    It has a very USA 70’s feel to it, don’t you think?

    @Raads – No, some people just have lots of things. It’s not always about body image. Chances are you think that because you are not happy with your own body image. I would suggest that you build a bridge and get over it. Also, spelling counts for a lot on the internet.
