Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 What a cool moment for you. A memory to be treasured and a picture to be relished. It is funny what we do after the tummy tuck isn't it? I am two months out also. Hit 's Secret and got new panties and new bra's. Then decided (must have been an insane moment) that I needed a really kick butt outfit to wear to our Dog Club Christmas party. I ended up with a black Velvet blouse with chiffon sleeve and a cleavage that was MADE for those Secret Bra's! Then I got a shorter black velvet skirt with little sparkles around the little lace on the hem (I would have normally worn velvet pants, but the ones I had didn't fit and I couldn't find any that did!). Wore black tights (ok I hate my knee scars) and little patten leather flats. I definitely got LOADS of comments. This is NOT the conservative outfit I would usually wear. And it was really pushing my comfort zone, but was THRILLED and everyone said I looked GREAT. So, I guess it was worth a little bit of personal discomfort (not used to wearing sexy stuff). I think took a picture....if he did I will post it to the photo's section.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 OMG i love this story it is the best!!! i am crying with joy for you janice Fantasy Outfit (long) Yesterday I found out that I am still an attractive and desirable woman. This may sound strange but I didn't really know. I am two years out from my RNY and about 2 months out from my tummy tuck. I know that I wear a size 10 top and size 6/8 pants now. I also know that at 38 years old I will never look like a Barbie doll or a movie star. I have gotten used to being " normal " most of the time. Yesterday, I visited a medivally-themed event and saw a booth offering chain mail jewelry. I liked the jewelry but loved the chain mail link bikini modeled by a Barbie doll sitting on the display counter. When the guy asked if I was interested in anything I saw, I laughed saying I wished I could wear the same outfit the Barbie was wearing. He looked at me and told me that he didn't see why I couldn't, then held up a " life-sized " version of the outfit and said it should fit fine. I laughed again at the little scrap of woven metal he held and the idea that I could wear anything that small and sexy. Inside, however, I was intrigued with the idea. I have always read a lot of fantasy/sci-fi and this outfit was the ultimate fantasy outfit for me. I admitted to him that idea of owning the outfit appealed to me but that I just couldn't afford it and what I really wanted was just a photo of me in it as a Christmas present for my husband. At that point, a friend of the sellers volunteered that he was a photographer and would be willing to help me out and take a picture of me in it with his digital camera. The seller said that while he couldn't loan me the bottom piece, he would sell me just the bottom piece and loan me the top if he could have a copy of the picture for display. I warned them both up front that I was not attractive under my clothes and had lots of scars and other imperfections. Both insisted that helping me fulfill my fantasy would be their pleasure. I felt bad that the photographer was wasting his time on photographing a middle-aged woman who was showing almost every physical imperfection she had in something meant more for a twenty-something hard body. The photographer's only reaction was I was crazy. He told me not to think of my body as being in competition with Aphrodite, but that I should think of myself as Juno. He even joked that most men found Juno at least as attractive and a lot more desirable in many cases. He also said that photographing women in sexy outfits was not a hardship that most men would complain about in almost any case. I knew I made the right choice as soon as I put the outfit on. I can't begin to tell you the pleasure I felt putting on something that I thought couldn't fit me but did and was the most exciting outfit I could image wearing. As expected, my open RNY scar was lightly visible as well as the more obvious pink/purple newly healed scar from my tummy tuck. My thighs sagged slightly and my breast just barely fit in the top and sagged a little out the sides. It didn't matter. The outfit was magic. What was amazing to me was that as pleased as I was, both men, the photographer and the seller, looked at me in the outfit with admiration. Neither said or did anything inappropriate but both let me know they thought I was a highly desirable woman who had a VERY lucky husband. The picture is not the best quality photograph I have ever seen but I will treasure it always. B.
