I woke up this morning intending to write a little bit about the film Juno, which I saw last night. But I got seriously sidetracked. While looking for a nice, pregnant belly picture for this post, I discovered that there are people out there with a body inflation fetish. I'm going to try to discuss this based on what info I was able to cobble together...
This community (and I think it's a small one) seems to be divided into a few sections. There is the hardcore body-modification set, who fill the area under their skin temporarily with saline or gas. You can look for pictures of this yourself.
There are the huge breast/huge belly fetishists who appreciate breast enlargement, pregnancy, and fake inflation (with some sort of suit, I assume).
And there is a group of people who seem to be into the more imaginary side of the fetish, morphing already existing 
images to make them appear inflated and drawing/appreciating inflation images in comics and culture. Right now I can't decide whether to be disturbed or amused. It seems to be the pleasure of watching a woman be overwhelmed by her sexuality, watching her helplessly become nothing but a pair of breasts and a belly. It's sometimes implied that she enjoys this, and has a need to be relieved of her juicy burden.
Now I've filled most of a page with inflation talk. I wanted to say that Juno was a great movie. Well cast, nicely shot, great soundtrack, reminiscent of Wes Anderson's films. I was a bit uncomfortable with the passive role that Michael Cera's character played in the whole pregnancy, but the film got me into a great discussion with my friend Edie about babies, goals, and what it means to be ready to have a child.
Onward to blueberry pancakes.

Liz, I want to know what you think of Juno.
Now I want to start a blog again but I wonder if there's any point -I have commitment issues.

I understand about the commitment issues. But I miss my old blog, and wish I hadn't deleted it so I'd have it to learn from now.
As for Juno, I think you'd enjoy it. My main complaints: some of Juno's dialogue seemed a bit too clever and mature. But not too much. And there wasn't a lot of depth to the exploration of what it meant to be a pregnant teen. I guess I'm expecting a lot from a pop film.
I laughed out loud a few times, and might have cried. A little.
Overall, very cute.
you moody women.
embrace your blogs. why do you write them and then delete them in a fit? why?
Why did i log into your old blog one day liz, and find that you had turned into a young Korean girl blogging about her handbags?
write them in the hope that one day you can read them and either giggle or cringe in embarassment.
this is the first article/blog i have seen about inflation that doesn't cast it in a negative light.
thank you for being open minded.
by the way.
the community is very huge.
i used to think it was small too.
Every weekend i used to pay a visit this web site, for the reason that i want enjoyment,
as this this web page conations actually nice funny information too.
My blog: affordable-dental-plan.org
Its like you learn my mind! You appear to grasp a lot about this,
such as you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you simply can do with some % to power the message home a bit, however other than that, this is wonderful blog. A fantastic read. I'll definitely be back.
