You are derailing my thread, not the picture, but fine, if it will help you sleep at night - I will remove it.

Oh take it to the thunderdome PigmanII. It's bothering some people.

I think it's fine with the blanked out face.

oh for god sake, she posted a pic of a woman, who yes, i'm going to say she was fat and her choice of clothes was something to laugh at, she looked like an idiot!
yes silly sausage should have blacked out the faces sooner but she did as soon as she was called on it. infact i hope this woman or someone that knows her sees this thread and maybe knock some dress sence into the poor misfortunate badly dressed woman.

oh and thanks for the pic gillo! not exactly what i was thinking about but....yeah...very nice indeed.

How do you work that out? I wasn't even the first person to pass comment on the possible misuse of the photo.

I always sleep great at night so in that regard it makes no difference to me. However it might make a big diff to the person whose photo you (imho) unjustifiably took. Might even make you seem a tad less judgmental in the long-term too.

As opposed to what? Where did I say 'all' or 'most' or anything to the contrary of 'some'? My use of the word people is to indicate a number at least greater than 1 person.

Indeed, and guess what my use of the word 'some' is used to indicate.

I take it there's little chance of you recognising that your point has been made, hammered home, and now just become irritating?

I am pretty sure that if the mods found the pic offensive that it would be removed ASAP.

Actually I hadn't gotten a chance to look at the picture yet. It's coming up as "invalid attachment" for me.

Whether it's okay or not largely depends on whether the person in question knows you're posting a picture of them here?

In terms of people following fashion even if it does not flatter them - I imagine that some people do not have a strong sense of fashion so are swayed by the media, it can also be hard to find something that suits when certain trends are blanketing the streets. There is also the issue of size - the fact that some companies may make their sizes larger partially to make people feel better must show something, certainly, it is disheartening to wear a larger size.

For me I would take from the trends that are valid to my figure and equally would search for items that are my own style - I would rather be a trend setter than a trend follower. I would also tend to go for more expensive pieces if they are classics and if I want an item that looks great but is not my normal style will go for the cheaper brands. It is very important to wear the correct size - am normally a size 8-10 but I had to get a 12 in a dress which had a fitted corset top and no break in the skirt just to get my chest through it...it still hurt though!

You still haven't answered the question. Why are you at pains to point out 'some' people when I had offered nothing to the contrary?

Actually, it seems you are the one finding it hard to recognise comprehend certain details. I hadn't made (or wished to make) any further statement against the pix or its poster since it was removed.

Not really if the person is still recognisable by other features.

In future keep attachments restricted to public domain images and images posted with the permission of the person in the photo.

Drop what?

And whilst you're answering that question you can answer the 'some' people comment question too. Cheers.
