More Awful than You! May: Clothing Meshes of the Damned

[Tsarina]

You know what? I think they pulled it. I can't find it anywhere on Parsimonious now either. And I didn't find it long ago. Does that invalidate my awesome entry? Oh well. I still have moon dress.

Moon Dress is cool, I just wanted Extra Joint Dress so badly
Meh. I'll go download Moon Dress for Dina Caliente.

Er, check your PMs. You might find something you want there.

Curses! No wonder I couldn't find it to enter it. Hopefully I still have it zipped up on my drive somewhere. I have some sims who might be feelin' the Bendy-Shin Blues. 

[Cimaronna]

ZOMG!

I want all of these meshes for my fashion disasters neighborhood! (Someone remind me to create one,  ok?) Those are just amazing! Who comes up with this crap? I must go on a hunt, now. If I have a vote, I'm going for the extra joints, and I really want to see a Bendy-Shin dance, now!

This mesh has always slightly horrified me:

*is slightly horrified*

Those boobs just don't live upstairs from that waist. It doesn't work. Not without some sort of flying buttress support system to keep the top half of the body from lolling over and snapping at the waist. But the part that completely throws the whole thing into horrorland is the fact that the mesh (as seen in the jeans, in particular) compounds its crimes by leaving such ample junk in the trunk, as well as the padding throughout the hips and upper thighs. By itself, the whole pelvis/thigh region is a fairly nice, voluptuous shape (if one ignores the slightly pointy buttcheeks), but then to expect us to believe that such a well-padded area is just south of such a ludicrously pinched waist is... well, it's ludicrous. And slightly horrifying, indeed.

Actually, my mom was friends with a lady who really did have a similar build to this.  She wore an 'H' cup over a 32" waist. When she tried a new bra company, they didn't believe her about her measurements. They replied to her that it was impossible for her back to support the weight of those things. She stripped from the waist up, had her husband take a picture, and sent it to the company. They sent her the bras. I don't know about her butt as I was a little kid at the time. She bragged about her frontal aspects enough that I remember it well.

The part I was objecting to wasn't merely the size of the boobs; it was their situation. Especially considering the relative, snappable size of the waist, boobs of that size just *don't* sit up all perky like that without some flying buttresses to support the weight. Or at least some bamboo scaffolding. 

[J. M. Pescado]

Someone should make such a mesh, WITH the scaffolding.

I remember Lolo Ferarri had to walk around actually holding her huge boobs up. I suspect if she let go of them they would have settled about mid-thigh.

[Assmitten]

OMG, I just googled Lolo Ferrari. 54J! AY YI YI! The images page made my brain hurt.

[Zazazu]

Why? It's just fat. It's not like she worked to get them that way. And at that size, they'd be flat and down to her knees without a bra. Speaking from experience...I'm well-endowed myself and my one gramma was an EE (should have been in an F).

And she's a bit of a sad case that one too.  She died, IIRC, by suffocating herself with her artificial boobs though I think there was something about drugs too - it might have been sleeping tablets rather than illegal drugs.

OMG times infinity! I figured this was urban legend, but nooo, I know it because of my wikipedia learnings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolo_Ferrari#Death

If she wasn't on anything, she probably would have struggled and not smothered. I feel sad for her.

That is sick, sick, sick!  Why can't I stop playing it over and over?  It makes my ankles cringe every time their little legs bend.  It hurts.

That mentions her husband.  I'd forgotten him.  He was tres creepy.  I don't remember him being arrested on suspicion of ... what?  Assisting her suffocation?  The linked BBC report doesn't mention it though.

Woooo... got motion sick from the camerawork... I wish they'd left the camera stationary and limited to zooming in occasionally instead of doing (apparently) the Camera Cabbage Patch.

Don't you think that might have been my point?

Oops. My bad.
Also, that was supposed to read as a 23" waist. My brother-in-law recommends stainless steel cups and aircraft cables. Sounds awfully uncomfortable to me.

I have no idea, but she did enough for even a little girl to retain it decades later. Go figure what some people take pride in but she did.

That is really nasty looking! I keep watching it in fascinated horror. Oh my sides!

[Simsbaby]

"You make me feel like dancing, gonna bend the night away!"
lulz.
Oh, I wish I could remember some of the meshes I had in the early days of the game. Dr. Pixel made some bendy ankles too, I think.

Did he? *cue evil laughter* Lucky I've never deleted anything I've downloaded from him.

Edit: How disappointing. I looked through everything that I had downloaded, and not a single bendy-shin. I realize I didn't snag all of clothing way back then, because some of it was most certainly not my style.

I am, however, relieved to find that I'm not that unobservant!

So hypnotically horrible

[SalixTree]

er.. CandyRain isn't at Parsimonious anymore.
Lovely meshes, peepul, I'm quite enjoying each one.

[Kazzandra]

Oh hai there SalixTree!



Early version of those black clothes-- notice the awful resolution of the pen on the shirt. My More Awful Than You! Creation, right there. But notice the awesome purple outfit on the other girl

Those pigtails look like they were dipped in paste. Hee.

I usually don't care for the big, fancy full-face makeup masks, but those two work really well. And am duly noticing the awesomeness of the purple outfit. Tres pretty!

[SalixTree]

*grin* thanks guys.. but hehe.. this is the place where we laugh at stuff, yes?
Don't mind me, I usually lurk here , sneak by now and then to get a chuckle, but never post...
*waits for more bad meshes*

[Kazzandra]

Before this becomes a More Awful than Kazzandra! contest, I put in this entry. The base bodyshop mesh is a no-brainer-- Warlokk's Booty Girl is the epitome of fruit-shaped parts. But just look what you can do with it! ZOMG! Classy!



Here's the actual dress on a model! No difference at all.
