Some might like the hard bodied type, or not like women who are broad in the beam, [but I think she’s perfect.](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1391848/Christina-Hendricks-causes-Lake-Como-tion-black-swimsuit-enjoys-dip-pool.html?ito=feeds-newsxml) ---

I’ve had a jones for her ever since she played Saffron in a couple of episodes of “Firefly.” ---

She is SO beautiful. A natural blonde, too. Some women gets all the gifts… Not to do with anything, but yesterday I was reading the entertainment portion of the online site for our local news: “This week in entertainment: Blah Band performs at the Casino; News from Cannes; Christina Hendricks’ Breasts; Free Show at the State Fair” - and of course all the comments were a variation of “Christina Hendricks is going to show her breasts for free at the Fair?! Sweet!”. 😛 ---

Can’t say she appeals to me much, but she sure does have her fans. ---

I agree that Ms. Hendricks is lovely but she does not know how to dress in a manner that compliments her figure or her coloring. Usually I blame that on her stylist but I assume she picks out her own bathing suist. Not a good look, Christina. ---

Too fat for me, I’m more attracted to skinny chicks. She does have a beautiful face and manner though. Would totally hit her character in Mad Men. ---

> [@River\_Hippie](#): > > Too fat for me, I’m more attracted to skinny chicks. Isn’t that the sick thing, though? She’s not actually overweight. It’s more the choice of clothing and the fact that the camera adds weight. It’s ok if you’re attracted to uber-thin women, but it’s kind of a stretch to say Hendricks is “fat” by any rational definition of the word. At worst, she’s on the upper end of ‘normal’ on the BMI scale, which I guess makes her ‘Hollywood’ fat (e.g. irrational definition of “fat”). ---

Well… realistically she _is_ a little tubby in those pics, not that it makes me appreciate her any less. ---

At worst, she’s on the upper end of ‘normal’ on the BMI scale, which I guess makes her ‘Hollywood’ fat (e.g. irrational definition of “fat”). I don’t want to start a “thing” here, as overall, your broader point about Hollywood and a clearly unrealistic body type (women who are crazy-skinny being held up as the norm) is spot on, but in this case Ms. Hendricks (whom I had never heard of or seen pictures of until reading this thread today) is pretty obviously overweight, (even if only 10-15 pounds) and I would guess that most people viewing those photos would say she is indeed a little bit fat. ## (My observation is based on the pictures linked by the OP) Attractive woman? Yes! A bit on the chunky side? Also, yes… ---

Re-reading my earlier post now that I’m no longer intoxicated, I feel I should add that I’m only that picky (and shallow) when it comes to discussing celeb crushes on the internet. IRL she’d be WAY outta my league! ---

When it comes time to display the upper half of her tits, she seems to like to flatten them out into two round pillows. Looks unnatural. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/christina-hendricks-of-mad-men-is-yummy/583681.md?page=2)
