re not posting enough of a certain subject, submit it and encourage others to as well!
if heavier girls aren’t being posted, it’s probably got something to do with the fact that not as many submit photos.
like emmmluk said, lots of factors can affect weight. like starting some hormonal birth control types, or having a thyroid problem. skinny girls are not normal or average at all! i am not ugly, nor is my body perfect. however, i think my friends are all gorgeous and they’re all bigger than me. i can’t wait to see them and take pictures to send in.
Mismatched underwear>matching underwear.
There is such a large double standard on skinniness! Some will expect you to be tiny; and if you are, some will judge you and assume things about you to no end about it, and others will tell you that’s it’s “hot,” etc. Everyone really needs to chill, and stop worrying about how others are and just apperciate the beauty, no matter the pant size.
Gorgeous scarring.
Hahaha why would you fuck someone you think is ugly. Anyways…sorry most fat people have low self esteem. Everyone that has issues with their weight is obviously very angry inside. I get all these husky girls bitching over me statin its just more pleasin top see skinny thin girls that take good care of themselves. Out of nowhere all these people start gettin all bent out of shape and claimin they are not sloppy and big. I never started off sayin anytthing specific about anyone. Nobody ever took time to ask what i thought was considered fat and sloppy in my eyes. just all these emotional wrecks of hogs just started flipping out. Its obvious who has issues with their weight by the way they responded before they took time to ask me nicely on my views.
Damnit, I hate when I have to cut the waist of my jeans. That means it’s diet time!
Christ….This one got heated…
Perhaps it is pertinent to note that all the ‘normal’ or ‘larger’ women I know will comment on a skinny woman if they see one…
…But, of the many skinny chicks that I’ve known, not one has felt the need to comment (positively or negatively) on a larger woman…
Stigmata – wind your neck in a bit 😉
Personally, I find skinny girls really attractive.
Also, I’m far from slim myself.
6’3″ and about 260lb…and my girlfriend of more than four years is 5’9 1/2″ and about 95lb.
She gets negative comments every day about her size. People telling her that she should eat more.
But…I cook for both of us and (as you can tell by my weight) I like good food.
We eat the same-sized portions, we eat the same food.
She’s skinny, she’s sexy and a LOT of people find it hard to accept that.
*n
PS: One girl who works with her was saying things along the lines of ‘you’re SO skinny!’ and ‘Why don’t you eat more?’ every day…Until I heard her once and replied “Wow! You’re so…pudgy…”
She looked like I’d just curled one off in her handbag and was speechless until I asked her why it was okay for her to say such things about my girlfriend yet it wasn’t okay for me to say relevant things to her…
_Stigmata_ sounds like a shallow asshole but we can glean a couple of valid point from his otherwise offensive diatribes, skinny girls should not be harrassed for their weight. Actually I’d say no girl should be singled out and insulted for her weight no matter what. His other point, attitude counts for something. It’s misguided for girls to insult other girls for being skinny. If you want respect and tolerance, you first have to give it, otherwise no one will take you seriously.
I understand the sentiments of frustration that other women are feeling, but this is not the best place to vent them. This post was to show her scarification. Sure there’s double standards everywhere and pressure to look a certain way, lose weight, or even get cosmetic surgery. I think some of the pressure comes more from women themselves. Men don’t care as much about specific dress sizes as they do general body type. And maybe some guys are really shallow, but not all of them. Anyway, I’d rather be healthy and be myself than waste my time trying to look like everyone else. Modblog should be encouraging individuality and with all the societal pressures, girls should be encouraging other girls not trying to tear them down.
Stigmata,
You are assuming just because females have responded they are emotional fat hogs with problems.
Have you any idea what a fucking idiot you are making yourself look?
You think all females have a choice over having a few extra pounds on them. Some have to take medication with others medical problems that can easily cause this. With some its genetic, again not a fault of theirs.
Just like some females can eat like a friggin horse and not gain an ounce, and another females has something nice to eat, and gains a pound.
What would you do have a female starve herself, end up dead just to pleased a bone headed bastard like you.
I guess being as perfect as you obviously think you are, its easy to sit there making nasty remarks.
Go look in the mirror see what an asshole looks like!!
Is it just me or does anyone else think she doesnt look THAT skinny. she lookes natural and at an average weight, shes a very beautiful lady.
Stich you are beautiful as are your scares, they are amaizing, kudos for going through it. You really need to lock your boyfriends finger though because the way he reffers to you is really disrespectful (not really all that suprising considering the way he reffers to everyone else). I hope you have already dumped him for reffering to you as just onother skinny chick he has “conquered”
Stigmata you may want to put that bottle of Jack down, you excessive drinking shows in the intelligence of your posts and that little pouch you seem to be cultivating. You must be a lazy slob since you dont have a trim six/eight pack and a pair of arms that buldge in all the right places.
never said i “conquered ” her. 2nd i think its funny that everyone yellin about me callin anyone a name is doin the same thing back but who cares. people online like that not only show their double standards but lack of intelligence about it. i never satrted a fight with anyone. it was some insecure fat women that started this whole thing. so blame them. yes…im a fat redneck and excessive drinking. hahaha once again another double standard. i dont drink. been quiet sober. not even jacked up on sugar like most these mental women on here are when they post. I would think that the bigger idiot on here are the insecure whining angry fatties that keep postyin over me joking about what they keep saying. they cant handle it and show their insecurities so i keep it goin out of fun. i did not start this why should i end it. i give them a reason to bitch and take it all out. i should be a hero for that. if i wasnt here they might be eatin themselves to death sooner.
We get it, buddy. You don’t like fat chicks. Repeating the same argument over and over with the use of a thesaurus isn’t going to get you anywhere or futher the discussion, though I doubt that’s your intention.
Let it die.
Stigmata,
You really are a grade ‘A’ ass wipe.
And no im not some angry fatty jacked up on sugar, unless you think a size 10 is fat, I would not put that past a moron like yourself to think size 10 is fat.
Im a person who responded to your mindless trash you come out with, because I care about other peoples feelings. You so obviously have none yourself, or should it be the one brain cell you operate with sometimes goes haywire.
Maybe you should start drinking heavily it may make you into a nicer person instead of the anally retentive dick you are.
You may not have started this, but why all the nastiness towards females, is it your own low esteem that makes you say these things.
Should they say thank you to you as per the last comment you made, giving them a reason to bitch so they eat themselves to death more slowly?
My god man you have a lot to learn about human feelings!!
my nastiness as you put it was for all the angry bitter fat women. stop blaming me for all this these insane fat fuckls keep postin as well. and are just as insulting so bottom line……fuck you. dont single me out. I have no issues with women that can act like women but they chose not to. I never said i was making them eat themselves to death. I give them a reason not to sit around bored. i let their anger out in here then on their allready self hate of their bodies and other skinny people
i love how people bitching about me being rude and hurting others feelings …goes about sayin that while doin the same thing. grow the fuck up. dont say what one does it wrong then do it yourself. now that is a true lack of a mind.
Stigmata,
Have you ever thought of seeing a shrink, you’re so obvisouly friggin insane?
Insane….yet another comment name callin me when you just said before i was a dick for doin the same thing. People need to get over it and get a grip. hahah i still think its funny i was called fat for not having a perfect body but yet i am supposed to say a size 10 is not fat. wow….some very confused big girls in here with nothing better to do then insult and name call. yet im the bad guy. funny how that works.
Stigmata,
Why the hell are you whinging like a big girls blouse?
You know something, for someone who can deal it out remorsely, you cry like a girlie when someone calls you names.
Live with it, thank yourself lucky im in a good mood and didnt really tell you what I thought of your appauling hurtful remarks you made about females.
Now get yourself up to see that shrink, the amount of sessions you will need he may take pity on you and give you a discount.
i could care less if some fat pig calls me names. i just think its funny that the ones who say i am wrong for doin it are doin it themselves. you want to talk about bein crazy and closed minded….shit…stop bein a hypocrite and running a double standard
