Skinny VS Curvy

“People will say, ‘Oh, fashion magazines are so bad, they’re giving girls a negative message’–but we’re also the fattest country in the world, so it’s not like we’re all looking at fashion magazines and not eating. Maybe it just starts a shame cycle: I’m never going to look like that model, so… Chicken McNuggets it is! And conversely, I don’t look at models who are crazy skinny and think I want to look like that, because a lot of them are gigantic, with giant hands and giant feet.”

… says Tina in Vogue Magazine

P.S.: Tina is looking quite skinny on that cover.

“I don’t try to live up to the standards of Hollywood or any of that,” she says. “I know that I’m different and I celebrate it. In a weird way, I kind of really, really love being the alien in the room. I dig it.”

… says Gabourey in Ebony Magazine.

Plus-size 26 year-old actress Gabourey Sidibe got a lot of positive reviews and loads of award nominations after her performance in “Precious” – here she is, sharing a bit of body image-related thoughts:

“I used to get hurt so badly. Any bit of criticism, I would cry. But at some point I just realized, I count more than anyone else, or anybody’s opinion, because I’m living my life — I’m captain of this ship, without a first mate. And I really, really like who I am. I really, really dig me.”

“There were no real times that I thought maybe I can do it until Mo’Nique came along,” She’s a plus-sized woman who didn’t care about one day being skinny. All my life I’ve been hearing that I’ll never amount to anything until I am skinny. And she disproved everything that everyone has ever told me.”

What do you think about her words?

Ugly Betty’s America Ferrera was spotted at “Save The Children” Benefit, held at Esquire SoHo, in New York City and she looked curvy & shapely in a little black dress on the red carpet.

Remember America at her heaviest a few years ago? No? Well then, here are some stills from her movie “Real Women Have Curves”:
