Her face isn’t overly made-up, her hair’s blowing in the breeze, and, of course, her curves are kickin’. But she does feel weird when people talk about her body, which we think is a normal reaction to the tons of attention focused on her boobs, butt, and thighs. Hendricks says she felt even more womanly (in a good way) when she weighed 15 pounds more. Finally, a happy medium: A not obese, not rail-thin woman who’s getting some attention for her looks – and her talent. via CBS Post from: BlissTree Christina Hendricks Seems Like a Normal Woman (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3718363 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 22:53:52 +0100 3718363 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2200496&cid=t_225473_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2009%2F02%2F19%2Fminding-the-media-is-the-thinning-economy-bringing-curves-back%2F From time to time, we see articles proclaiming that thin is totally in or curvy is making a comeback. Oftentimes, this proclamation occurs after fuller-sized models (by fuller, we mean a size 4) grace the runway at a fashion show or a curvaceous actress (like Christina Hendricks of “Mad Men”) piques the media’s interest. These statements, however, remain weekly trends, at best. Recently, though, an article in The Telegraph announced another potential trend, one that might have greater longevity: “recession curves.” It appears that the state of the economy may shape the current physical ideal. And in today’s cool economic climate, a curvier ideal might help cushion the blow, explains the article’s writer, Celia Walden. Historically, in times of trouble, we tend to pr...

Even other stars are sounding off. They’ve praised Simpson’s physical appearance, while some in the media have expressed shock, awe and disgust. But what does this uproar over weight really tell us? Weight always incites an investigative witch hunt. Whether it’s excruciatingly emaciated stars or frighteningly “fat” celebs, the discussion of weight is always top priority for the entertainment media. In fact, such colossal concerns make it on a magazine cover over the president of the United States of America. Talk about priorities. Once a famous person’s weight gain is broadcast to the world, it’s time to figure out how ...

However, the new Wii game, guitar hero, proves to be quite a challenge. There’s the issue of finger isolation, co-ordination and any number of different skills that prove insurmountable but tantalizingly tempting for the junior members of the household. Personally, I’d rather watch paint dry, but it takes all sorts I suppose. Although the persevere to master these new skills, the ratio of grief to joy is not favourable. I need ear plugs for the wailing let alone the actual music itself. I expect a plastic guitar to be hurled with every passing missed note. As a result my own productivity reaches at all time low as they cannot be left unsupervised unless I wish...

It's like a plot to trip me into senility early, well, a little bit early.Take the simplest task, anything, go on, nothing too taxing. How about coaxing a grammatically correct question? A campaign to change 'what it is' to 'what is it?' Sounds like it ought to be feasible? After twenty minutes of sputtering I determine that I will fare much better if I refuel.I stop into the kitchen with exasperation and decide that if I don't eat soon, I will probably expire on the carpet.I think of a quick fix, big calories, small quantity, for speedy consumption and immediate energy boost. I grab the uncut loaf, cut a thick slice and match it with a dollop of Cambazola, even though it is chill...
