My lord Brok the Smith loves the SCA because it is one of the few places in
this modern 'society' where full figured women show themselves to wonderful
advantage. Many of you have heard him go on about how mundane society
promotes anorexic chahuahua's (not a slam towards thin women, just thin and
high strung types) and larger women are made to feel lesser people. Well,
VIVAT the SCA ability to allow people to be who they are and not have to
conform to a narrow modern ideal of beauty. Different body types are
historically accurate. Thin and boyish is a modern view of beauty, or a
period sign of extreme illness and frailty. 

Lets hear it for Good Strong Peasant Stock!!!! (Hmmm, should make mighty fine
soup)

                                     Miriam--the other one.Whose lord doesn't
want her to loose the baby weight and found her attractive at 9 months
pregnant.

P.S. Brok says that if any of you Rubenesque types ever are willing to model
for him he would love to imortalize you in bone, stone, or steel. He is
always looking for 'Goddess' type models, and as those who know me are aware,
I am a bit thinner than he is looking for. (In a model that is! I make up for
it in other ways :) ).
                                  Miriam- who tries to be a lady, but
sometimes it is so...hard. (sigh) (I think I've had enough beer thank you
Miriam Rachel and wipe that smirk off your face!)
