Perhaps. Because I’m at a loss as to what kind of mad brainwashing would cause people to make ridiculous comments like this…

“As gorgeous as she is – she is overweight. Double standards here. I doubt we would ever hear you say, “XXX looks amazing with her protruding collar bone”. No wonder women are confused about what weight / shape is healthy.”

That comment was in response to this…

Now I know I’m at risk of turning this blog into a Christina Hendricks shrine at the moment, but seriously, that comment is just beyond my comprehension. The reaction to her Golden Globes dress I could at least try to understand. It was a risky choice, a fairly unflattering colour and it was fussy, which some people might argue is a bad choice for someone who’s not Hollywood slim.

But to call her unhealthy and overweight? Talk about going too far. In what possible way is this woman even close being overweight? Christina Hendricks is 5′8. To be even slightly overweight (going by the Body Mass Index, which is also what my doctor’s surgery relies on) she’d have to weigh 168lbs – that’s 12 stone. I can pretty much guarantee you she doesn’t weigh anywhere near that. One website lists her measurements as 36-32-36. I’m sure her waist is much smaller than that, given than mine is 32 inches. But either way, that makes her about a size 12. Hardly obese, is it?!

There’s only one saving grace in this for me. The place where I found the comment was actually The Daily Mail website, which we all know has its fair share of resident morons. The site allows other users to vote on people’s comments. The comment above is the worst rated comment, and for once, I totally agree with the 300 people (and counting) who think ‘FK’ from London needs to get a grip on reality.

When size 12 is fat, we’re all in trouble.

Above is at Eric Tibusch, but a couple of days earlier at Chanel, it was the same story and then some…

It’s kind of Varga girl meets Lily Munster. With BOWS. I love it.
