@Hamsterpants: And it's red. You know what that means.

@dripdrop: It's just a very general, wishy-washy, nonpartisan issue. No matter your politics, you can agree that fat kids are bad!

@baseballchica03: It looks okay to me. She's got her hips at an odd angle, she's squished against a wall, and the black bikini bottom is creating a bit of a optical illusion with the shadow. It's not at all unreasonable that her hip bone, given those things plus her general thinness, would look like that.

You know, phrenology assumes a brain.

Kim's story makes me want to scrape my eyes out with shards of martini glasses and pour expensive liquor into the bloody sockets.

@ricardvs: Yeah. The article could really have done without the discussion of elegance and Grace Kelly and the stylish self-presentation of the Natashas. I don't disagree with the basic point at all - although I think there are many successful, not-villianized women in TV and film (they are all over police
