Just a few weeks ago I posted the Gymorexia Article detailing the growing dissatisfaction everyday people are having for their bodies. Now I’ve come across a great blog post that has called out ‘media personalities’ for some absolutely moronic behaviours when it not only comes to average bodies but what most people would categorize as a beautiful body too.
Where are we headed as a society when people call Victoria’s Secret models ‘Fat’ and stylists refuse to dress people because they are overweight?
The vid below is the Victoria’s Secret model that one blogger called fat.
Although Lilly Allen’s comments seem to be a breath of fresh air: “I hang out with models, the biggest pop stars and, you know, really and honestly, I hate saying this, but none of them are achieving those body shapes by being healthy. They’re not just going to the gym two hours a day. They’re not eating or they’re taking speed not to eat. In America everyone abuses that Adderall stuff and people aren’t normal.”
Here’s the link and the story in more detail: The Curvy Nerd Blog.
I LOVE this article! Thank you - I've re-tweeted. I think you have hit the nail on the head about acheiving a cetain size 'naturally and healthily'. To me Kate Upton is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI think a healthy body is something people think is 'average' and people or paticulary young women don't want to be be 'average' they want to be underweight, have a below average BMI.
It's all a bit sad how 'average' has become 'fat'.
