Is Christina Hendricks too fat? I don’t know. Does Baskin Robbins have too many flavors? Is Rudolph’s nose too shiny? Was Mother Theresa selfless? Are the fellas from the National Organization of Women too shrill and judgmental?

Well okay, the answer to that last one is “yes”, but any guy with a functional “Y” chromosome and an IQ higher than of the average Sponge Bob character would answer a resounding “NO” regarding the lovely Ms. Hendricks and the state of her figure. Ever since she appeared on the hit AMC show “Mad Men”, Christina has done for the male population as a whole what Viagra is supposed to do for men in the throes of a raging midlife crisis. Of course her curvaceous figure is a break from what has become the accepted norm, and that means that the media is going to push back against this curvy anomaly.

Last January Christina Hendricks showed up that the Golden Globe Awards in a ruffled dress from designer Christian Siriano. New York Times fashion blogger, Cathy Horyn, quoted a stylist who said regarding Christina that “You don’t put a big girl in a big dress. That’s rule number one.” By now most of us know that the terms like “Husky”, “Rubenesque”, and “Big Girl” are just code words for “fat ass”.

It’s a good thing there’s a fence around that!!!

On the Firefly DVD set, they talk about casting. When she auditioned, they thought she was too skinny and asked her to put on weight for the part. I agree, she looked good on the show.

"But she was naked and all... articulate!"

I could do without the ‘hooters,’ but what a doll!

Based on her published height of 5’7 1/2” and measurements of 38-32-38 I calculated her body fat at 28.5%. Her BMI would be 26.2. That’s slightly elevated with a body fat percentage at the upper limit of acceptable for a woman.

[editor-surveyor]

In that picture, you can see that actually she is quite thin.

[editor-surveyor]

She has barely enough ‘tummy’ to be heallthy!

(I hope you were kidding)

That 32” waist is hard to believe. But publicists never lie.

[CholeraJoe]

If they were going to lie and report a 32” waist on a woman, it must really be larger. Ya think?

Go HIT THIS!

You could play tetherball with that. If you hit it, it would come around and smack you in the back of your head!

It looks awfully photoshopped to me, as are most such publicity photos.

Well I wouldn't, I'm just saying it's possible.

She has barely enough ‘tummy’ to be healthy!

Other than the one I have posted, I have yet to see a photo of her that wasn’t posed or modified (or both) to minimize the apparent size of her belly.

I'm sure you could devise some sort of workout program that would benefit the poor lass.

Stop it with that stimulating, titillating erotic talk.

[dangerdoc]

Yeah but 5% of her body weight is in her bodice.

[CholeraJoe]

And then some...

They sunburn easily

I'll do my best to supply the shade.

They sunburn easily

True, but it sure is fun to apply the aloe... ;)
