Lol.. I had to do this for my 3 month old baby once. The poor little guy had a bit sticking out and it wasn't coming out. He hadn't pooped in 4 days, which for a baby is pretty crazy. So, I removed the "plug" very gently with a the tip of a rectal thermometer. The "plug" was weird and very dry and sandy looking, then some more, and more, and then all of a sudden it was like a soft serve chocolate ice cream machine, it just kept coming out! The little guy was screaming and giving it all he had, I felt so bad for him, but also happy. And when he was done he had this really tired smile and looked so content. Then he passed out. (Babies do that a lot anyhow) Thank god baby poop doesn't stink too bad.

TL;DR: I'm going to have a great story to use as blackmail material when my son gets to dating age. And as a bonus, it involved poop. And poop is funny.

I've had the awkward position of being the artist left in the "womb view" before. It wasn't interesting, it was basically just legs and a crotch. I moved to a new position. Most artists probably won't be interested in this point of view so you needn't worry too much about it.

In other news: Non-academic figure drawing groups usually have at least one or two pervs there. You can spot them because they can't draw for shit, sweat a lot and/or otherwise look nervous, and don't stand up during breaks.

I had a really bad case of Alopecia Areata for about a year and a half... I basically lost 2/3 of all of my hair (everywhere) and my head looked sort of like the moon, even if I shaved. Patches of dark, patches of light, etc.

I lost a job because of it. People would stare at me from time to time. I got married with it, in fact, and on my wedding day I had to endure a few comments about it.

A few things I learned:

1. Superficial crap like looks can go away overnight. Investing too much in your looks is mostly a huge waste of time. Exercise and eat right to be healthy and happy, not to attract people to you. Anyone that would be attracted by that is probably an idiot anyhow. Try your best to look good enough that you feel happy, don't worry about the rest.

2. Little kids are curious. Don't get mad at them if they stare/ask questions/point/whatever ... they're just kids.

3. Elderly women are sometimes the biggest douchebags on the planet. Prior to this I thought they were all sweet, little, wrinkley people that wanted to feed me pie. I still sort of think that, but they were the most annoying group, on average, that I would run into at the supermarket.

4. Most people genuinely don't give a fuck what you look like. They just want you to be nice to them and/or leave them alone anyway (even if you look perfectly normal).

5. If you have to wait a long time at the dermatologist because of all the trophy wives getting botox... just start coughing and itching A LOT... they'll all reschedule. (Eventually the doctor will start scheduling you at times when it's less busy)

TL;DR: I empathize a little, some bullshit about my life, the only good advice is in number 5 above.

PT19, B215, UC78, B17, L4, AT6, L5, C45, T6, C47, OA10, B25, KC97, KC135 (707), and....C130

Now with links, for the lazy.

EDIT: this is also a candidate for the OA10 that he flew, apparently the designation has been used twice?

Oh... last piece of unsolicited advice:

If you can: Find some children that have the same condition you do and volunteer with or mentor them. Sometimes there are support groups or meetups for kids with conditions like yours (or mine). It will make you feel better about yourself and your condition, and it will bring them comfort that everything is going to be okay and that they might be as cool as you are someday. (Kids always have an inflated view of adults that are cool to them)
