Oo, lovely stuff, Jilli.
And JZ, don't worry, you'll have the figure again one day. For now, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Unless you've actually turned into a beach ball (and I think Hec would have told us), you do so have the shape for that skirt.
Not a beach ball, but I'm massively bustier than I used to be and my waist has kind of disappeared; anything with a well-defined waist looks kind of bunchy and wrong. Right now I'm wearing an empire-waist dress with a deep V neckline, and I look about 8000% better than I did yesterday in a fitted-waist skirt that still fits but no longer flatters, not even a little.
So, you know, if you should run across any Gothic Regency dresses, I might be inclined to give them a look.
eta: I'm trying not to flip out too much about the body changes; it's just weird to have all these clothes that still fit but suddenly just look wrong, and all this stuff that used to look like ass on me and is suddenly exactly right. The morphing body, she is odd.

Not a beach ball. A fertility statue? Yes. Pornstar boobies? Yes. She went from between B-C cup, to Double D. She pokes at them a lot in amazement.

Okay. (I think the Seattle Gothic maternity wardrobe is currently claimed by someone, but I'll check with the other half of the hivemind.)

Try not to flip out at all, if you can. Oh, and my advice is to get yourself a good shea butter cream to keep away the stretch marks. I managed to avoid them completely, and I am crediting the cream for that one.

You can, but sadly, research has pretty well shown that it's a genetic predisposition and creams won't do much more than soothe the itching.
Not that I'm bitter.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'll sit over there and be not bitter with you.

Yay!
All day today I've had little Trinny and Susannah voices nattering away at me every time I pass a mirror or reflective surface. "Stop saying it's not your style? Why isn't it? Look at it - you look six inches taller and GLAMOUROUS! Do you remember yesterday's outfit? Dumpy! Stump-legged! Squat! All tits! Stop whining and just wear what we tell you!"
Stretch marks -- ehn. I've had stretch marks on my boobs since they had their first real growth spurt when I was 17. Already lived with 'em for 20 years, I can stand a few more.

You mean you look like me? I've got the stretch marks, too.
