Not regarding you, you svelte beast, but the now-ex-wife of a friend of mine once asked him, "Does this piece of clothing make me look fat?"
"No, your *fat* makes you look fat."
Who could have predicted that it wouldn't work out between them?

That's pretty! I hope you're enjoying it with the downtime provided by the current troubles.
No, it makes you look like a lefty.

Of course, a small guitar body, combined with a ribbed&zipped sweater collar is a step in that direction.
But to go all the way, you need Tomas Callister's fiddle.

Hey, no ribbing of my mate Tom! He’s 100% musical muscle!
I remember, at a long-ago Fox Hollow Festival, a rather large man onstage played a rather small mandolin. One of my companions remarked that you could see the player on every side of his instrument -- a fact usually observed only with pennywhistle and concertina players.
Now, my Weber "sopranolin" does make me look fat. But, lotsa other things do as well...

Seriously, a really wide octave mandolin can make one look heavier!
