Description:

Beauty comes in many shapes and sizes, but unfortunately in today’s society if you wear larger than a size five, or have the wrong color hair, or any other variety of things that makes you “different� you aren’t considered to be beautiful. I say forget about all that mess and join the body acceptance movement. Big is beautiful and it’s time we started loving every one of our curves, dimples, and heck, even our rolls.

For this swap you will write a letter to two partners, it may be handwritten or typed but it must be sent through snailmail to be considered as meeting the swap guidelines. In this letter you must address the following things:

1) What aspect of your body that you love.

2) At least one incident where you have felt less than desirable because of your size and what you did to handle it.

3) An example of your ideal body type.

4) How you cope with being a big girl in a skinny girl’s world.

More is always welcome of course! Basically the point of this letter is to share your thoughts, and feelings with your partner on being plus size, as well as forcing you to look at yourself in a new light and love what you see.

In addition to the letter please send a small gift, around $5.00, to your partner that will help them pamper and/or improve their beautiful selves. Examples would be a nice candle, a pair of panties, a box of chocolates, a nice lotion or bubble bath, etc. Handmade items are always welcome. Used, dirty, or otherwise stained items are not.

Now for the rules:

  • Newbies are welcome with a COMPLETELY filled out profile and if you message me first. If you are unsure what completely filled out means, please ask and I will direct you to a few profiles that I have found useful when it came time to shop. I would also suggest newbies check out the following link for people willing to set up rated private swaps to help newbies build ratings

  • If you do not have 10 rated swaps where you had to send items (sorry no internet swaps) in the past six months you are considered a newbie and must follow the above guidelines.

  • No members with lower than 4.8 may join. If you feel that your rating is lower than this because of an unfair rating message me and we’ll see what we can do to handle this.

  • No no-sends in the past 3 months, and if I notice an large amount of late-sends I will also ask you to explain.

  • Please log on frequently to check the status of this and your other swaps. I have a cut-off point for the amount of time between your last login and the day partners are assigned. If you are past that point I will have to ban you. If you are going to be gone during the time partners are assigned please leave a message on your profile or message me so you aren’t accidently banned because of this rule.

  • This is an international swap.

  • Please no overly picky swappers. This swap is fairly open-ended and if you will only accept certain brands or items it's probably not the swap for you.

  • The most important rule to remember is swap unto others as you would like to be swapped unto!

I will ban after the swap closes, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you see a questionable swapper.

awesome theme. i am glad to see it here. =) does sending a body positive zine count as a pampering item? =>

thatzghetto 02/12/2008 #

It would if you sent it to me nicci. :) I'm curious to see what a zine is.

I forgot to include my letter in my package. I got so caught up packaging everything. So my partners will get this swap in 2 seperate envelopes. Yay for me being blonde!
