Too Tubby for Tinsel Town
The Right Network ^ | 12-21-2010 | Brian Cherry

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”.

Sam: "Me too!"

Floyd: "Yes ah, 'That's' a female alright. Right Andy?"

Any: "Yup! That's definitely not a boy!"

Why would anyone ‘photoshop’ a woman’s legs to look thin and unattractive?

Only Hollyweird and the fashionistas would blame a woman for having hips!

I don’t understand your premise that there is an image of unattractively thin legs?

>> “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.” <<

For the politically correct anyway :o)

The only thing I can find wrong with Ms. Hendricks is her hubby, Geoffrey Arend (that lucky so-and-so)

Christina Hendricks is fat in all the right places!!!

I am a male who LIKES big boobs to a certain extent. My wife and I have two friends who have undergone breast reduction surgery. Another lady three doors down the street is considering the same surgery. All were / are 44+.

The lady down the street said that after her kids stopped nursing, the "big tits just get in the way" for everything from playing cards to making love. Our "little itty tittie committee" neighbor asked that her removed portion be given to her.

So that means that most heterosexual men like tree trunk legs?

Yes, that NYT blogger seems like a bit of a bitch, but in this article, I have to disagree with this:

Carmen Manheim is a “big girl”. Aretha Franklin is a “big girl”.

No. They are fat. And not just a little bit.

I also object to the misappropriation of "curvy" as a euphemism for chubby/chunky/fat, as well as the false "choice" that if a woman isn't a skinny stick, she's big and there's nothing in between.
