flat belly

Self-pic, 2005

I think I took this for "Flat Belly Friday"...a concept created by Ty, ex-blogger and supahbadass/writer. I'm not sure how this came about. Every friday he posted pics of flat bellies of fellow bloggers, friends, and lurkers. Every week he asked for pictures, and every week he received them. The cropped, anonymous shots were hot in an intriguing way. It made you wonder which blogger was sending in her belly pics.

I confess one of those bloggers was me. I sent him quite a few pics, and he used them all. I'm not sure why I started sending them in. I guess it was my part of my exhibitionist side coming out. It was always the comfort of being semi-anonymous. He knew who I was, and I suppose he could have told his friends. Yet, there was nothing that connected me to the random pics.

My FBF pics were bolder than my pics for Half Nekkid Thursday. My initial HNT pics were mild: a shot of my bicep or my stomach. The boldest pic I ever took was a frontal shot of me in a bra. Now HNT is more like full nekkid, and it's been a while since I participated. I don't want to knock the hnt-ers. I just know it's not for me.

On the other hand, I miss the mystery of Flat Belly Friday. It was a fun experience.
