Mine comes from my time as a biology student. It is a chick embryo that has been stained to show the presence of a particular protein. The image was taken through an optical microscope.

I definitely appreciate the irony – and, of course, I’m well aware that dysmorphia can also affect the muscular physiqued ladies as well as the thin ladies who are trying to emulate models, actresses, etc. Additionally, if taken to extremes, the physique lifestyle can be as unhealthy as the the thin, calorie-counting lifestyle. My reason for postingis more the body politics side of things – a muscular woman is proud of her body for what it can do. She is refusing to reduce herself, to apologise for taking up space in the world and is probably bold and conident.

Sorry gents. I missed those links. Looks as though it must be genuine. :ohmy: :angry:

Ah Alex, no, not the mainstream outlets, but, in this era of alternative news sources, many of which cover unusual stories such as this, I’d have hoped that some source outside of the BBing game would have covered it. For example, if, as the writer of the link you posted claims, the Swedish government and media are rabidly anti-BBing, wouldn’t we expect one of their newspapers or news sources to be gleefully reporting this? :huh:

That, sir, is, for me, post of the year. B) I couldn’t agree with you more. I immediately spotted the athletic thighs reference.

Wow! :ohmy: :woohoo: B)

Sorry Alex, I don’t want to get wrong with you, but all the links you’ve posted come from within the BBing community. Any closed community can become an echo chamber – politics at both ends of the spectrum are typical examples.

I’m absolutely stunned to see Nicole Ball omitted from most of these lists (and to a lesser extent Jennifer McVicar). You’re telling me you would take Alina Popa (great body but her face is meh) over Nicole Ball??? Either I’m missing something or the fbb fan population has gone totally insane…

Just to echo Alex’s response, I’d just point-out that thie thread is not about debating the competitive merits of different FBBers (where there is a certain amount of objectivity that can be applied) but is about which over the years have triggered the deepest, most primal response in us. That, by definition, is a completely subjective assessment, so any statements to the effect of “I am right and you are wrong” is wasted and pointless. I happen to find Nicole Ball’s face very harsh and (yes, I’ll say it) substance-damaged. My point is that many of you will strongly disagree, and my opinion is no more, or less valid than yours.

How could I have forgotten Mavi Gioia?:blush:
