Never thought I.dFollow

....say it, but hooray Meghan McCain.
I love me some Gabby Sidibe. I want to be her bestie, do our nails together, go shopping, talk smack about the opposite sex, the whole nine. I adore the fact that she is at home with who she is. Women are so constantly socialized to be aware of their physicality that it's refreshing as hell to me that she is so damn determined to love herself, but it's not easy.

FF to Meghan McCain, shown here election night, far right. I read her blog off and on during the campaign. I was always a little disappointed at how closely she adhered to the campaign stances, but I'm glad to see she has become more of a Progressive, even if she is on the wrong side of the aisle to my way of thinking. The girl is gorgeous, but not a size 2. Laura Ingraham noticed, commented, and this is Meghan's response.



Goddamnit, I'm turning a corner. No more making fun of weight. Consider yourself lucky that you're gone, Katie.

My mother always insisted it was down to lazy fashion designers. It's easy to design clothes that look good hanging straight down - same on the body as on the hanger, essentially.

It was her only conspiracy theory, but she clung to it.

I've been aware of this Weight War between Meghan and Ingrahm for awhile now. When I first heard about it and read Meghans responses back she won my complete respect. We may not see eye to eye on political views, but as far as female role models go? She's a winner in that area, hands down. She has a good head on her shoulders, a great sense of self worth but not an inflated ego like some I could think of. And she stands up for herself and countless others along the way. Ingrahm has no idea how pathetically stupid, whiny, and immature she sounds like when attacking another womans weight because they dont agree politically. Then again shes an ignorant bitch anyways.

This.

Weight and looks are two things I try to avoid critisizing. I can't say I'm always successful, but I try. I don't consider myself a land whale or anything, but I'll admit I'm uncomfortable with my size. (It doesn't help with your own mother offers to send you to a "weight program" when you're a size 8.) But these are things that I worry about in myself, so I try hard not to pick on someone else because of them.

You can tell she's French because she doesn't even shave her nipples.

I had a Polish girlfriend once who didn't shave her armpits, and it didn't bother me. All the French girls I've been with shaved, though. Although I'm ashamed to admit the sample might not be enough to be considered statistically significant.

I'd stick that in the "French People <3 Jerry Lewis" category tbh.

Well to start there is the first lady who has recently declared war on childhood obesity.

She didn't declare war on unhealthy childhood diets, or unhealthy childhood lifestyles although these are her tools to combat 'childhood obesity'. Ultimately though the skinny kid that lives on soda and video games is good to go.

I could probably go off on a rant about larger people using up more resources, farting up more methane, but that could easily be off-set by the argument that large people are more capable of doing more and harder work.

We're just stupid people. Cripes, we SHAVE OUR LEGS because someone, somewhere along the line thought it looked good.

I expected you to be more perspicacious.



Outside of her boobs, she has the body of a man? I want some of what you're smoking.

I hate fake boobs.

For a start, they completely ruined ****. And secondly: stress ball. Same effect, just a lot cheaper.

I'll grant you I haven't seen a lot of 17 year old boys without their shirts on since I was in high school, but the way I remember them, she looks like a skinny kid who hasn't muscled up yet. She certainly doesn't look athletic to me. If anything I'd say it's more likely an eating disorder.

As to my perspicaciousness, it's intact. I just don't find skinny chicks attractive. They remind me of teenagers.

She's not "skinny". Maybe that picture wasn't the best one, but do some research on the subject and you'll see she's not. Kiera Knightley is "skinny". Laetitia Casta isn't.

And your perspicaciousness sucks, her tits are totally real. So nyah nyah.

Okay, that's an interesting point. What do you mean by bad teeth?

Americans have a really different standard for "good" teeth as opposed to the rest of the world, which is why I wondered.

Pretty much this. When I was visiting Taiwan a few years ago on business, one of the girls at the office was absolutely gorgeous, until she smiled at me; rotten spots in the grill make my stomach lurch.

I'm not one to complain about a set of pearly whites that aren't pearly white, being a coffee drinker and on-and-off smoker. But when I see snaggleteeth, missing teeth, rotted teeth, or some serious discoloration, I'm out.
