It is obvious that one cannot take a candid photograph of oneself. 2. I DO like what Malingering is doing. I just want to understand better why. 3. The responses to my brief message demonstrate WHY I withheld my name (I think "Withheld" is more honest than other nicks I could have used). 1.

I've seen pics of Malingering that were taken by other people, and trust me she's beautiful and tastefully dressed - so I don't think a candid shot of her would express what she is trying to say. For me I look at her photos and I can't believe the how many people buy into the group think of fashion. People dress in A&F fashions without thinking "I look like shit in this!' Instead they buy and wear it because they're told to wear it my the media - then get in a hissy when someone points out that their belly shirt is allowing the world to see how their stomach is puffing out over their skinny jeans. I'm a fat woman - really, not skinny, FAT. I look at myself in the mirror before I leave the house aware of how I look. There are times when I leave the house looking like a homeless refuge. If someone took my pic on those days and blogged about it, I would accept the responsibility that I chose to go in a public place looking like that. As far as Malingering's love letter - If you have stretchmarks - can't you wear a one piece bathing suit? Or is it mandated that you MUST wear a suit that allows your stretchmarks to show?

If you're so annoyed or put out, why the hell don't you have the courage to say who you really are, especially since your intention to excoriate is as flaccid as your logic? Perhaps for a better perspective you could actually comment on what is actually said by Malingering. It's not about schadenfreude without a healthy understanding of one's own place in the world and in the society one finds oneself. Do you also hate who provide windows to the world as they see it? Do you hate Diane Arbus? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/97/Childwithhandgrenadedianearbus.jpg/400px-Childwithhandgrenadedianearbus.jpg Do you hate others like her? Or do you just hate yourself? If you don't like what Malingering is doing, you are free to do whatever you wish to yourself privately...or you can keep whining...but then that's a reflection too, isn't it? good Lhord…spare me the unintended irony “Withheld.” If you’re so annoyed or put out, why the hell don’t you have the courage to say who you really are, especially since your intention to excoriate is as flaccid as your logic?

Perhaps for a bit of perspective on your comments, you should post a picture of yourself taken without preparation. I enjoy your Flickr photos.
