Day 22

Apparently my snake provoked some controversy yesterday when I posted a picture him in the Tieks group. It was relative! He matched my dress. And he's cute! I get that some people are afraid of reptiles. That fear is completely unfounded (in general) and society tells us we should be scared of anything that isn't cute. Plus there's that whole "the devil is a snake" thing. They've got such a bad rep for such amazingly gentle animals. Honestly, I'm way more afraid of dogs than I am of snakes. I know a lot of people that agree with me. 

*sigh* I reposted the picture in the comments section after he was removed, as someone was like, "oh I was looking for your snake in the pictures and didn't see him" And that's when I got attacked by a troll. It was fun. Also, apparently I think I'm the SHIT cuz I have a "fan club". (and WOAH is that giving me WAY more credit than I deserve, and shows that she's OBVIOUSLY threatened by my confidence.) I'm also "promoting obesity" by showing my outfits of the day. Uh huh. Because I haven't heard those 10000 times before. I should stick to my blog and promote my obesity there. 

Got anything new yet?

Nope.

I do genuinely apologize for scaring anyone with him yesterday. It was not my intention. Snakes get discriminated against as much as fat people do, so he and I are in the same boat. It's ok though, I understand. I don't want to scare anyone. 

So yeah, admin contacted, and explained to me why the picture was removed even though it was 100% tieks related and relevant. (Exposure therapy guys! In all seriousness, this is how we overcome fears and how we get better at facing challenges. I did it with my autistic son as a child.) However, I did post a lot of education in that comment section before it was taken down, and I have 7 or so message me and tell me that I helped them overcome their fear a little because my snake looked so sweet. ^_^ So YAY that!!

Not only am I changing the world one fat people picture at a time, I'm changing it one snake picture at a time. lol.

Anywho...

Day Twenty Two!

Today's OOTD is casual. For one reason only. My bra yesterday has those silicone grips on it and when I took it off, it ripped my skin off. 

OW. 

So today I've got sores on my back. And a blister. Seriously. I'm not posting the brand of the bra until I talk to the company and see if they can come to a resolution. Because that shouldn't happen. I'd post pictures, but THAT might offend some people, because it's medical-ish and gross looking, so I won't. 

So yeah. Today's outfit is a comfy cotton bra with neat neck detailing from LB, which shows through a V-cut grey tank top from Old Navy paired with black leggings from Torrid today. My new mustard Tieks complete the look adding a much needed touch of color. 

The back of this shirt has a really cute white crochet at the top.

Also, yes, I'm aware that this is pretty um...showy. (As my 14 year old will say "Your nip-nips are showing!" LOL.) It's a home day, so Shhhh. Today's honestly not as much about fashion, it's about heat evasion and comfort from skin being torn. If I left the house, I'd wear it, but only because of my bra injury making it impossible to wear a "real" bra for probably the next few days until I get proper scabs. Ow. :( 

Heat index of 110 again. Ugh. Staying inside with my AC. 

My Cricut came from Amazon anyway, so I want to play with that today. ^_^ 

...

Also, fan club....*giggles and shakes my head* I'm still honestly laughing over that one. Um. Yeah. A daily post of myself in a closed group that is empowering women of all sizes (Hi, there's like, 5 of us at least who post daily and get a ton of comments) and my blog gets like, 4 hits a day and so far has zero comments. Yup. I'm REALLY popular over here with a HUGE fan club. *SNORT*

As Madonna said: "If you don't like me and you still watch everything I do, bitch, you're a fan!"
