For all you that are complaining about your looks...

[Uabassoon]

LOL! True. See, Tonya's like, on 8 feet tall. So when she says she weighs 170, it translates into 120 at my height!

LOL I know, I was thinking about that too. I was like why does she look so much thinner than me, then I realized she's a whole foot taller than me

I have seen that or some of that before, but it is always really nice to see it again. So many women, including myself, have insecurities about their looks or things they wish they could change, and sadly that is promoted from a very young age by Hollywood and toys like Barbie. It couldn't have hurt to make Barbie have realistic proportions

How the hell are you gonna mold stretch marks on her?

Ken loses his washboard abs, some hair and
what good will Viagra do him??


Lololol


I think Walt Disney was one of the most vile, disgusting men on the planet.....


Why?

He has led MILLIONS of women that Prince Charmin (Yep, the toilet paper prince) will show up on a white horse, kiss her and they live happily ever after...

What happened to dating?

It sounds more like one of those deals where you find a wife on the Internet...

Wanted - Prince Charming.

I am a Domestic Engineer who is currently sharing a home with 7 horizontally challenged men who may be on the verge of contracting Black Lung Disease.

I am in the Witness Protection program due to an
murder scheme which I escaped by making a deal with the contract killer. Unable to return to my hometown due to evil witch who wants me dead.

While I do fear for my life at the moment I really need to be taken away from my current situation....willing to relocate and marriage is no problem-NO questions asked..


Married men with drama need not apply- no smokers or drinkers.

I don't know, I grew up playing with Barbie. I watch tv and movies and I read magazines.
And I still manage to know the difference between a real person and a toy. I understand that movie stars and models get paid to look that way and it is their job. My job is to sit at a desk and design brochures. If my job was to be stick thin, then that is what I'd do. I may be cold, but I have absolutely no sympathy for a grown woman who gets sad looking at a magazine model. It's just plain silliness. That kind of problem is a product of poor self esteen, not a product of the magazine or the model.

Instead, I'm a real person who eats what she likes within reason, works out regularly and runs 30 miles per week for her health. Keeping thin and healthy is important to me because of me, not because of a doll or a model.

Sizes have changed. By today's standards, Marilyn would've been a 4.

So true.....


Who is the gal who was dating Jack Nicholson....

She does the lawyer series and also made Men In Black II.....I saw a picture of her on a magazine.


That chick has a serious eating problem...

I shudder to think that she thinks she looks good by being that skinny.......

Magazine publishers only put out magazines with skinny models on the front *because we buy them*. The celebrity diet covers are the ones that sell the most copies. If publishers are exploiting our poor self esteems, it's no one's fault but our own, unfortunately.

PS I have a car that fits me, two stinky sausage dogs and just fits Shane and my purse I think if I drove an SUV, I'd sideswipe every panel before even leaving the car park!!!

Ewww. Laura Flynn Boyle. She is gross looking.

Remember when she wore this to the awards ceremony?

Hey, I wore a Tu-Tu like that when I was 10 yrs old in ballet......mind you I actually looked cute

My idols: Jann Arden, Momma Cass (RIP) and all the other "large" artists out there. Along with their outstanding talent, they have (had) the confidence to follow their dreams in spite of their size. God I wish I could be like that.

Slick, while I applaud you for not being sizist, I think it is just as unhealthy you list these people as "Idols."

Let's be honest. Mama Cass died of obesity related heart disease (not the reported ham sandwich choke.) She was 5'5" and 238 pounds- twice the normal weight for a woman her height. Obesity is just as unhealthy as anorexia.

I disagree with the idea that we should look up to people who are overweight just because they are overweight. Like her for her music if you want, but her body type is nothing to idolize. It is just as deadly, if not moreso, than Laura Flynn Boyle's weight.

Obesity is an epidemic in the United States because we are becoming a lazy fast food society. This kind of body is not the norm worldwide and it is a MAJOR killer of Americans every year. So no, I don't think we should idolize anyone because they have a deadly eating disorder.

[slick]

I don't look up to these people just because they are overweight. I do love their music, but more than that, they did not let their weight get in the way of doing what they wanted to do. Confidence, that's what I admire in them.

[Tonya]

I look up to people in Hollywood who don't have to get liposuction, breast implants, botox, collagen, etc... I find a woman in Hollywood much more beautiful when they have a few flaws. It shows that they are confident and woman enough to love themselves just how they are.

I understand now. That makes perfect sense. I'm sorry I misunderstood your post.

But I'd probably admire them more if they tried to do something to make themselves healthy role models along with making great music.

When Ruben Studdard won American Idol, there was actually a gal on our radio here saying she was glad the overweight guy won because he is the idol of real Americans- and she was clear it was because of his size. That is not the example we need to set for young people.

You look at tv peole like Jennifer Garner- the gal on Alias. That girl works so hard for what she's got. She's a healthy, lovely size, very very strong, and she eats like crazy. If I had to choose one- she's the one I'd pick to idolize.
