I admit that I don't exactly have the most positive body image in the world. I focus too much on the fact that as far as I'm concerned it should be a *male* body, and biology is working against me at every turn. But I can still think of a few things:

1. My big blue eyes. Oh yeah.
2. My jawline. It's more square than I give it credit for.
3. My back. I don't like to look at myself in the mirror from the front, but if I turn around and look over my shoulder I see broad shoulders and a muscular back, and I feel like the big strong guy I am.
4. My belly. Granted, I would love to lose it in favor of some perfectly toned abs, but women say it's cute and it makes me cuddly -- and frankly, anything that makes people want to cuddle with me is fine by me.

well i like my eyes, people say they are pretty when i take off my glasses. i also like my tummy cos i have an aqua belly bar and my skin is all soft there and my boyf says it looks like untroden snow
i like the bit of my neck as well that goes in, it feels soooo nice when you have it kissed!!
i have also been told by my best friend ben and other people that my hands are really nice cos they are long and slim and really small. ben calls them "precious hands!!"

Like, I adore my hair. I think it's beautiful. It's long, reaching my butt, soft, wavy, very thick and has many different natural shades of blonde in it. I love my eyes, too. They're cat-like in shape & color; they're a yellow-green framed by long, dark lashes. I never wear mascara. Umm....my lips are nice, too. My boyfriend says the right word for them is "luscious." And my wrists and the lower half of my arms are nice. My wrists aren't really *slender* but they're nicely shaped, and my arms have nice coloring. My feet are cute, too, I think, even if they are a bit....wide. And i like my breasts when they're in a bra. And my eyebrows are nice, too. They're nicely shaped without much plucking, and dark. My ears are cute, too. Delicate, and the perfect size. Not too big, not too small.

Wow. This is a good thing to think about. I like more of myself than i realized.

"It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

I love my smile, and it's the first thing I notice for guys too. My bf has the most wonderful smile in the world.

I love my eyes. They change colors all the time. Right now they're green, with gold towards the center, and a dark green ring around the edges.

I like my butt despite the fact that I have stretch marks.

I love my skin. I have very pale skin... which is not a bad thing to me. It's amazingly soft and smooth, and the best part is, it'll be like that even when I'm old.

I like the fact that I'm double jointed. It's not attractive, but it's fun to freak people out.

I love my mouth. My lips, my cute crooked grin. (No, not scary. Alicia Silverstone has a crooked grin.) I just love my mouth.

I love my feet. I think that they are cute.

My favorite parts of me are:

My brain -- because, obviously, that makes me who I am inside.

My hair -- I have finally let it grow out, and it's a deep brown/auburn color that shines red in the sun.

My skin -- it is very pale, delicate-looking, and extremely soft -- even the stretch marks.

My body hair -- This is strange, but I love it because it keeps me warm and because it reminds me that even though we're human, we're still animals too.

My overall figure -- it's hourglass and well-proportioned, and I have lots of curves.

My breasts -- they're quite large and fit my figure perfectly.

My feet -- they're small and kind of cute looking.

What's in between my legs -- aren't these reasons obvious?

But for extra favorite parts, I happen to especially love my hips and the small of my back. *shrugs* I don't know why, I just really like that for some reason.

This topic rules! Just listing these things makes me feel 100% more confident about myself.

Take care,

I like my big brown eyes, but I don't like the fact I'm short sighted and have to wear contacts.

I like the shape of my legs, but I don't like the ugly scar on one ankle.

I like the colour of my olive skin but I don't like the naturally dark hairs on my body.

I like my curly hair but I don't like it when it goes frizzy in the rain.

I don't like having small breasts but that will be solved in a years time when I get them enlarged.

I don't like being tall 5'9" cos I'm the same height as most guys I know.

I love my wrists, they are very thin and well shaped.

i like my breasts, they're not too small but not too big and my nipples are beautiful too.

I like my hands and fingernails, they're very humble and soft.

I like my hair because I cut it myself, it's nice and short and I dye brown or red to go with my eyebrows.

*Hugs*

My brain. It's good for thinking up obscure, intellectual things.

My height. I like being little, in a way!

My eyes. They're dark green, usually, although they change with whatever I wear.

My figure. Need I say more?

My eyelashes. They're long, dark, full, and thick. I never wear mascara, and usually don't need it!

We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold on to hers
But when we wake
It's all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams..."

First off, I adore my hands and wrists. I'm a self-taught pianist and composer, I'm a writer and an artist, I paint and sketch and basically everything I do involves my hands. They are deft and quick, and very, very long-fingered and slim. My nails are able to grow long naturally, and look legnthy even when short. I love my hands especially when my veins show a bit, and my wrists are delightfully delicate.
I love my height-- at 5'10", it's easy to be noticed, and to be mistaken for a model once or twice is always nice.
I love my long neck and collarbones, I could play Audrey Hepburn in a film.
I love my back, how its not bony, but slim, and the skin there-- soft and smooth.
I love my feet-- elegant, long, and graceful.
I love my stomach-- not thin, though not fat; it sort of resembles an old Grecian statue's. It's got this really womanly curviness, but is flat enough to show in public and get compliments. It's pale, and I like it that way.
I love my hair, for it's original style that was taken from a Japanese fashion magazine, which nobody else has, it's jagged and face-framing, layered and very eye-catching. My hair has been dyed many times and still it is healthy; I love it's current brown-ness and blond highlights.
I love my lips and my slightly crooked bottom teeth, and my little half-grown-in wisdom tooth on the top left, which is so grand to run along with my tongue. I love my honey-brown, gold-flecked eyes and my black-rimmed glasses, my delicate jawline and high cheekbones.
I love my vagina, as it makes me the woman I am, and my brain, as it keeps me from causing trouble, lets me contemplate the world, exhume my inner intelligence, and experiance life.

Of course, I could say that I dislike my legs _very_ much, and my rear, which I sit on alot-- and that certainly shows... along with my smallish breasts (at 34B) that do look lovely in a bra but less-than-spectacular nude, but hey, who cares! I've just made my day.

My back, haha, you're prolly like...right, okie.
but seriously, it's flawless, well, despite some fat, hehe. i just really like my back.

and if i didn't already say this, my eyes.
they're green on the outside and brown on the inside, which i guess is hazel, but i think they're really neat. not many people have these eyes, ahha.

I also love my eyes. They're a really deep blue, they're big (almost anime big, some say) and I've got full and long eyelashes.

Third would have to be my hair. It's really thick, always shiney, extremely soft, dark brown with natural redish tints and I love it!

I guess the "whole package" isn't too bad.

I like it, and my boyfriend loves it, I do not need to change anything.

Even IF SOMETIMES I admit I would want a little more boobs, when I'm wearing a dress. Not all the time though, only like, once or twice a year...Hehe

*I love my eyes because they are sapphire colored, and they have literally sienna and tannish rims around my pupil. I think my eyes show my confidence. I am trying to love who I am and so far so good.

*~*THiGHZ
*I love my thighs because they are big and juicy. Although my inner thighs have some flab (which is still cute), I enjoy feeling how soft they are (even though sometimes rough because I have stretch marks like everywhere). My thighs, in general, are nice and thick and I like them! I played softball for almost 6 years and I was wearing shorts to a softball tournament (district tournament), and I slid into second base because the girl was about to tag me out, and I wasn't thinking. I landed and I kind of sat there looking around, I guess the coaches and other people thought I had scraped my thighs, but when my head coach came over and asked if I was okay, I was like yeah. He said let me see your thighs, he looked, they were perfectly fine despite the dirt hehe.

*~*CaLVeZ
*I love my calves because they are very muscular! I can leg press 800! WaHoo! Although I have fair-skinned (pale) skin, my legs are beautiful. No complaints thus far.

*~*NoSe
* I definitely like my lil nose because it's "perfect". Seriously! It is! It's not too big, not too small, perfectly rounded, no pointiness, and above all, HaiRLeSS!

*~*BuTT
*Cause it's plump and sexy! HeHe! I can "drop it like it's hot" and I can make it PoP. Something a lot of guys like! I don't dance for guys too often, but the one time I gave a guy a lap dance (my ex bf), he couldn't keep his hands off of my butt. It might not be perfectly round, but my hips make it kind of triangular as unattractive as that may sound.

*~*WRiSTS
* Cause they're small, and the little bracelets and watches can fit them!

*~*HaNDZ
*I love my hands because they're very small! Six inches long from the beginning of my palm to the end of my middle finger. I also like them because my fingers are short and fat, which is kind of cute! I bite my nails as habit (I know, bad habit), so my nails I'm not too fond of, but I get my nails done as much as possible.

*~*BReaSTS
*I like my 44C breasts because they aren't too small and not too big, my hands can just about cup them perfectly. I like how they're so soft all of the time and I actually find my stretch marks on them cute! I like how they're so soft when I'm at normal temperature or I'm hot, but once they are touched or cold, my nipples automatically become hard, and I love my nipples too. hehe. Hope I haven't been too provocative.

*~*HaiR
* I love my hair because I have had a habit and obsession with hair since I was 2 years old, I would crawl in the bed when I had a bad dream with my mother and play with her hair until I got hair of my own. I used to get terrible knots in my hair from twisting and playing with it so much, but I have gotten so talented wiht twisting my hair that I can make my hand move so fast tossing the hair on separate fingers that you can barely see my hand moving and I can put a triple knot in it and pull it right out! Although I got a perm and it fried my perfectly brown blonde highlighted, long, straight hair (which my fiance adores!). It sucks, but I'm going to this beauty college here for my b-day and get my highlights stronger and get a permenant straightner in it.

*~* I pretty much like everything about my body except my stomach and my back because my stomach is so ROLLY and my back has a huge scar from where my ex bf got mad at me and pushed me down 16 feet and I got a metal rod in my back and they had to take it out and I have a perm. scar there. Suckz, I know!

A little off the subject though, I love it when my man rubs the small of my back, it drives me crazy.

Sincerely,
Amanda
