But you know what she was (I think) alluding to, right? 'Cause we all know there are black women who will always be on hand to say 'what curves?' (among other things) when a picture of a white girl is put up and people talk about her body shape, especially if it's in a positive light. Now I'm not saying you were doing this, but I know you're surely aware of that 'practice' by some. I'd actually like to know what that's all about, but I guess that's for another thread and another time.

I don't know what you're talking about. Maybe that's just your perception

I wouldn't do it at gunpoint.

Again, it would be safer to stick it in battery acid.

I think she looks beautiful. I think the "problem" here is that the pics were not airbrushed. I'm sure more stars look like this than we realize.

They all do, once you take away the makeup, hairdos & expensive clothes.

applekisses said:

it's done to all promo shots, then as soon as an unflattering paparazzi shot is published, then it's all "my! she HAS let herself go!"

I think that she's one of the hottest sweet Hollywood Girls one can find, to put it quite firmly. The one of her posterior and legs isn't the "MOST" flattering. But, her face is all the same. I always thought she was cute. I don't know. I just know that "SHE" isn't fat....."AT ALL!!!"

Janfriend said:

Well then what DOES make someone "curvy" if not her CURVES Jan? Fine, you're not talking about "THE hood" - what's so different about the women in your neighborhood then?

I just don't get it. & why is it so hard to explain your comment No, you don't NEED to but it'd be nice if you DID.

Just make it real simple: what do you call "curvy"?

Janfriend said:

That's not even clever Do you really not know how obvious you're being here? Really? Don't join the Debate Team w/ this shit

Seriously though Jan, what a thin response. Just be honest here... & so you don't think you're being unfairly targeted (though I love our exchanges ) I'll pose the same question to the other person who doesn't see her "curves"

SexyBeautifulOne said:

So what IS "curvy" to you? How is she not curvy? Can you explain?

NDRU said:

Oh give me a breka...really. Most of the time the skinny chicks get NOTHING but love. I don't care if they look close to death.

10 pounds over weight isn't extreme.....


Nicole is extreme...thus to me yeah...nasty and sick.


If Jennifer blew up 70lbs or something...i would go to that too.


and to Jan's saying every woman has hips and breasts...ummmm..nope.

My mother didn't have hips AT ALL...lol. She had a little booty and no hips.

Jennifer has curves.

But I guess this is what Jan is talking about:

Rhondab said:

TRUE...



That's what I'm guessing too. Wouldn't be so much easier if Jan would simply explain?

& dammit Rhonda, that pic is terrible!!

Nicole is looking a lot healthier since pregnancy, people :

purplesweat said:

Are you on crack?? She's looking healthier BECAUSE she's pregnant!! As if she gained a decent amount of weight FIRST & then got pregnant, please Good Lord...

NDRU said:

I agree .
Why are women of all sizes and shapes are judged on their looks so much more than men .

Serious said:

Yeah!?! I'm a man and I actually often wonder that, myself. But, I feel just as obligated to keep in shape. I mean, sometimes I eat responsibly and, other times I don't. But, I try to maintain my weight, either way because, even at 6'0 and weighing around two-hundred seventy pounds, I always felt as if "MY" weight had actually mattered when it came down to how accessible women found me and vice versa (In terms of tangibility.). Now, I'm down at between 175-185lbs, but I "STILL" don't know what the problem.

Otherwise, when it comes to the male outlook, no one really bothers to look at how "FRUMPY" the likes of "Nick Lachet" might be. At least, not as much as they do with the likes of Vanessa Minillo (Neither of which look bad enough to point a finger at. I mean, that's not to say that I condone finger-pointing, period. But, if you're going to do it, do it to someone who actually has "HEALTH PROBLEMS" because of the maintenance or "LACK THEROF" of their weight.). But, I've always wondered that, myself.

FarrahMoan said:

Serious said:

"Are you feeling me, now!"

Seriously, though. The irony about the whole mention of Ms. Minillo is that she isn't even as bad as Nick Lacet, if bad at all. Also, take Christopher Wallace as another example. He didn't change his whole outlook after getting the money, either. Nor was it really pressured onto him....

No, she's talking about that pic above that you posted of that chick with the dimply asscheeks.....

applekisses said:

You are absolutely right, applekisses. Because I am one in an army of many who for a living makes the calls on where and how much they're airbrushed

FarrahMoan said:

oh I know....I don't see it.

FarrahMoan said:

Oh, cut the crap.
It's not just women that get judged on appearance and weight.
I remember my "chubby phase" coming out of middle school going into high school, and girls that would actually laugh at me. Right up until i learned how to swim and dropped 60 lbs and then the SAME girls were asking me out.

Women do the same shit. You know ya'll do.

ButterscotchPimp said:

Women have it far worse than men when it comes to being judged on looks. Sure to a certain degree men are judged as well, but no way near as much as women.

Serious said:

That's what I meant. I mean, it sucked for me because I had a few schoolboy crushes for girls that were cute, but I began getting frumpy and chubby around the second grade and stayed that way up until I was sixteen years old and now I maintain. I actually used to be thin from the times I was born to the time I was eight. So thin that my head was like that my head stood out like that animated martian character would always ask, "WHERE IS THE MODULATOR??!!!?" I ad the pencilneck to go with it and everything.

But, I never received the type of pointing and staring treatment that a lot of women have that I would see receiving it. Women are pressured "MORE" than men to keep their weight. Common knowledge, dude! Just look at Christopher Wallace, man! I mean, sure. He might be deceased. But, while he was alive, he got around. Big Pun. Ya think he didn't get the ladies (Married or not.)? If so, think again! Dudes can have it bad. But, not as bad as the women.....

Rhondab said:

Such hypocrisy. So it's ok to be judgmental towards women who are either in shape or thin, but how dare anybody judge a woman who is overweight??

Oh, and by the way, these pictures are NOT the same thing as Jennifer Love Hewitt 's out of shape body!!!

truefunksoldier said:

I can't see their unretouched butts in those pics so for all I know, they could be the same.
