Look, I'd like to go back what I wanted to originally talk about because it was totally looked over. I want to talk about how the media brainwashes people into thinking that there is only one concept of beauty and that if you're fat or in between, then you are worth nothing.

one of the first things they told us in college, at least the actors, is basically to give up because there are hungrier, thinner, better actor/dancer/singers out there and all of them are waiting tables right now with one eye on the spotlight, so to speak.  the difference of course being in stage theater was that you really don't have to have looks per se because they could make you look however they wanted at a distance of fifty feet, but that for film acting, unless you start out perfect, give up.


the sad thing was that they were right; you hear that and think 'god how cynical, anyone can be anything' but then you turn on the tv and realize, it just isn't so.

But there are loads of thick people who are famous! Oprah, Queen Latifah, Neicy Nash!

I'm sorry, this just made me giggle loads as in UK, thick=stupid

LOL.

Thick is sometimes used to describe a woman with more meat on her bones

I think people are starting top get wise. I mean yeah, the media is still managing to brain wash some people are starting to realizing that being yourself isn't all that bad.

the media would stand to make shitloads more money by expanding the parameters of what is considered beautiful.

I've always hated the "thick" descriptor as it has always struck me as a "word of denial". The only folks who I have ever seen described as "thick" are those that are an unhealthy weight. This is not to be confused with thin.

by that same token, gay marriage would make shitloads more money for those that profit from that sort of thing.  so, in fact, would selling pot.  clearly, everyone seems to figure they are already making enough money?

or are we just really that goddamn stubborn?

People change quickly. groups a little slower, and countries slowest of all.

You have to ask?

Not really, think of all the industries out there that try to get people to that ideal.  Plus people will watch the people who are their ideal even more as they wish to be them.

comic books would suck ass without a body ideal.  they'd be all landscapes.

Yeah but even comic books have curvy women.

they are a combination of exaggerated qualities; curves plus wasp-waist plus impossibly long legs plus layers of muscle.

actually i have heard of just about everything, my comic collection would make you sick.  probably literally, i like some odd shit.  but i'm talking about hero comics mostly; like on tv, the heavier drawn women are the exception and not the norm.  in this case, this page is only empowering to the extent it could be in the era it was drawn.
