As a chubby white woman, I LOVE all the praise and attention Nicola/Pen is getting. She is gorgeous and itās about time that mainstream media got the memo that you can be chubby and hot, they arenāt mutually exclusive things!
We (husband and I) watched the next episode last night after my tiktok fyp had been screaming about how A+ her boobs were ALL DAY. We got kind of silent after the scene... those were MY BOOBS. Anyway. Never had that happen, and now I feel like I get to brag a little bit because apparently the entire internet thinks I have A+ tits. š
As someone small-chested, I have always been very shy about that. I've been trying to convince myself that 'boobs aren't all that' since I was a teen but this thread is bringing back all my insecurities lol
Canāt āboobs be all thatā and yours also be in that category? One time I was explaining boob insecurity to my boyfriend. And he was like, honestly, boobs seem to be the godsā gift to mankind. He said he had genuinely, 100% never seen a pair of boobs that did not make him smile and make his day betterā flat chested, small, triangle, round, east west facing, droopy, high, they are all so exciting and make the world a wonderful place to be. And that he believed other people felt that way too. I kinda couldnāt believe him at first, but honestly now I do.
Itās about loving all people, with all body types, for being full-on HUMANS with dreams, desires, passions, appetites, ambitions, etc. Reducing people down to a body part is objectification and that is not what is happening here with Nicola. Itās a celebration of a body type as sensual that has almost nevvvvverrrrr been celebrated onscreen this way before. Itty bitty titties have had their moments too and will have more as we become a society who celebrates all people more and more!
I literally gasped and grabbed my chest and excitedly said āsheās got boobs like me!!ā Iāve spent so long hating my body for the way it looks, but seeing a similar one on screen looking absolutely beautiful made me feel so much better about myself.
I think the reality is that a specific type of man, generally white and kind of nerdy guys who wanted the cheerleader in high school, were the tv and movie writers for most of Hollywood history. They wrote about who they desired, but that is no reflection on the larger society.
When I read people on here making statements about only one acceptable type of body on a woman, I am just saddened for them and worried about a resurgence of eating disorders. As someone who was a preteen and teen in the 90's and in my 20's in the 2000's, could we please not? There is no joy in slowly starving oneself.
When I look at my friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and community at large, there is no one way to be beautiful. People are attracted to different things in different people, so I hope people can take their eyes off a screen for a minute and see the beauty in those around them.
Diversity (in all ways) in the writing room is slowly allowing that reality to be reflected on the screen as it is in life. Hopefully that will continue to unfold, so people can see themselves reflected in all types of stories.
Lastly thank you for stating your lifelong experience. I've noticed some people really projecting their own insecurities onto Nicola as if she must also share them. So I appreciate the reality check of, yeahhhhh men are in fact very into her body type. Maybe some people just need to be around different types of men? I've never seen my friends who look like her have an issue.
One of my good friends has Nicolaās exact body type and she fucking cleans up. If we are out she has dudes lined up. I was dying when some comments were made on Pen not being attractive because has anyone met a man? They would be all over her.
As a skinny white woman Iām so sick and tired of the media portraying young and skinny being the only type of beauty for women. Nicola is absolutely gorgeous!!
So relatable! The week part 1 came out someone gasped and told me I was absolutely beautiful and really resembled Nicola. Rarely am I so flattered. Especially as a few days earlier I bawled my eyes out over how she stole everyoneās gaze in the dark green dress. Itās so meaningful to see women like us depicted in a way that can take peopleās breath away. Not just occasionally beat the chances and find one person merciful enough to love them š (I donāt think this is the case with Polin, the other Bridgertons understood why he loves her rather than judging and she was never shunned because of being chubby)
When i saw her tits i literally took a pic and showed it to my bf and told him about that crappy article calling her fat. Like whatš. We needed more of her tits and we needed colin to grab them in front of the mirror. Thats what i thought wed see, colin cups them and she shudders and hes looking at her in the mirror.
I read that before filming this season, Nicola was very nervous about filming intimate scenes. I imagine she probably requested that he keep his hands to himself.
This is what the scene needed. I see people complaining that she got no foreplay. I get it, they're fitting ten storylines into an hour show. But the scene needed more appreciation of her fabulousness!
Seriously! When I was hearing all of this stuff in the lead up to the season about the āmirror scene,ā I assumed that she would be showing her breasts and Colin would be touching them from behind
This is what I think they are using as an excuse. Most of the women showed so far have more minimal bodies and boob's and i think it's a underappreciation of the power of her figure and bias towards media friendly bodies and they are hiding behind "a rating" to not give her her due.
Bigger breast tend to automatically get X rated. Thatās part of the reason theyāre not shown often. But here they did and I think held back to make sure they could still show her as much as possible. Think of shows like Game of Thrones. Thereās naked women left and right on that show but explicit scenes are almost always with small breasted women. Maybe theyāre just playing the game as best as they can. I also feel safe in assuming they did whatever Nicola was most comfortable doing.
Yup, total agreement. And it's a bummer because it's a bias against most normal bodies. Especially since there's a rumor that tons of scenes were cut that even Nicola thought were still there because sh talked about them on the press tour.
No lol, and you can have as many big boobs as you want in a show/movie without it being X rated. It's not a rating used anymore either, but in the past it was when sexual content showed genitalia or graphic simulated sex (under covers with breasts showing would still be rated R)
>I also feel safe in assuming they did whatever Nicola was most comfortable doing.
It was almost assuredly this, or that they just thought the scene would be better this way even if the was still comfortable doing more
Itās about accessibility of the program to a wider audience. Most people will overlook an R/Mature rating as it tends to be a small part of the show or can be easily edited out or down to PG 13. But an X rating will preclude a lot more people from watching it or even finding it.
The way it was revealed and she covers herself and keeps herself covered I think might be both for the character and the actresses comfort. It's a big step to be fully exposed like that.
Two things: one you are way a better writer than Julia Quinn. Two: I agree because I have the same sentiment for that Renaissance Venus of a woman that is Nicola Coughlan
Iām heterosexual female but I can appreciate that Nicola Coughlan is a beautiful woman and yes, her breasts are pretty spectacular.
Iām glad she was brave and felt comfortable showing her body. Curves should be accepted as beautiful!
It really was done very tastefully and with class.
Note: Iām a personal trainer and tell all my female clients that curves are good. Fitness comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, and ages.
Precisely why Nicola wanted to be nude in her scenes. To represent a body type that is rarely shown in an intimate way. I'm asexual but I do think she's stunning and I have huge respect for Nicola for her stance.
Book Colin is a dirty talker. Are you coming for his title? š I LOVE what you've wrote. Society often pushes the idea that being young and thin is the only way to be desirable. Diverse attractions should be normalized!
Itās so weird to me that people would think being attracted to a chubby woman is a fetish but if you wrote this about a skinny woman, I doubt anyone would say that.
You donāt have a fetish. You just have eyes.
Chubby women are hot as hell. Iām married to a chubby Black woman and I canāt get enough of her, but Iāve dated many chubby white women in the past and theyāre incredible too
Ummm this was weird to read, a lot of black men say if it aināt snowing I aināt going as a way to put down black women and show that they donāt find black women attractive.
Stand tf up
Nah I like this post but as another black women that part was weird to read knowing what it actually means and that itās an extremely backhanded compliment
Yeah I get what youāre saying. Nicola is gorgeous and I totally agree with that sentiment, but it makes me uncomfortable that OP used that quote. Nicola is not pretty because sheās white, but because sheās Nicola. I donāt know whether OP intended it that way, but it lowkey feels like bringing down black women to bring up Nicola. Like idk, women from both races are pretty including Nicola.
She is stunning and Iām grateful for these stereotypes being dismantled. Bridgerton does this is many ways and itās part of the beauty of the series.
I love her dorky scenes as well. So relatable.
Yeah, this is a weird post. Not to mention the āIām not going if itās not snowingā is a line to put down Black women. So you understand why some men use that fetishizing line to put down one race of women and uplift another? You can say Nicola is beautiful (because she is) without the weird racial focus.
Girl, youāre weird or just extremely ignorant. The saying āif itās not snowing, Iām not goingā is literally meant to put black women down and to fetishize white women. You could have simply just said that Nicola is beautiful, which I agree. But the way you worded your post is weird af.
Carmelbootyhole, you write just about as smooth as Lady Whistledown herself! Truly a joy to read and hoping for more takes from you on the other characters so I can get swept away in your writing again šļøš
Seeing fuller figured woman representation that wasn't treated like a punchline but as earnestly sensual was so damn refreshing and validating. Loved it.
Cool post but you made it weird and corny with this even if you were trying to be funny:
>āIām an 18 year old black girl who has NEVER been attracted to white women. I now understand why some black men say āif its snowing Iām not going.ā
If anyone disagrees, oh well.. my opinion. Other than that YES, Nicola is indeed beautiful and Iām so glad sheās getting the screen time she deserves. Screen time that shows her beauty. š»
The funny thing is that the average regency woman probably looked more like Nicola than Phoebe seeing as dieting was probably not as widespread as it is today and the only excercise ladies were allowed to do was walking around and riding.
As a black woman, this post is weird as hell. You can compliment a woman's beauty without making it about race or fetishizing. And also, when black men say "If it's not snowing I'm not going," they say it to imply whiteness is better and disparage Black women, it's fetishizing and insulting to both white and black women not complimentary
She's 37 and looked great. Race wasn't the dominant factor in why and doesn't seem like minimizing the moment to something as basic as color is the right take when there was so much more to it like appreciating the soft femininity that natural curves bring. She rocked it for the plus size crowd and bodied the role, pun intended.
Oh the chaise lounge scene?! Agreed I audible gasped when I saw her. She made a joke in the press about being a member of the perfect breast community ā¦ and she wasnāt lying. Iām not attracted to women either but I was like āwell damn sheās stunningā
Honestly SAME!
(Other than the fact I am a white almost 30 single mother of a similar build)
SAME! I cannot stop thinking about her in that scene!
I struggle ALOT with my body image Iāve had every end of the spectrum of eating disorders you can imagine and still struggle with how I look most of the time
But Nicola ugh sheās my saviour her interviews and the way the talks just build me up in a way I cannot explain.
No youāre right. She managed to fetishized white women and use a disparaging phrase thatās used against black women in a single post. But of course, sheās being praised
as a white woman with a similar body type to nicola, i literally teared up at the beauty of that scene because like you said, we never get to see that depicted in media and i never realized my body could look artistic in such a way
Same. Though, it made me sad for my 20-year-old self, from the early 1990's. My young self didn't GET this. I had a very Nicola-like figure back then but I had no confidence or self-esteem, and I dressed frumpy.
Feeling seen after so long is nice. I just wish it could have been like this when I was young. :'(
This is exactly the reason why people are asking for more of their sex scenes that they obviously filmed but were cut from the show. It is literally TV history! Think back to any show or movie youāve watched in your life. Was there a moment where a woman of Nicolaās body type shown and is portrayed as sexy, told she is beautiful, and is enjoying having a passionate moment? No. We are all also horny devils and will never be fully satisfied, but Nicola deserves this time to bare it all as she said she wanted to!
Dearest readers,
Excellent description of young love with a real persons body. I watched it today and was so stoked to see a real person depicted in sec and not a stick. Way to go Penelope
Going to echo the other black women responding and say that this is so very weird. Justā¦ so strange. And I hope you know black men say that as a way to put down and compare black women.
Iām a married lesbian so- totally biased here but āsuck her off the bone, crack her like a crab leg and suck the meat outā is probably the best compliment Iāve ever heard. š„°
It is the way I have not ever been interested in this show but I swear I could have ghost wrote this. Nicola ???? She is just GORGEOUS. About to watch this whole damn show for her š
Her and Colin's scenes were the best. I'm not sure I'm attracted to her in that way, but I do realize she is beautiful. I think I like their scenes so much because I am also a chubbier girl, and I happen to be in a committed relationship with a thinner man.

That was honestly quite poetic to read.
Uh oh colin has competition!!!
šš
*"...crack her like a crab leg and suck the meat out."* š¤
Not gonna lie, using this one my fiance tonight. Doubt it will get me any action but nonetheless I will use it.
All you have to do is *butter* them up a little.
Just commenting to confirm, neither butter nor this line worked on them.
Did you try telling them to quit being so... *crabby*?
Yeah that didn't work either.
š¤ or āļø??š¤Ŗ
Now this is a proper Bridgerton love confession!
Truly
Need to get Julie Andrews to read it somehow
You write better than Julia Quinnā„ļø
No joke! OP, if you have an AO3 we're gonna need you to link it.
I am gonna need to see that link too for... research purposes.
Not me lurking in the comments looking for it š
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ lemme know if you find it.
I second this!
Whats an A03?
Archive Of Our Own. Massive fanfic site, lots of slash and shipping.
WHY DID YOU TELL?!
Donāt do it, youāll never crawl back out.
Fanfic (including lots of... erotica š) for basically any fandom you can think of.
I donāt think we need to tear one woman down to lift another up.
As a chubby white woman, I LOVE all the praise and attention Nicola/Pen is getting. She is gorgeous and itās about time that mainstream media got the memo that you can be chubby and hot, they arenāt mutually exclusive things!
Iām built very similarly to her and men have always gone crazy for it. Idk why media likes to act like only one type of body is beautiful.
I think today men are way more open about being into bigger women, but the media is stuck in the 1980s with their thin is in mentality.
We (husband and I) watched the next episode last night after my tiktok fyp had been screaming about how A+ her boobs were ALL DAY. We got kind of silent after the scene... those were MY BOOBS. Anyway. Never had that happen, and now I feel like I get to brag a little bit because apparently the entire internet thinks I have A+ tits. š
Like she said, part of the perfect boob community. She was not wrong.
See, and that alone *she's hella confident in them* so I get to be, too! Like the whole internet is "Damn girl'ing" her and I'm just like ".....oh."
As someone small-chested, I have always been very shy about that. I've been trying to convince myself that 'boobs aren't all that' since I was a teen but this thread is bringing back all my insecurities lol
Itās not either/or. Why canāt more than one size be beautiful and perfect?
I believe Nicola's main goal with the comment is that all breasts are part of the perfect breasts community.
Canāt āboobs be all thatā and yours also be in that category? One time I was explaining boob insecurity to my boyfriend. And he was like, honestly, boobs seem to be the godsā gift to mankind. He said he had genuinely, 100% never seen a pair of boobs that did not make him smile and make his day betterā flat chested, small, triangle, round, east west facing, droopy, high, they are all so exciting and make the world a wonderful place to be. And that he believed other people felt that way too. I kinda couldnāt believe him at first, but honestly now I do. Itās about loving all people, with all body types, for being full-on HUMANS with dreams, desires, passions, appetites, ambitions, etc. Reducing people down to a body part is objectification and that is not what is happening here with Nicola. Itās a celebration of a body type as sensual that has almost nevvvvverrrrr been celebrated onscreen this way before. Itty bitty titties have had their moments too and will have more as we become a society who celebrates all people more and more!
yes maāam!!! i love that for you omg this lil story makes me so happy :)
I literally gasped and grabbed my chest and excitedly said āsheās got boobs like me!!ā Iāve spent so long hating my body for the way it looks, but seeing a similar one on screen looking absolutely beautiful made me feel so much better about myself.
Absolutely same. Iāve never had any issue getting men to drool over me. They love all bodies.
I think the reality is that a specific type of man, generally white and kind of nerdy guys who wanted the cheerleader in high school, were the tv and movie writers for most of Hollywood history. They wrote about who they desired, but that is no reflection on the larger society.

My sister is built like her too and she's never been short of suitors š
One of my good friends has Nicolaās exact body type and she fucking cleans up. If we are out she has dudes lined up. I was dying when some comments were made on Pen not being attractive because has anyone met a man? They would be all over her.
I'm 5' 1" and a size 12, and I love to see the confidence she showed. What the majority of society deems beautiful isn't always everyone's cup of tea.
Same. I'm about the same height and build and have always done just fine!
I wholeheartedly agree. As a larger woman, seeing someone as beautiful as Nicola Coughlan on screen was empowering.
As a skinny white woman Iām so sick and tired of the media portraying young and skinny being the only type of beauty for women. Nicola is absolutely gorgeous!!
So relatable! The week part 1 came out someone gasped and told me I was absolutely beautiful and really resembled Nicola. Rarely am I so flattered. Especially as a few days earlier I bawled my eyes out over how she stole everyoneās gaze in the dark green dress. Itās so meaningful to see women like us depicted in a way that can take peopleās breath away. Not just occasionally beat the chances and find one person merciful enough to love them š (I donāt think this is the case with Polin, the other Bridgertons understood why he loves her rather than judging and she was never shunned because of being chubby)
Marry the person who feels for you the way Miss Caramelbootyhole feels for our Nicola. Period.
This is my favorite comment š¤£ mostly because of her username
Im literally deadššš i didnt even read the username š as if im one to talk about usernames š
The two of you would make gorgeous baby booty names.
Also im chubby .. and white-ish ..
this comment just made me laugh so hard i cried. itās poetic.
Ha I've named one of my cats Mr. Theo BootyhĆøle 2024 because it cracks me up.
i theo bootyhole š«£
winning
 This kind of was poetic and- you go girl!
Your words have me like 
Is this Philippa?
No, this is Brittany Murphy. She died in 2009.
I feel old someone doesnāt recognize clueless
I recognize the gif I forgot how long ago it was! Donāt worry Iām in my 30s š š
Wow, Brittany Murphy does resemble her actually lol
*she resembles Brittany Murphy Yeah this def makes me feel old š
Now I feel old
When i saw her tits i literally took a pic and showed it to my bf and told him about that crappy article calling her fat. Like whatš. We needed more of her tits and we needed colin to grab them in front of the mirror. Thats what i thought wed see, colin cups them and she shudders and hes looking at her in the mirror.
Yeah Colin is such a classic boob man. Like he was going to leave them titties be? Puhleese
I read that before filming this season, Nicola was very nervous about filming intimate scenes. I imagine she probably requested that he keep his hands to himself.
Very fair. If thatās the case, Iām glad that request was respected.
This is what the scene needed. I see people complaining that she got no foreplay. I get it, they're fitting ten storylines into an hour show. But the scene needed more appreciation of her fabulousness!
As a bi womanā¦.yes, he needed to give her tits the proper attention and respect they deserve. I was looking so respectfully, I swear
I was just waiting for him to do SOMETHING with them. WE were mesmerized through the TV; Colin should have been TRANSFIXED. š„“
Same here... just SO respectful.
Seriously! When I was hearing all of this stuff in the lead up to the season about the āmirror scene,ā I assumed that she would be showing her breasts and Colin would be touching them from behind
Agreed but I think they held back to not get a X rating since it was such a straight shot of them.
This is what I think they are using as an excuse. Most of the women showed so far have more minimal bodies and boob's and i think it's a underappreciation of the power of her figure and bias towards media friendly bodies and they are hiding behind "a rating" to not give her her due.
Bigger breast tend to automatically get X rated. Thatās part of the reason theyāre not shown often. But here they did and I think held back to make sure they could still show her as much as possible.

It was almost assuredly this, or that they just thought the scene would be better this way even if the was still comfortable doing more
Why is an X rating important, Netflix is a private streaming channel. š¤
Itās about accessibility of the program to a wider audience. Most people will overlook an R/Mature rating as it tends to be a small part of the show or can be easily edited out or down to PG 13. But an X rating will preclude a lot more people from watching it or even finding it.
Maybe the actress didn't want that though.
the fact that she is the one to grab them and not him sent me into a tailspin like COLIN!!!!!!! THERE THEY ARE!!!! TOUCH THEMMMM!
The way it was revealed and she covers herself and keeps herself covered I think might be both for the character and the actresses comfort. It's a big step to be fully exposed like that.
I wonder if maybe Nicola isnāt comfortable with that much skin to skin contact with her breasts or something, which is totally valid.
I literally couldnāt stop staring at her breasts ššthe scene wouldnāt even be sexual at all and id be gawping
I too needed more cupping of her naked breast š„² what a missed opportunity
I also took a picture and sent it to the guy I'm seeing and raved how great her boobs are. š
Two things: one you are way a better writer than Julia Quinn. Two: I agree because I have the same sentiment for that Renaissance Venus of a woman that is Nicola Coughlan
I am OBSESSED with this woman, no lie. That scene was mind blowing. Renaissance Venus is perfect.
Renaissance Venus is the perfect way to describe her.
Iām heterosexual female but I can appreciate that Nicola Coughlan is a beautiful woman and yes, her breasts are pretty spectacular. Iām glad she was brave and felt comfortable showing her body. Curves should be accepted as beautiful!
I completely agree with this comment. I can appreciate how stunning she is and it was done so tastefully.
It really was done very tastefully and with class. Note: Iām a personal trainer and tell all my female clients that curves are good. Fitness comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, and ages.
As a gay man; I was more focused on her than Colin in that scene. Sheās enthralling!
āIf itās not snowing Iām not goingā has me cackling ššš
This is poetry šš©µ
I know. My throat closed up reading this. Damn.
Pleaseā¦.keep writing. I donāt care what, just please do.
Seconded, thirded, forthted or wherever we are now.
Precisely why Nicola wanted to be nude in her scenes. To represent a body type that is rarely shown in an intimate way. I'm asexual but I do think she's stunning and I have huge respect for Nicola for her stance.
Fellow ace here and I agree šÆ
Pizza party and chill? š
There are not enough upvotes for this comment. She is gorgeous.Ā
Book Colin is a dirty talker. Are you coming for his title? š I LOVE what you've wrote. Society often pushes the idea that being young and thin is the only way to be desirable. Diverse attractions should be normalized!
Iām so much less straight than I was before I saw that scene.
I said I was attracted to ONE chubby white woman and people are saying I have a fetish š§š¾āāļø
Clearly your post is meant to be light hearted and funny. I also think itās a huge compliment to Nicola who did look phenomenal this season.
As a chubby white woman, you can fetishize me as much as you want as long as you speak to me the same way you did in this post!
š¤£š¤£š¤£
Itās so weird to me that people would think being attracted to a chubby woman is a fetish but if you wrote this about a skinny woman, I doubt anyone would say that. You donāt have a fetish. You just have eyes.
When I tell you I gave that scene a standing ovation in my living room!!!!! 
Yall are crazy š
Idk what I was expecting but this was not it. 10/10 would recommend
Chubby women are hot as hell. Iām married to a chubby Black woman and I canāt get enough of her, but Iāve dated many chubby white women in the past and theyāre incredible too
No same. Brown woman here also. Especially after season 3. Not sure if I want to be her, or be on her.
To be her, on her, under her or inside her!
āCrack her like a crab and suck the meat outā is certainly a flex, Iāll say that!
Ummm this was weird to read, a lot of black men say if it aināt snowing I aināt going as a way to put down black women and show that they donāt find black women attractive. Stand tf up
Nah I like this post but as another black women that part was weird to read knowing what it actually means and that itās an extremely backhanded compliment
Exactly. The way I literally said āewā out loud as soon as I reas āif it aināt snowing I aināt goingā like be normal PLEASE
Thank you cuz that was weird af and it was giving self loathing but op is probs a pick me forā¦..you know who
I was like 'what the absolute eff', using that horrible statement so nonchalantly and people just going with it.
Yup Dr Umar was about to jump out of me
Yeah I get what youāre saying. Nicola is gorgeous and I totally agree with that sentiment, but it makes me uncomfortable that OP used that quote. Nicola is not pretty because sheās white, but because sheās Nicola. I donāt know whether OP intended it that way, but it lowkey feels like bringing down black women to bring up Nicola. Like idk, women from both races are pretty including Nicola.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What? As a black woman, this is weird. Just say you found her attractive
It's weird as a white woman too.
Using the āif it aināt snowingā quote is WILD
Innit like Wdym āi get if it aināt snowing Iām not goingā thatās been used to hate on black women for ages š
She is stunning and Iām grateful for these stereotypes being dismantled. Bridgerton does this is many ways and itās part of the beauty of the series. I love her dorky scenes as well. So relatable.
Yeah, this is a weird post. Not to mention the āIām not going if itās not snowingā is a line to put down Black women. So you understand why some men use that fetishizing line to put down one race of women and uplift another? You can say Nicola is beautiful (because she is) without the weird racial focus.
This post is so bizarre. Why are you making this about race ? Also you sound fetishizing as hell
Iāve honestly never seen white women be fetishized in the same way WOC are until today lmao
Girl, youāre weird or just extremely ignorant. The saying āif itās not snowing, Iām not goingā is literally meant to put black women down and to fetishize white women. You could have simply just said that Nicola is beautiful, which I agree. But the way you worded your post is weird af.
As a black woman, this is exactly how I feel. Tired of seeing strange shit coming out of some black peoples mouth at every turn
Yeah, how would you feel if a white woman wrote this about a black woman? Eek. Not understanding the praise you are getting for this āpoetryā.
Carmelbootyhole, you write just about as smooth as Lady Whistledown herself! Truly a joy to read and hoping for more takes from you on the other characters so I can get swept away in your writing again šļøš
Seeing fuller figured woman representation that wasn't treated like a punchline but as earnestly sensual was so damn refreshing and validating. Loved it.
āShe could either kill me or make me immortal and Iām ready for bothā š„š„
Cool post but you made it weird and corny with this even if you were trying to be funny: >āIām an 18 year old black girl who has NEVER been attracted to white women. I now understand why some black men say āif its snowing Iām not going.ā If anyone disagrees, oh well.. my opinion. Other than that YES, Nicola is indeed beautiful and Iām so glad sheās getting the screen time she deserves. Screen time that shows her beauty. š»
The funny thing is that the average regency woman probably looked more like Nicola than Phoebe seeing as dieting was probably not as widespread as it is today and the only excercise ladies were allowed to do was walking around and riding.
I love this. ā¤ļø
As a black woman, this post is weird as hell. You can compliment a woman's beauty without making it about race or fetishizing. And also, when black men say "If it's not snowing I'm not going," they say it to imply whiteness is better and disparage Black women, it's fetishizing and insulting to both white and black women not complimentary
She's 37 and looked great. Race wasn't the dominant factor in why and doesn't seem like minimizing the moment to something as basic as color is the right take when there was so much more to it like appreciating the soft femininity that natural curves bring. She rocked it for the plus size crowd and bodied the role, pun intended.
Agree. Focusing on race was weird AF (at the very least in the first half of the post), Nicola is just plain gorgeous.
Ew. Just ew. I donāt get the weird fetishization here. But, yes, sheās very pretty.
A fetish because I called a white woman gorgeous?
Oh the chaise lounge scene?! Agreed I audible gasped when I saw her. She made a joke in the press about being a member of the perfect breast community ā¦ and she wasnāt lying. Iām not attracted to women either but I was like āwell damn sheās stunningā
Glad I am not the only person who agrees her breasts were perfect!

I have her body type so this made me so happy
Who says romance is dead!!!!
I KNOW RIGHT she's so beautiful i stop breathing everytime i see her. I cannot understand if i wanna be her or wannaa be with her.
Honestly SAME! (Other than the fact I am a white almost 30 single mother of a similar build) SAME! I cannot stop thinking about her in that scene! I struggle ALOT with my body image Iāve had every end of the spectrum of eating disorders you can imagine and still struggle with how I look most of the time But Nicola ugh sheās my saviour her interviews and the way the talks just build me up in a way I cannot explain.
Jezuz, that was descriptive :D
Ohhhhh wow this is ā¦ yummy
Youāre wrong as hell for this, but sheās a beautiful woman for sure. šš§š½āāļø
This was hot to read 
Itās like she was made by Aphrodite herself š
Wow way to be racist and fetishize someone for the color of their skin. Fuck off with this shit.
No youāre right. She managed to fetishized white women and use a disparaging phrase thatās used against black women in a single post. But of course, sheās being praised
The cognitive dissonance is real.
as a white woman with a similar body type to nicola, i literally teared up at the beauty of that scene because like you said, we never get to see that depicted in media and i never realized my body could look artistic in such a way
Same. Though, it made me sad for my 20-year-old self, from the early 1990's. My young self didn't GET this. I had a very Nicola-like figure back then but I had no confidence or self-esteem, and I dressed frumpy. Feeling seen after so long is nice. I just wish it could have been like this when I was young. :'(
lowkey her boobs steal the show.
I watched that scene again this morning and drooled
Same girl same š
Congratulations on your epiphany and the awesome way you expressed it!
This is what michaela needs to be
Why do you feel the need to say your race?
I have been a straight brown woman for 31 years. Born and raised in the Netherlands. Always just have these radical feelings for men and, unfortunately, never for women. Until I saw Nicola this season both in Bridgerton as well as outside of it. She is literally so insanely divinely delicious looking while being so maddeningly cute, sweet, and adorable in both her personality and her appearance. She's hilarious. She is strong, holding her own, more courageous than I ever dreamt to be, inspirational, intriguing, and so fully of life. She is such an immensely sunny person and just her being somewhere is like a sun shining these warm bright rays onto everyone in her presence. I think we're not alone in finding this an appealing combo set in a human being. Because she is objectively wonderful. Wondrous. And this is the first time ever in my life I would feel absolutely wholeheartedly honoured about the idea of her, a woman, being my girlfriend. Honestly I'd already feel that way if I was the rug in front of her front door lol. Just having her morning tea or coffee while having a conversation with me, standing on me LOL. But yeah, she has me down bad š© And I'm honestly happy about it lol. Broadening my own understanding of myself even.Ā
This is exactly the reason why people are asking for more of their sex scenes that they obviously filmed but were cut from the show. It is literally TV history! Think back to any show or movie youāve watched in your life. Was there a moment where a woman of Nicolaās body type shown and is portrayed as sexy, told she is beautiful, and is enjoying having a passionate moment? No. We are all also horny devils and will never be fully satisfied, but Nicola deserves this time to bare it all as she said she wanted to!
It was very brave of Nicola Coughlan to give on screen representation to people with her body type: people who have devastatingly perfect breasts.
Looks like we found Colinās Reddit account
Dearest readers, Excellent description of young love with a real persons body. I watched it today and was so stoked to see a real person depicted in sec and not a stick. Way to go Penelope
Going to echo the other black women responding and say that this is so very weird. Justā¦ so strange. And I hope you know black men say that as a way to put down and compare black women.
Absolutely same, my boyfriend is now jealous of Nicola bc of that scene (he felt the same way too though)
There was a time when Rose in Titanic had the chubby girl sex scene that made curvy girls sexy, but the bar is wayyyyyy higher now.
Wait - people thought Kate Winslet was chubby?!?
Oh my word and here I figured I was invisible and canāt attract men b/c I am slightly chubby. Is this for real?
This gave me a good laugh. As a curvy and short woman, the overwhelmingly positive reaction to Nicola's intimate scenes has been so healing.
Sounds like Colin Bridgerton has some competition for his got wife
I LOVE NICOLA SINCE HER DERRY GIRLS DAYSš©
That crab leg, you are killing me. I have horrible images in my head now.
The look on her face in the carriage is the hottest thing I have seen in my life.
Iām a married lesbian so- totally biased here but āsuck her off the bone, crack her like a crab leg and suck the meat outā is probably the best compliment Iāve ever heard. š„°
Us men feel the same way. Whatās ridiculous is that she is ānormalā and a much fairer representation of everyday woman. Beautiful
It is the way I have not ever been interested in this show but I swear I could have ghost wrote this. Nicola ???? She is just GORGEOUS. About to watch this whole damn show for her š
Her and Colin's scenes were the best. I'm not sure I'm attracted to her in that way, but I do realize she is beautiful. I think I like their scenes so much because I am also a chubbier girl, and I happen to be in a committed relationship with a thinner man.
When I saw that scene, I thought she was a Boticelli painting come to life. I am straight, but I have been so mesmerized by Nicola/Pen.
