That reminds me of the time I did a self-portrait and showed it (covered below the armpit level) to a friend. He looked at it and finally asked whether I wanted to have muscles like that (meaning, did I want to develop muscles that looked like the ones in the picture). I said, "I DO have muscles like that!" He'd only ever seen me in polite clothes, which aren't revealing.
It only goes to show the deceptiveness of appearances, and how clothes can disguise just about anything.
A friend of mine who lived in Minnesota had a baby (well, two babies, six years apart) in August. She said no one had a clue she was pregnant until she was in her third trimester, because of the bulky warm clothes she had to wear.
