Magisculpt, it’s right there in the name… … But I just didn’t see it. All I wanted was a simple swimsuit to go swimming in. It all came about one day in the summer, you remember that day where it was torrential rain, drains over flowing and water gushing up on to the pavement? Well […]
Fat Girl Exercising Hello my lovelies, my name is Gemma and I am fat. “Nooooo, don’t call yourself that!” I hear you cry, “You are beautiful.” And that I am! This may sound conceited but, like every other wonderful human creature, I am beautiful and the fact that I am fat doesn’t make these […]
