Quote From: irishmom Why is America so caught up in celebrities? What does it say about our country when we look up to people who fit the stereotypical image of "beautiful" instead of firefighters, who risk their lives to save the lives of others, instead of doctors who save lives, or policemen who put their lives on the line for our safety? Most celebrities
ARE NOTthat good looking in all reality. Haven't you ever seen pictures of some of them without all of their make-up on?? I look better than some of those women when they aren't all dolled up, and I'm your average (albeit overweight) Joe-Anne!!!! Some of these celebrities have real issues with their self-image. They may seem happy but many of them are miserable underneath that mask!! You have anorexic and bulimic stars - all to fit this stereotypical image of what "beauty" should look like!!
MARILYN MONROE WAS A SIZE 8!!!!!!!!! Wasn't she beautiful? A size 8 woman would never be able to be a star in today's time! Jennifer Lopez was jealous when she saw Ben looking at an "ordinary" girl!! The grass is always greener on the other side. Even celebrities think they aren't attractive!!
Hi there great Post!
I did have to say though, Marilyn may have been an 8, but when she filmed Some Like it Hot, I think she was a whopping size 12....... Ahhhhh to see a size 12 again..... and not have it refered to as a plus size !..... I don't recall the girls' name, but her dad is Steven Tyler ( no not Liv, her sister). She had won a contract as a plus size model.... then the said she was 5' 10" 175..... I cringed..... at 5' 10" and 203 I must need to go to Omar the tent maker for my clothes if this girl is considered plus size......
