I am not interested in a woman who looks as though she’ll blow away in a strong breeze, snap like a twig during an intimate embrace, or collapse from malnutrition. > > I remember the day J Lo had her butt reduced. I sat, slackjawed staring into space for an hour. I could not understand why she would do such a thing. Would Shakespeare rip up an act from Macbeth? Would DaVinci slash the edges off his Mona Lisa? So you like big butts and you cannot lie? ---

Kate’s a babe, all right, but IMNSHO, a lady that will cause serious heart palpatations is [Jane Krakowski](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005105/) . I’d never heard of her before I watched the 2004 version of Christmas Carol with Kelsey Grammar. She plays the Lamplighter / Ghost of Christmas Past. I’m in love. ---

She was on Ally MacBeal for years. She was a charming and voluptuous counterpoint to the skeletal Calista Flockhart. ---

Krakowski also played one of the trashy cousins in _Vacation_. ---

[This](http://www.admiringkate.com/gqcover.jpg) is the Kate Winslet _cover_ of GQ that the quotes were actually referencing. Though judging by the photo **ChoosyChips** posted, the inside photos were even worse. ---

I really should have made a new thread for this but I don’t think anyone else would really care that much. But this is rather ground breaking for me. I just found [this](http://www.furvert.net/MinervaMink/) on another thread. It’s me! That’s exactly what I would look like if I were cartoon! … I just thought you guys _might_ care… 🙂 BTW, I’ve never done the link thing before so I hope that worked! ---

Ironically, my favorite Kate Winslet movie is _Enigma_, when she’s supposed to be totally frumpy and unattractive compared to Saffron Burrows’ character. Yeah, as if. Brains, wit, backbone _and_ beauty. My god, the perfect woman. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-god-kate-winslet-is-not-skinny-and-its-so-hot/295155.md?page=3)
