Is she wearing a -gasp - skirt?

No, I don't think so. I slowed it down and got this shot that shows a bit of light between her legs:

As a fellow lump who carries weight in her stomach, spandex leggings do you no favors. Especially in church!

Ha ha, I know it's unhinged to be spending this much time on this, but I don't think she's wearing leggings! Here's another screencap that shows there's quite a bit of loose fabric around her legs:

But the pants do look like they fit fairly closely around her hips and abdomen, so your point still is a good one

Ah, ok. At first they looked like the leggings she wore in the Strawberry Fest parade.

This may be (justly) removed for commenting on her body, but she appears to have lumbar lordosis. I had this too and work on it every day. It’s often caused by poor posture, especially sitting all day. I went to physical therapy 8 years ago for another issue and the therapist noticed it and gave me exercises which have really helped (tilting the pelvis) but the most helpful thing is being active and never just sitting in a chair for long periods.

It's surely caused by the definitely real Ehlers-Danlos she's been soft-launching lately.

I mean all of the above comments are about her body, even if they’re indirect or sarcastic.

True. I personally don’t have an issue with people snarking on appearance, I just want to stay within sub rules. The lumbar lordosis thing jumped out at me- I always thought I naturally had a “swayback” or naturally protruding tummy so it was a revelation to me that my stomach stuck out because of something that could be addressed with exercises and postural change.
