Define "Full Figured"

October 15th, 2008

In the world of celebrities, the phrase “full figured” is applied to such women as Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet, and America Ferrera—a category of women who I’ve always viewed as “Hollywood fat.” The women who are called “full figured” are often treated as overweight by the media; we’ve seen it time and again.

Miss. Ferrera has been popping up on more and more “best dressed” lists recently, and it’s no […]

Airbrushing The Thin

April 22nd, 2008

even cammy diaz isn’t perfect Originally uploaded by mo pie We all know that OK Magazine lied about Britney’s weight loss, and Glamour airbrushed America Ferrera. And now there’s another problem—or is it a problem? Conde Nast has admitted to airbrushing ultra-thin models to make them look larger. [There is] a trend towards presenting less […]

OMGWTFBBW!!

March 24th, 2008

Ezinearticles.com just made a list of the “Top 40 BBWs of all time.” Sounds good, right? Sure, until you get to the list, and you realize that some of the women on it are not all what most people would consider “BBW”s. Mo’nique, Camryn Manheim, Mama Cass, Rosie O’Donnell… sure. But Jamie Lee Curtis? Sophia […]

A Comment That Got Really, Really Long

January 23rd, 2008

Here is the comment I was responding to, from cathy: What confuses me is the idea of this website. Mo called it a gateway to fat acceptance yet one of the contributers had gastric bypass and mo has a blog and has had for a few years dedicated to her attempts to lose weight? I […]

Ugly Betty Open Thread

January 11th, 2008

Last night’s episode of Ugly Betty featured Betty advocating for a “healthy models” fashion show. According to the TWoP recap: Betty asks if they couldn’t show a wider range of women — normal, but not deathy. Finally, someone stands up for the non-deathy women in fashion! Okay, besides Tyra. Betty had the graphics department put […]

america airbrushed Originally uploaded by mo pie Reader Jessica wanted to make sure we were all aware of this post from Manolo for the Big Girl. (Since I’ve been off getting married and stuff, and I just got home, it’s good to get caught up on what I missed.) So the deal is, Glamour magazine […]

Our Celebrity Bodies, Our Celebrity Selves

April 19th, 2007

An interesting article from MSN’s Gossip page, about some celeb’s attitudes towards their bodies, dieting, and the industry they’re in, which asks them to lose ten pounds every time they turn around.

Fuck You, Socialite's Life

April 15th, 2007

This is just to formally declare my shunning of A Socialite’s Life’s Christina Wasil for her recent shitty comments regarding America Ferrera, whom I will apparently now defend to the death. Hopefully this defending will involve a steel cage match, just because that would be awesome. Plus, I suspect that should it come to that, […]

Let's Hope Airbrushing Wasn't Involved

April 7th, 2007

My god, how can anyone, anywhere, think America Ferrera needs to lose weight? Maybe it’s a myth. Maybe everyone knows she’s gorgeous. Because come on. I wouldn’t even call her
