YES!!! I agree. it just seems more genuine because you have to commit to it, rather than just thinking it is appropriate because some Victoria's Scret model told you it was cool. Also, love, love, love, non-enhanced breasts. much more sexy in these photos than half of lingerie models now.

This was very much eighties hair. The transition from the smooth 70's styles into the big, teased, mid-eighties styles left a lot of room in the early 80's for hairstyles of all kinds in between. This is very Cheryll Ladd, Charlie's Angels.

Not sure. But my husband is from africa and he swears he will get me a band to hold in my belly after our baby is born. Not because he wants my body back for looks reasons (he is not like that at all), but because apparently in his culture women do that generally to help the body transition back to "normal". I take…

For the most part "yes," i am completely over it. It's everywhere, so it's not like it's shocking anymore. And most of the time it's not even alluring. But, every once in awhie there is a dress that is beautiful and the design is accentuated by the sheer panels. For me, this would have been that dress, had the…

I didn't even think about the "poking out" situation. You're probably right that this is exactly what happened. Even if she tried on the dress before she might have noticed teh side panelling, but not what was happening in the front..

ah - gotcha. you see "kink" as referring more to having a "type." I do get it in that sense. But, "kink" doesn't have that connotation to me. "Kink," to me, means something deviating from the norm - like BDSM. Something not mainstream. I have trouble saying that larger women are outside of the norm, because…

I don't like that it is being referred to as a "kink," as if it is "outside the normal realm." I realize you are probably getting that from an outside source, but it doesn't need to be perpetuated or repeated unless you agree or are quoting correctly. It just makes me sad.

I second the commenter who responded to with "why" as opposed to "why not" have a drink. Alcohol is a beverage choice, like water, milk, coffee, or soda. Do you question why people don't drink a soda every time they go somewhere there is a soda fountain, or why they don't drink coffee whenever they are in a "coffee"…

This post just makes me sad and angry. We have to; we just have to. I do have some pause, though, wondering how that works in practicality. In court cases you have to have evidence, and the evidence in a case like this would be the woman's testimony. But that testimony, when compared to the denial by the accused,…

Ugh, who cares if she loses weight and says how much she loves that too. it might be for publicity when she says stuff, but maybe her weight gain or loss is her business. And maybe we can all get over this need to make celebrities pick one body image adn stick with it to espouse. Maybe the thing is to point out…

I really don't get it. Celebrities get snarked on for voicing how they like to be thing, and they also get snarked on for voicing how they embrace their curves. Can't they just say how they feel in the moment? Do they really have to pick one body type and stick with it forever, or fluctuate but hate themselves when…

I think when you're surrounded by people in the same income bracket, even if it a much higher one than most people's in the country, it's pretty ease to think you are just average. perspective...

You raise some good questions. Do the diamon chips just flake off after time? I mean, are there now chips of diamonds flloating around? I would be much more upset about my nail polish chipping if i new I was losing diamonds on top of it all.

you left off: #8. the guest stars. They have AWESOME guest stars and supporting cast. It's one of the few shows where I don't really have to wonder if the suspect is being squirelly because his character is squirelly or because the actor just can't act.

yeah, I do think somehow we switched from just spending time with people to needing to do something when you are with them. I don't know when that happened - maybe the onset of Starbucks on every corner coupled with the Friends folks always hanging out at a coffee shop, but I definitly think that's part of the…

wow, that' s sad about the scoffing or guilt tripping. As to the offering to pay...I can understand feeling like a charity case now that I am the one saying I can't afford something, but there used to be a time when, if I wanted to do something specific and really wanted to do it with a specific friend, I would offer…

I agree. I am more than happy to say "it's not worth it," or "I don't need it." Which means, that I am not going to spend my hard earned money on it. But, I am already shopping at a higher price point than my parents probably ever did, and that makes a difference to the bottom line.

oh - I'm realizing my comment wasn't clear either. No - I meant, she's not happy with having to diet stricly to maintain whatever ideal she thought she had to maintain so she is trying to find a better way. Not sure what the better way is - maybe more acceptance?

i took that quote as explaining her weight gain. As in, "i tend to bulk up and i don't really like that, so i have to stricly diet to not bulk up. i'm not happy with that, so I am trying to find a new balance and a bette way."

yeah, I was wondering if she actually would have posted if her body wasn't quite so fit or shapely. At the same time, I applaud her for leading a campaign on acceptance. She has the power to touch people and it;s nice to see it used in a way that might actually help.
