Tai's boob inflation

[Uncle Yuan]

She used to be completely flat, now blown straight past Hannalore and giving Dora a run for her money.  Is she still going through puberty?

[raminda]

She used to bind her breasts.

[Carl-E]

And yes, she may well still be "developing" some.  Hell, I grew a full inch at the age of 25...

Nothing like waking up one morning and realizing all your pants are short. 

I imagine suddenly having none of your bras fit is a similar distresser.  Maybe even worse.  Then again, her sex life doesn't seem to be suffering! 

[Spluff]

She used to bind her breasts.

In order to become more attractive to lesbians, she decided to make herself look more like a man.

[fineout]

since they apparently interrupted something/she was sleeping, if she did bind, she would be unbinded at the point shes at now.

[Near Lurker]

Besides, she's wearing something a lot more form-fitting than usual in this strip.

Yeah, I guess I can see...hey, what?

Okay, ya got my internet. Use it well.

[akronnick]

Maybe she's putting on weight.

Maybe she's pregnant! [/clutches pearls]

Maybe Jeph is trying to draw her so that she looks more like a person than a stick figure with glasses.






(for the record I do not actually wear pearls)

[Carl-E]

Why not?  They go with anything...

Except swine. 

[Mad Cat]

I thought that was simply called morning wood.

[AlexT]

Yes. Because after all, lesbians are attracted to men.

[wargrafix]

she's the more butch lesbian.

[akronnick]

Why not?  They go with anything...

Except swine. 

I don't wear swine either.

[Carl-E]

Not even bacon?

[akronnick]

Oh I eat bacon, I just don't wear it.

My fat ass already looks enough like a turbaconducken as it is.

[Carl-E]

Oh c'mon - bacon goes well with almost anything! 

[akronnick]

Oh I know, I just couldn't resist the opportunity to use the word 'turbaconducken'







turbaconducken 

[snubnose]

She used to bind her breasts.

That one.

I remember I once read about a woman who lived as a man for her whole life - including only having sex in the dark and using some kind of mechanism to fool the woman he would have a penis. Her (social) son said she was actually busty - he saw her when she had a fatal accident and she never woke again from her coma before death. Reason was apparently that the woman in question wanted to follow a career that was impossible for women at that time.

No, but they are attracted to women who made themselves look male but still have the "right" parts (i.e. the ones lesbians are attracted to).

This one?

[snubnose]

No, it was some kind of musician, in the USA, in the first half of the 20. century.

Was famous for his high tenor voice (which of course was actually alto, but people didnt knew that).

Well, and you know, attracted to women's personality.  But I know that is boring compared to discussing anatomy

To be fair, I think physical attraction is at least as important, if not more so. I mean, I'm attracted to the personalities of my male friends---this is why we are friends---but I do not want to have sex with them. Sexual attraction is more about raw biology than it is about compatible personalities.

Just so you know, there are some people on this forum who are a little sensitive about quoting quotes for the sake of quotiness (quothiness?).

I know that around 20, I turned into Robin Williams overnight.  I wound up taking a machete to the whole mess every morning.

[Carl-E]

You know, I really hope you're talking about facial hair...

'cause the last physical trait under discussion in this thread was bound boobs, and if you're whacking them off every morning with a machete, then something's definitely wrong. 

[Near Lurker]

I actually meant body hair...you know, that thing Robin Williams has a lot of.

[Spluff]

Every time one of you quotes my post something inside me dies.

KILLIN YOU FROM THE INSIIIIIIDE I WANT YOU TO DIEEEE
AHHH CMON FUCK A GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUY

[Spluff]

1. man why you even got to do a thing?

2. When did you become Christophe?

[Carl-E]

Actually, I didn't know that about Robin.  Nor did I need to.  He has so many traits, why focus on body hair?  Most people would pick someone who's main trait was hairiness for comparison! 

You know, like sasquatch, or me, or somebody like that...

Still don't know how you go onto body hair in this thread... but, to each their own!   

[raoullefere]

Here's the breakdown:
Point: Tai binds her breasts = modification of a secondary sexual characteristic (at least according to some whack-job judge who equated breasts with a man's beard in a case involving the fondling thereof (breasts, not a beard).

Assumption: Near Lurker attacks his (making an assumption here, as I didn't turn him over and check) presumably hirsute form with a machete* to remove body hair = modification of a secondary sexual characteristic.

Conjecture—this process weighs heavily on Near Lurker, and any mention of modification of a secondary sexual characteristic makes him think of his daily safaris.

Suspicion—Carl-E did not see Mork and Mindy back in the day, and was thus not exposed to Mr. Williams' incredible resemblance to a rug on those occasions when he pranced 'out of the shower' wearing only a showercap and a towel round his waist. Those of us who did—we remember. Whether in horror, fascination, or rejoicing that, 'hey, at least I don't look like that,' we remember. Some of us (who, sadly, wasted too many thirty-minute periods of our lives we'll never, ever get back watching M&M, but at least, Holy Mother of God, we stopped watching after Jonathan Winters joined the cast) also remember Pam Dawber reporting that on one occasion Mr. Williams, sure the in-studio audience couldn't see him, didn't bother with the towel. She made herself not react—brave woman.

*Ouch, we say.

1. Because you draw better than me.

2. Its sort of like a disease that is passed through the internet.

[Kugai]

You two really need to cut down on the Absinthe

[Is it cold in here?]

After all, it has side effects including flatulence so bad you sound like a motorcycle.

Absinthe makes the farts go Honda.

Sexual attraction is more about raw biology than it is about compatible personalities.

That kind of makes sense, but frankly, we can't really know for sure. Even if I was a lesbian I probably couldn't tell. All we know is that something in a gay person makes them like to have sex with the same sex. Who can say if whatever attracts you in a person is due to being gay or to your personality? A woman can be attracted to extremely masculine men or uh, nerds, right? So a lesbian might as well be attracted to girly girls or butch girls. In the end it's always girls.

[BeoPuppy]

Why don't you just ask a lesbian and compare notes, or something?

[Mr_Rose]

The short version is: Sexuality is basically about dangly bits; which ones you have or not. Attraction is about shapes and colours and motion and (certainly in my case) scent, though I am apparently a bit of a freak in that regard.
Anyway, the two are mostly independent of each other, like the axes on a graph. It is entirely possible for any person's "peak hotness reference" to fall into any of the four quadrants described by those axes.
Certain men would love a tomboy-ish girl just as certain women only get all hot and bothered by Bridget.

[Carl-E]

Here's the breakdown:
...Conjecture...

Oooh, that's a goooood stretch right there! 

Suspicion—Carl-E did not see Mork and Mindy back in the day, ...

Actually, I did watch it.  I liked it.  And I did watch some after Jonathan Winters joined, but only because I was a Jonathan Winters fan.  But he sucked on that show.  I kept waiting for him to be funny...

And it was refreshing to see someone who looked nearly as hairy as the rest of the men in my family, rather than Sean Cassidy and the skinny hairless surfer dudes on the posters in my one female cousin's room! 

I don't "manscape", I just shed...

Pretty much this. This is kind of what I was trying to say. But Mr_Rose said it much better. So, listen to him and ignore me.

[Carl-E]

Done.

Oh c'mon - bacon goes well with almost anything!

BILLY TIPTON

[not0your0nerd]

you know, on a related note I think Faye has been gettin skinnier, or her hips-tummy-boob ratio is looking more and more like an hourglass. She used to complain about being chubby and such, didn't she?
