To make up for it she needs to spread the love to an ugly person.

Me first.

“..her career successes have helped to promote a ‘skinny equals beautiful’ female image - which she said, she feels guilty about.”

As far as I’m concerned, skinny DOES equal beautiful. I prefer thinner women like Cameron Russell to heavier women. A lot of people agree with me, but others don’t and that’s cool, too.

That’s my take on it. The thing I like about Victoria’s Secret models is that they are not overly skinny. Usually, they have the perfect female form. No woman should feel bad about not achieving that sort of body. Healthy people should intuitively know this. So, her guilty feelings are not valid IMHO.

That is not attractive, and I can’t understand why anyone would think it would be.

metal or mental? silver & gold or intractable narcissism?

When I find the picture, I will post the new underwear VS is promoting to the tweens/teens - that’s enough for me to boycott, but wait I already do boycott that company.

Why sad? I’m 108 lbs, size 5, still nice looking for an old broad-and even though I’m amenable to being asked out and work with guys, they always opt for the women dressed in frills, with boobs and some junk in the trunk-I’ve always been envious...

Liberalism is caused by drinking water with lead in it. My commentary was not about the underwear, in fact, the VS issue is irrelevant to our discussion to the extent that the woman is claiming to feel guilty because too many people stuff their mouths and cannot wear a size 1.

Oddly here in SOuthern California I get more male attention when I look like this gal rather than the first post of the VS model and in fact the VS model as pictured above would be considered on the 'chubby side' in the area I live in. What can I say.

Many men in Southern Cal. seem to have a penchant for the 'young girl look.' That is pretty sick when you think about it. However most marry the curvy brunettes. So they want to live with real and have brief sex with anorexia child I guess. That is my takeaway right or wrong.

That's it. Too each his /her own.

It did shock me the other day though. Women like Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren from fifty years ago look alomst 'chunky' by todays standards.

Well, a few force fed cheeseburgers may be in order.
