A debate of sorts broke out about what size Marilyn Monroe would really be with vanity sizing today, but Chubbers cleared it up. She also won the you-should-totally-be-a-motivational-speaker! for this priceless gem:
Ladies, our bodies are wondrous miracles: they are strong enough to bring life into this world, and then to nurture that life. Our backs can carry many burdens, and our hands are always mending, soothing, working, and loving. Let's love our bodies for what they can do, not for what size jeans we cover them in.
When even gorgeous Julianne Moore admits she basically has to eat like someone with a very bad flu in order to maintain her figure (and she's not even considered Hollywood skinny), Candy Kim busts it out and wins the "Paging Hollywood: wake up and smell the coffee!" award:
Hollywood sets this ridiculous standard which we all feel like we have to live up to. This standard becomes the norm that we expect our icons to match, and when they don't we, the normal people, deride them for it. They make us feel like we're not good enough, and in return we do the same. It's awful. No one should be existing on a diet of 500 calories a day, not eating shouldn't be the measure of job security. I really hope that comments like Julianne Moore's and even James Marsters's will open up a realistic evaluation by the industry as well as the public about what is "ideal." A diet of 500 calories a day is an eating disorder, plain and simple, and anorexia is not an ideal anyone should aspire to.
Boo-ya, lady!
I didn't say that; but I'll take credit for it ;)
