    Just for shucks, can you superimpose that baby’s pacifier from the Huckabee post the other day on top of ALL these skeletons?

    My hormonally challenged, Michelin Tire physique thanks you in advance.

    I don’t know about you guys, but I look like these women EVERY DAY.

    I like to drop my son off at his holy-rollin’ christian preschool in my itty-bitty yellow polka dot bikini AND Captain’s hat. The 4″ high heels can be a real bitch though, but hey, I’m a slave to fashion, what can I say?

    I like Bossy’s shot the best – at least your model has no pretenses of looking like a real woman. Aren’t these the same models from last year’s fashion week – http://www.iambossy.com/i_am_bossy/2007/09/bossys-homage-t.html?

    The thought of you sticking those little black pasties onto Barbie’s boobs makes me laugh. You should try to sell that pic to a gallery as “ironic post-feminist commentary” or something like that.

    I think the horse is wondering “what the fook”?

  8. 8
    on February 12th, 2008 at 11:15 am

    I want to know what the fook you used to craft Barbie pasties? Duct tape? Electrical tape?

    And, follow-up question: is one really required to wear pasties if one, in fact, has no nipples?

    Hilarious. The horse does look confused…or drugged. The girl? Don’t you squeeze your arms in like that when you go riding horses in your flesh colored bikini? She looks like she is trying to reduce the bounce AND keep her hooter from getting banged by the saddle…right?

    While Bossy was busy applying pasties, Barbie was sinking fast in quick sand..

    Jeff’s extreme imagination should bar him forever from commenting on Bossy’s blog…or not.

    I’m so glad I now know what to do with a chair in the middle of the rain forest. That question has been plaguing me for years!

    It’s also good to see that I’m not the only woman who presses her breasts together with her arms while riding a horse…

    Wow.

    I had that many people on my recently posted video shoot, and all they could manage was a fleece sweatshirt and a hair clip. Not even any concealer. And what with the breastfeeding, my boobs actually are bigger than an A cup for once in my life. Curses!

    And bikinis so need pockets. Where am I supposed to keep my Little Debbie cakes? Hmmmph!

    10 Reasons why Im not in that magazine:

    1. If I wear make up at the beach, it melts off and I get racoon eyes from the mascara.

    2. granny bottoms and plus size suits are not “in” THIS YEAR.

    3. The sea air makes my hair flat

    4. When I roll around in the water, I get sand in the crotch of my suit.

    5. the dimples of my cellulite cause the light to reflect in such a way that is not condusive to photography.

    6. My boobs are too saggy to hold up those skimpy tops.

    7. I am afraid of horses.

    8. c-section scars arent sexy.

    9. they are trying to sell magazines

    10. 1-9 would be moot if I was willing to do the heroin and cocain necessary to be skinny enough for the magazine.

    Oh, I’m so relieved — that’s a PERSON in that chair in the rain forest! I thought someone had thrown out a bag of old chicken bones, and that one of the forest creatures might get them stuck in its craw.

    I’m nothing if not an animal lover.

    Nice electri-pasties. ’s what I use, too.

    You know, that girl with the thing, wearing the thing, on the thing? Yeah, that one is me.

    Or maybe, I just dreamed it during a Sara Lee over-indulged fantasy. I swear, when I woke up this morning, I felt thin!

    Then I rolled over, slumped out of bed, and everything FELL into place. I’m no longer thin.

    I think I’m going to join the bag of Oreo cookie eaters in our quest to fatten those skeletons up.
