Is Hollywood really trying to get healthy or are the big girls just playing into this whole “thin is better” vibe?
We are so quick to attack women like Jennifer Love Hewitt for being curvy, yet in that same breath we say someone like Jennifer Hudson is super sexy curvy.
The last time I checked Hudson was much larger then Hewitt so what’s the difference? Why can we accept one but not the other?
Hollywood has gone on this new “health” kick and it’s beginning to drive me a little batty.
Don’t get me wrong I am all for getting healthy, BUT healthy does not always mean thin!
Take women like Ricki Lake and Star Jones for instance, Both women lost a tremendous amount of weight by two different methods, But they didn’t stop at just being “healthy” they took it to the extreme and became under weight.
Ricki Lake has recently been reported saying that she went from 300 pounds to being 125 pounds.
Now if you have read any of my other posts you will know that taller women need to weight more then shorter women. Ricki Lake is 5′4′ and by all “healthy” standers she should weigh in at no less then 135 pounds. Which makes her under weight.
Star Jones is another perfect example of someone who took it to the extreme and went from being morbidly obese to looking like a little staving child in Africa.
I love hearing women who stand up for their curves and love themselves for who they are, But it saddens me when those same women are then talking about the new diet they are on.
Last year Jennifer Hudson was all about how hot and curvy she was, and she showed no shame for being a large women.
Come Oscar time she was reported talking about what her new diet secrets she had. Is that someone who is REALLY happy with who they are?
Yesterday I had to listen to Queen Latifa talk about her new diet plans which was odd for me to hear as she was one of those women who always promoted “curves”
Is she too now jumping on the “thin is better” bandwagon??
But on a much happier note Nikki Blonsky from the movie hairspray has said in a number of interviews that she is NOT willing to lose weight for anyone, specially not a movie role.
You go girl!
See sometimes curves and us fat girls really are not that bad, and we have much to offer and we do not need to get on the “thin is better” bandwagon.

For those of you who do not know who Kristen is, I will in-lighten you by telling you watch for the cool chubby chick on Criminal Minds and you will know why I am about to honor her with a blog posting.
She frigging rocks in every sense of that word!
She’s an actress, comedian, author and one heck of a wicked dresser!!
She gives Criminal Minds the light hearted undertone it needs since the show is so serious and at time disturbing, her comic relief is what makes the show.
I had actually never heard of Kristen before Criminal Minds but I am glad that I have had the opportunity to see her at work as I have come to greatly admire her as a women.
To check out more on Kristen and her career stop by the IMDB and check out her profile.

She’s one cool women I swear she will not disappoint!

If fat women ruled the world there would be so much more peace, Lets face it fat women really know how to show the love.
There would be more love in this world then there would be violence, and it would end so much suffering.
Fat women see everyday as a gift, and bring love and laughter to everything we touch.
So really would it be so bad it fat women ruled the world? Nah!

I have really started to come to an understanding with the world’s modelling industry. To put it plan and simple you can be the most attractive person in the world but if your under 5foot 8 your screwed!
We always talk about how we should not discriminate against anyone due to physical appearance but this industry seems to get away with it year after year.
Why are there no short people modelling agents out there? why are shorter people not featured on runways and in magazines? There is no real answer you can give that would make me think any different. It’s discrimination plan and simple.
You can be a skinny as a rail and as hot as the Bahamas but if your 5′4′ to bad no one will hire you to model for them.
Even the plus size modelling puts a label on how you “need” to look a certain way to work for them.
They say it’s OK to be fat and a size 14, but you better darn well be 5′9′ or else your not worthy.
I had an experience once at a plus size store where I looked up and saw this beautiful women wearing a cropped top and low-rise jeans exposing her flat tummy.
I said to the lady; “Why is that hanging in here? That women is far from fat!” The lady began to tell me that it was because the model in the photo was a size 14 but she was also 5′10.
As I tried on the pair of jeans the lovely model had been wearing in the ad I noticed something, the legs went on forever! And I was going to have no choice but to hem them up if I decided to buy them.
Looking at the price tag I was none to impressed when I saw it bulging out at a whopping $95, Again I approached the sales lady and asked why these jeans would cost so much when I could head across the street and get a pair almost the same for half the price, Sure they may fit a little different but us women always believe we can stretch them out.
The sales lady proceeded to tell me it was because they use “more” material to create these jeans there for they needed to mark up the price to cover those costs.
My comment to her “Well why don’t we just cut the legs off where I am gonna have to hem these up because they were made for a women who is 5 foot 9 I will give you back that material and you can chop off $40 from the price?”
She found my comment amusing to say the least, but sadly I got no deal and found a pair on sale got them instead and went home to hem them up.
I think the modelling industry needs to realize that not everyone in this world can be nice and tall and that clothing should be made for everyone, and by that I mean I should never have to worry about getting that awesome pair of jeans and fear I am going to have to cut off the cool bottoms because I am too short to fit into them.
I really I am not all that short, I have friends who are shorter I am 5 foot 4 and almost every store I shop in for pants I have to adjust the legs to some degree or another.
There needs to be a modelling industry for people who are under 5 foot 7! Would you not agree my fellow shorties?

Men of the world please understand me when I say this….
Just because I am fat does not make me easy!!!!
Some guy had the balls to make a nasty ass comment about my tits today and thought he was paying me a complement!
To all you assholes out there who think you can prey on a larger women and believe that’s the way they should be treated should be sent an electric shock to your cock!
Get the f**k over yourselves and learn to treat every women with the same type of respect.
Just because I am fat does not mean I am easy or am willing to lower my standers and date low life’s who’s only form of conversation is about how lovely and large my boobs are.
I got better shit to do with my time then waste is on an ass fuck like you!
And when I let you know that your comment was offensive don’t get all pissy with me and threaten to never speak to me again, That my darling would be doing me a favor!
Like I really need the only attention I get being from purvey pigs. No thanks!
Large women of the world, stand up for yourselves and do NOT lets these bastards get away with treating you like your a piece of frigging meat hanging in the meat factory, You are far better then a worthless piece of dirt like that.
