Hi there!
What a great concept for a wallpaper for sure!
I just had to comment on her ribs though, they draw your attention right away. She is so skinny. I hope that if you know this woman you will tell her to get help for her eating disorder. :( I feel so bad for women who think bones showing is pretty. I guess in this day and age in our society women are taught they must show their bones, and its so very sad. :(
I love the concept however. I cant wait to see what you upload next! maybe with a different model.
Would love to see you at our forum :)

While I'm with you that I find curvvier women more attractive, the fact is recent discoveries are showing that the above woman is closer to an ideal than previously thought. Starvation activates a set of genes that cause the body to actually live longer.

While society does play some part in determining what's attractive, it's hardly the only, or even the largest, metric. We've never unearthed the bones of a "fat" caveman for a reason...
Oh no, we have not had a minor disagreement, we have a difference of opinion. Your article on worm starvation was most interesting, yet it has not been proven that what they are doing to these worms will have the same effect on people.
Also I think for me personally, I would like to be happy while Im alive...even if that means I die a little quicker then someone starving themselves all their life. This "living forever" kick that everyone is on is not all its cracked up to be. I personally do not want to live forever...at least not in this system the way it is. As far as finding a fat caveman....never did I say this artist needed to find "a fat" model. That was something you brought up. I simply said her ribs should not be showing. Its disgusting full stop.
Personally though in my opinion I will stay the 36 26 38 that I am. Im not fat but I like my body the way it is and no amount of longevity would make me want to look like that. Sorry but I just dont see it. As far as society goes...they have been programming people for years and years and they will always control how much people weigh and the fashion scene ect ect because thats what they do. Only a small amount of people can see through that...the people who dont care what the world thinks about them, but for the time being I think I will choose to live for as long as I live and thats that.
I respect your views however, and I am always keen on these discussions, but please dont think I disagree because it would be very naive of me to think that everyone feels the same way as I do, or that with a simple paragraph I could change the way everyone thinks, so I welcome opinions. :)

Missy, forgive me for butting in. I can't help loving these forums.
I think I've seen several tv shows of research performed on people where minimum calorie diets vastly improve the immune system. To date, most such studies are statistical samplings showing correllation between surprisingly lo-cal diets and longevity...(gotta get rid of my paunch).
But I think you might be right about ribs. I'm just not a ribs man.
I hate to say it but we are all controlled by those around us. I can't choose the career choices I want because the pay isn't there...no matter that my choice is superior...of course. I think the same is true of beauty. Rubens apparently adored (as you certainly know better than me) fat women (and men). Times changed. Society has learned.
Just not me yet ;-) ...gotta get out there running again...(I wonder if I could then get MY picture in wallpaper...NOT!)
Hey hun
Your not butting in at all. :)
I agree that low cal and low carb in fact do help. In fact my mom is on a eat right for your blood type diet and she looks fabulous, but I cant see her ribs. there is a difference between being skinny and gross. I personally don't think starving yourself will get you anywhere. My best friend is a nurse...so of course I know and Im sure everyone viewing this page knows that if you starve yourself then certain important body functions shut down... well then we die of course. lol
Being healthy is awesome, you have more energy and therefore you weigh less. Eating a lot of trans fat, carbs and sugar is no way to live. Your asking for heart problems.
I don't think fat is pretty, but I think also (getting off the subject here) that who a person is inside is much more valuable. I guess that comes with years of seeing myself taken for granted because people wanted to get me in bed... or watching awesome guys that would be such wonderful partners get passed up for some asshole with a big you know what. I have dated the assholes that think I go good with their car LOL
They are not worth it. I would rather have the fat guy that loves me then the asshole that is fit.
I dont know maybe Im crazy but when Im old and gray and so is my man, and we have both lost our looks, what do we have then? I better love that person or I wont want to look at them right? LMAO
Anyway HUGZ guys! Have a great day.

I've had to agree a woman with a little more plump to her would have been better. Great idea though. Well done in that respect.
Maybe just Gimp out the ribs!?! Smudge tool, 40% transparent, use the large fuzzy brush. Hey, presto!
