Well, we have fat chicks doing Victoria Secret stuff now, so this is probably the next stage.

Nobody reads SI anymore. This is a visual representation of what a death rattle looks like.
But really, does anyone really care? I would guess no one except the model that this man beat out for the spot.

I wouldn't say we are friends at all. Her and my wife are pretty friendly, and have had a few associations outside of work for showers and such.
I look like a big scary redneck dude. The kind of person that bullied Sherry the worst. I don't blame her for not really wanting to associate with me much, and it doesn't bother me. We are kind of an aggregation of our experiences, you know. Im the same with police...bad experiences make me really stand offish. But i dont have broad brushed hard feelings. Neither does Sherry, at least with me.
When my wife and I met, her best friend was this gay dude. He didn't really hang around once we got serious. Assume he felt weird about it all. But again...gay people don't bother me, and I think that is pretty apparent to people who know me. Its just that I look like the typical dude that would bully folks: really big "bubba" looking dude with a lot of facial hair.

Beautiful woman?
Beautiful man?
Beautiful what.
Isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder? For me it is. I know that much of my own sense of beauty has been established by the ''norms'' of beauty that have been fostered in me by my male oriented upbringing.
Curves, have always been necessary in the training I received. Curves but not too much. It was striking to me that in times gone by and in other cultures the sense of beauty was more to the ''more curves the better'' sense of things.
The struggle for people of varying physical styles to be accepted within the spectrum of what is considered beautiful is a wide ranging struggle.
Large beauty, skinny beauty, handsome beauty etc.
So here is this person of beauty. Maybe not beauty by the standards of many who look upon this person but none the less beauty by a large percentage of historical standards.
But in this case, this beauty was once a man. A man who was not happy with how his body felt and decided to change it. Many men have this discomfort in their bodies. Most men go to the gym to tone and sculpt their bodies to allow them comfort in their physical capacity. Body builders, men who take pills to augment this or that part of their bodies. Men who spend decades honing and toning and staying physically fit so that they can enjoy their physical lives. Men who want bigger arms. Men who want larger legs. Men who want larger abs and pecs and what ever do what they can to achieve what they want physically. They use special technologically developed machines to achieve their desired results.
This man did likewise though this man took it farther. This man, one of many today was so uncomfortable in his body that he took advantage of modern technology and toned and augmented his body to the degree that he became the embodiment of what many have traditionally considered to be female beauty.
IT appears that that old American slogan, a meme actually, one so pervasive in American society that it was picked up and used by the US Army in it's promotional s for at least a decade is becoming a realty that many in decades past never dreamed would or even could come about.
''Be All That You Can Be''
This Leyna person has.
