I admit it was my own fault for picking up the current “Us” magazine, but I am attracted to brightly colored junk (mmm, Cheetos). Anyway, I haven’t seen American Idol on TV, but peruse the print article in Us. And here is “Kelly Clarkson, 20”, a pert little “cocktail waitress at a comedy club.” There she is in a group shot with the other pert little contestants. So far so good, until at the end of her profile:
“Full-figured”?? No, not just “full-figured” but “very full-figured”??!!! What the hell are you talking about? I hate to bring up the whole, no wonder girls are starving themselves, but no wonder girls are starving themselves? How skewed is her vision of herself that she thinks she is very full-figured? Am I missing something and the photos of her have somehow obscured the boobage and hippage she seems to think she has?
And, if she actually were very full-figured, would that make her horribly unattractive?
Don’t wear short shorts if they make you uncomfortable (even super-skinny girls may not like them), but cut this very full-figured crap. ARGGGG.
Oh, I’m glad you brought this up, because this pissed me the hell off when I read it. I wonder if she’s always thought this, or weeks of performing next to Tamyra and Christina (two other very thin contestants) took their toll on her.
There is no way in hell she qualifies as “very full-figured,” and a big grrr to anyone who had an influence in making her think so. :mad:
Now Randy Jackson (the black judge on american Idol)could stand to lose a few pounds, but Kelly? That’s just nuts, and a sad comment on the press-generated body dysmorphia that is distorting our views of what a healthy body should look like.
Jesus H. Kee-rhist in a litter box—if she’s full-figured, I’m a whole farmload of hogs that have just eaten Shelley Winters, with a side of Marlon Brando!
She better get on that crack, heroine, cocaine cocktail soon then if she wants to lose enough weight to be normal again. (insert roll eyes smiley here since I don’t know how to do it)
If anything she should gain some weight. She is on the verge of looking unhealthily skinny.
Now I’m really drepressed, if she thinks she’s full figured I must be a morbidly obese cow. I guess it’s time to get rid of my jeans and go buy some nice polyester and some moo-moos.
[sub]get it? cow, moo-moos, ha! sometimes I crack myself up[/sub]
I guess if she doesn’t win, she can sue for sizism. And if she wins, she will be a new role model for all those heavy-set girls out there who will then know the sky is the limit.
Okay, I’ve never seen the show, so am I being gigantically whooshed here? I see a pic of a pert lil waitress, not somebody who’s remotely “full-figured”, let alone “morbidly obese”. If you click on her picture where it says “Photos”, it brings up a whole bunch of pix of perfectly normal looking female persons, certainly not one of which is “full-figured”, many of whom have their navels exposed as proof. Are they all of Clarkson? All those wannabes start looking the same to me after a while.
