Makeup style/brands: I like to make my eyes really dark. Lots of eyeliner <3 Black liquid eyeliner on the top-swooping out and slightly up at the ends for that cat eye look. Black eyeliner pencil on bottom to give a little bit of shade and color to my bottom lid. Sometimes I use eyeshadow-sometimes I do not. Blushy cheeks and pale pink/beige lip glosses-but if I am feeling daring..than I bust out the red lipstick lol..Brands-Jane, MAC, Clinique, Maybelline, Cover Girl, Urban Decay

Tattoos: Pink star outlined in purple on my right shoulder blade, a logo for one of my close friends band above my left breast (it's a black/red/white heart with an L in the middle-so it's generic enough to stand for love-but I am gonna get it fixed I think to be just a solid heart-cause eventually I would like some kind of chest piece), small pink heart outlined in black on inner right wrist, Betty Boop with angel wings with my nickname "Boop" arched above her on my lower back, a daisy on my left shoulder blade, and an image from the new cure self titled album (the heart with the wings and the eye in the middle) right below the base of my neck.

Section 5: Opinions
Abortion: Pro-Choice-I think the woman should have the end and final choice as to what she does with the baby.
Drugs: Against them-unless it is needed for medical use
War: Anti-war-I just don't really see a point in them..I don't understand how using violence in the end really helps anyone
Racism: Anti-Racism (All people are equal in my mind and heart) Racism is one of the most horrible things ever. Racist people make me wanna puke and than punch them in the face!
Death penalty: Pro-Choice..I guess I chose the wrong wording for this answer-what I mean is it should be left up to the state and or the people of that state if they are able to do that-to decide on death penalty or not-Hah sorry if I confused some of you <3
What should the legal driving age be: I believe it should be 16 years old
What should the legal drinking age be: 18 years old. If you are legal at the age, can purchase porn and cigarettes, and can vote-I believe you should be able to also purchase and drink alcohol.
What should be the smallest size to be considered a plus: a size 12, because I have many friends who are a size 12 and they are still curvy and have a nice size to them
Section 6: Fat Chance
How did you find Fat Chance: Actually I came across you guys when I hit Mia Tyler(who is listed under my interests) and it brought up a bunch of different communities-so I clicked on this one and really enjoyed what I saw going on in here.
Promote us to at least one person or community: Honestly, I am not exactly sure what you mean by this question-but I will go and promote you to my best friend who also has a live journal on here and her name is krazyta2dmel I will go tell her all about you guys and see if she would also like to take a chance and join :)
Why do you want to be part of our community: For so long I wasn't accepting of my body-but than recently I had this whole change of attitude and was finally pleased with my body and I finally accepted it. I thought why should I dislike something that was made for me and only me. It's my body and I should be very pleased with it. Ever since than I also realized that I can indeed be big but also be beautiful. I don't need to be a certain size to see my own unique beauty. So when I came across here and really liked what I saw and read and thought it would be nice and positive for me to surround myself with others who may feel the same way I do. It seemed like everyone in here is so friendly, so if I got accepted I would love to befriend some of you-or hell all of you! Last but not least, thank you all for taking your time out to read this and to take a look at my pictures <3
Here are some pics of me-I hope you all enjoy
ps-I came in to clear up any confusion that maybe a few of my answers might have caused
