ZBB member photos, part 5. (Something for the weekend, sir?)

[WeepingElf]

I've just had a haircut, too. Gosh do I look pale there (The pic on the left is sharpened because my face was slightly out of focus, it's what you get at f/2 and using your own arm stretched out to hold the cam at distance)

The photos look as if the proportions of your face have changed. A visual illusion, I guess.

[Jipí]

Zounds! you're right! My nose looks longer, my eyes larger, and my face more narrow.

[Izambri]

The power of Haircut.

[schwhatever]

In the second picture, maybe your jaw is slightly open (even if your lips are closed still), pulling your cheeks slightly tighter and maybe pulling the folds (what is the technical term for the sides of noses that meld into cheeks?) of your nose down and in? That's the only explanation I can think of.

Oh and Astraios, I think part of it is that you're skinny, yes, but you also seem to be wearing a really baggy shirt? Not that there's anything wrong with that, just that it will make you look even skinnier.

Hm, true - though I never seem to be able to find T-shirts in a size that would actually fit my body. xD

Try children's stores. Nah, really, it sounds like I'm trolling, but I had a really really skinny friend and she got away with wearing children's clothes... of course, I don't know if a shirt that shows the navel is your style xD

[Jipí]

The jeans I'm wearing right now are from the children's department at C&A. They're actually oversized for children (size 182), but I'm too skinny to wear adult-sized trousers (28/34 is pretty uncommon a size, 30/* is where it usually starts). So actually 182 and 188 are children's sizes continued to adult body height either for very tall children or for skinny people like me, however you'd still typically find them in children's departments. Finding shirts in S for men is difficult as well sometimes. And then there's the whole problem of buying shoes as a man with size 42 (8½ in US sizes I think) and very narrow feet.

My boyfriend in 5'3" and he gets some of his clothes children-sized. On the other hand, he is extremely stocky and broad, so in some respects he has the opposite problem to you guys.

[finlay]

I have more of that kind of problem. Since I'm short (5'6"), stocky anyway and a bit overweight (which I don't like, but still haven't found the willpower to correct, ugh...), it can be difficult to find trousers that have a wide enough waist and a short enough leg. I think the optimum measurements are 29" leg and 33" waist. Of course if I lost weight I could alleviate the problem, but I'm never going to be skinny-thin, I don't think.

Oooh post a picture of you two here!

Astraois you too!

This is basically my problem, though I'm not that short. But I'm 5'7" with a fairly broad chest and shoulders. I usually wear small sizes, but the fit isn't always perfect.

Maybe it's just the one I've been to in Chester, but I didn't like any of theirs. I'll try the ones in Manchester.

Lol I do have a few children's clothes actually, but which fit me properly without showing anything. xD

Astraois you too!

Of me and my boyfriend? He would be very cross if he found out I'd posted a picture of him online.

Same here. Small shirts tear at the shoulders, medium shirts have sleeves that cover my hands.

[Risla]

I have the opposite problem from most of you: I'm 5'11" and built like an ogre, with very broad shoulders and chest (and a massive head, which is 24" in circumference). I often end up buying men's clothes; I don't think I've had a pair of women's athletic shoes since I was twelve or so. Women's shirts are almost invariably too short for me when otherwise the right size, so I have to size up.

[Morrígan]

A more flattering picture, from a more flattering angle.

[Dewrad]

I'm not sure if we've ever actually seen you face-on, you know.

[Bristel]

That's a cute photo, Goatface

[jal]

I got a new hair cut!

The hair looks good, though I'd be scared to death being a hairdresser and having to cut the hair set above that face! Do you ever smile?

Being medium in all aspects seems weird now, especially seeing the most recent posts. My pants are 30-32/32-33 (depending on brands and such) and I wear M t-shirts. It seems I'm rather bland

Also, people think I look skinny now. 170 lbs/6' or 77,5kg/183 cm for the records.

(Oh, and I found out I lost most of my strength. Hopefully it will come back during the following 4 months of muscle workout I planned.)

And then there's the whole problem of buying shoes as a man with size 42 (8½ in US sizes I think) and very narrow feet.

My father had this problem, and IIRC there are places that specify the width of the shoes in the size, in addition to the length, but you may have to special-order them.

I sometimes buy shirts from the men's department, just because they are guaranteed not to have stupid glitter shit and funky stylings and strange size issues, like where it's tight around the waist but floofy up around the arms and shoulders. Sometimes the men's shirts are tighter around the hips, or longer than I'd prefer, but at least they are still recognizable as shirts!
