I’d brag about it too.
Um…'scuse me, Scotti, but was that adressed to me? It’s hard to tell, since you didn’t quote or anything, but it looks like it might be.
I wasn’t aware that you loved me, but from what I’ve seen, you’re a total sweetheart who pretty much loves most everyone by default, right? 
It’s just that, as best I can recall, the only time I’ve directly interacted with you here was when I accidentally insulted you by saying nasty things about the Washington State public school system.
But hey, FWIW, I love you too. In a never-having-met-you kind of way. 
If Natalie Maines is fat, then I fear I must be somewhere between the Goodyear Blimp and Unicron on the size scale. That said, it’s grossly unfair to say she’s the fat one. Sure, she’s the biggest of the three but only because she has a different build (as has been said earlier). I find all three of them to be quite attractive. I also think they are talented musicians; however, I’m not a big fan of country music. I did like “Goodbye, Earl,” though.
On a side note, I’m not sure how much more of this Dixie Chicks backlash I can take. I was just watching Andromeda, and a commercial comes up advertising an action-movie marathon the WB station here is showing this weekend. The morning show DJ’s of a country station are hosting it. Per the commercial, it’s called the Dixie-Chicks-A-Thon. You can call in to give a donation to support research to find a cure for foot-and-mouth disease. The spot ended with one of the DJ’s cursing at the camera about how he’d like to put his boot up their asses or something.
I have no idea if that’s the theme of the marathon or if it was just a joke for the commercial. Either way, they took a funny joke (I admit, I laughed about the foot-and-mouth disease bit) and beat that bastard to death.
No, you’re not the only one.
Unfortunately, Landslide was such a HUGE turn off for me, I can’t listen to any of their older (and, IMHO, much better) songs without cringing.
I’ll listen to bloody stupid commercials before Landslide.
Although, to paraphrase a relative (in a different setting), she sounds like “a cat in heat, yowling into a metal bucket.”
Ya know, that pic looks really good when you clean all the words off em!
(I love Photoshop)
Particlewill ------- Can you take out all that airbrushing so we can check out the stretchmarks?
No, but I suppose I could paint some in for you if it’s really important to you.
Thanks,but it just wouldn’t be the same. I have a friend that’s a professional photographer and after looking at some of his before and after “glamour” shots I keep getting this mental picture.
Some mental pictures shouldn’t be taken.
Maybe I’m just stuck in a different era, but what relevance does one’s physical appearance have to one’s musical merit?
Because it sucks that there are probably some great musicians out there who aren’t getting the popularity they deserve because their appearance or weight makes them “unmarketable” to some record company executives. I wonder whether Cass Elliot would have been able to make it in today’s shallow world.
Photoshoppers - is it not possible that those aren’t their actual bodies?
Natalie’s weight has fluctuated visibly throughout the Chicks’ career. (Can a group have one collective career?) I can certainly see her being called the fat one among the three of them, but being that fattest of three skinny people is not the same as being fat.
I wouldn’t call her ugly either. I might say that she’s the one whose make-up and fashion sense are most guided by Jayne Mansfield.
Count me in with Pepperland Girl. I really don’t care what the hell she looks like; Natalie’s got a voice like a deflating accordion, and it drives me absolutely insane. I’d like to say she’s fat, just because I really can’t stand her, but at most you could say she’s been “chubby.”
And as for the cover of EW, mags have no qualms about airbrushing; Kate Winslet pitched a fit at Maxim b/c she said they airbrushed about a third of her off their cover.
[sub]And I really don’t care what Natalie Maines said about GW being from Texas; I was just happy that more people hated her.[/sub]
Yes…sorry, hon. When I composed that post, YOUR post was directly above mine. By the time I posted it, there was someone in between. In one of the “I hate it when posters…” threads, someone said it was annoying when people quoted a thread directly above and I try not to do that. Guess I will go back to quoting anyway…with my apologies to whomever hates it.
WELLLL…not exactly… but maybe kinda’. However, I retain good thoughts about you from a couple of threads…one that I think had to do with a PNW Dopefest thread. I can’t find it, though, so maybe I am delusionary. I guess you must have impressed me favorably in the one YOU mentioned too, so you evidentally handled the whole thing well.
See, NOW you get it!!! 
[sub]Besides, if I didn’t love you beFORE, I love you NOW…for your comment in this thread. As an average sort of weight type lady, I was feeling like a whale compared to the aforementioned Natalie Mains…it was very reassuring to have you say she wasn’t fat. [/sub]
Well, okay then. Cool.
[sub]Hear that fellas? Scotti loves me! Nyaah nyaah!:D[/sub]
Perfect. Thank you.
I know nothing about the Dixie Chicks. I have never heard of of their songs.
But I looked a picture of them, and instantly signled out the one who I surmise to be Natalie Maines as the pretty one.
You guys are all on crack.
Fat? I sure don’t see it.
That said, there’s definitely something very weird about the face on the one in the center (that’s Maines, isn’t it?). The eyes and brow look more like they belong on a CGI character in a Peter Jackson movie, and that mouth just doesn’t help.
I’m kind of liking this trend of Nudes for Peace. Unfortunately, this one seems to have cut her legs while shaving. The burning peace symbol is sort of cool though.
BTW, she’s not fat either.
