letter from Danielle & postcard from Vee / curvygirls conflict

[belenen]

I had the bestest day! I got my Supreme Beings of Leisure CD in the mail, AND a beautiful postcard from bluebl00d AND a long letter from boobiequeen!!! Oh that so made my day. ;-) I have the best friends! I can't wait to get enough postcards to actually start my collage. And usually I'm an anticipation person, but I really loved being surprised by Danielle's

Hey Belenen, where can I leave my address?

And also, I hope someday I will accept myself they way you accept yourself. You're a beautiful person. Truly.

[belenen]

awwwww, I was beginning to think you didn't love me! You can leave it here, in a private poll.

I really hope you can accept your beauty too. ♥ and thank you.

I keep meaning to find the words to explain things to you, but only you. I didnt make some big explanation in C_G because I simply didnt want to proliferate any more drama. I .. really.. really dislike drama.

Mayhaps i'll find the motivation to send you an email about it, or learn to screen my comments and leave you a good one.

[belenen]

you can leave me a comment on the screened post, and only I'll be able to see it.

But I don't hold any bad feelings against you, so please don't worry about that. *hugs*

[bluebl00d]

Finally it got there, I'm glad you like it ;)

Oh and hum I don't think I'll ever be able to accept myself the way I am but it is so wonderful seeing others doing so. It's inspiring.

[belenen]

I'm sure you will someday. I think you've come pretty far since you met Nea, her love had really encouraged you I think. I mean, you posted photos, and more than once! That's progress right? It might be a long journey but I'm sure you'll get there eventually. Getting healthy will help with that too, I think.

Let's see if I can put this tactfully...I'll just apologize beforehand if you find anything in here offensive. It shouldn't be. Anyway, that community kinda pissed me off because there were those size guidelines. I ended up leaving after I read that too. It was just one of those "Well EXCUSE ME!" moments. I mean it's your community and you can write whatever rules you want, but when I was there and I don't know if it's still there or not, the user info said something about not posting pictures of obese people. I was thinking, well wtf? I AM obese by medical standards. By my own standards, I'm gorgeous and will be in any size because I know who I am inside and out

[belenen]

heh, that's why I edited the rule to explain better what I actually MEANT:
2. No posting photos of unhealthy or 'enhanced' women. (that means no photos of anorexic, obese to the point where it seriously inhibits health and mobility, or surgery-enhanced women. We understand that those women can be beautiful too, but we're here to celebrate healthy, natural curviness.)Because yes, I meant women who were SERIOUSLY inhibited by weight. The ones who use the motorized carts at Wal-mart, you know

June? Seems like it's been longer than that. Well five months is nearly a year. ^^;

[belenen]

heh, you have about as good a concept of time as my husband does. ;-D

My curves are very petite, and therefore I didn't want to intrude on your community, but reading through the userinfo. and seeing the pictures and what not amazed me all by themselves. What a fantastic community you seem to have set up.

I just find it really funny that some of the girls are uncomfortable with their curves. Funny-ironic, not funny-haha. Not because I can't understand it, because the media is absolutely atrocious with picking apart people's appearances, but because, being 6' and very thin, I've always wanted to have the curves that you guys seem to represent. I've since become very comfortable with myself, but all through high school I was ashamed of having small curves.

[belenen]

!!! We have a lot of girls who have very petite curves! a work safe one and here's a not-work-safe one and another work safe one. We have a really amazing variety. I could link you a lot more but they're often friends-locked and you wouldn't be able to see them unless you joined.

I definitely think you should join. ;-) You have some AWESOMELY curvy legs!!
