“I would close down all those teenage magazines that encourage young girls to diet. Who says that to be pretty you have to be thin? Some people look better thin and some don’t. There is almost a standard being created where only thin is acceptable. The influence of those magazines on girls as young as 13 is horrific.”

Idk which magazines she’s talking about though =/ I wish I knew
I can only think of seventeen or cosmogirl and the only thing I ever saw them show was how to eat healthy and how to get in shape

That’s so true! Some people really do look better when they’re more filled out. I knew a girl back in high school that I would NEVER describe as ANY kind of fat and yet, when she went to college, she lost SO much weight it was SCARY. She looked like a skeleton! How can that be attractive?

No one will listen to her because she’s a woman actress. But she’s absolutely right.

I do agree with her, however it seems a bit weird coming from her. The entertainment industry runs on fantasy. If she herself looked like what some would describe as normal, would she have gotten all the roles she has in movies?
guest
I love her!

@Chii_wa_chii@xanga - But she is ‘normal.’ Just because she has curves, it doesn’t make her abnormal or larger-than-life.

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - @direwolf005@xanga - @fried_ryce@xanga -
@modelxomaterial@xanga - Indeed.
@Starry_eyed_gypsy@xanga - Exactly.
