7 gorgeous TV ladies (that look like they eat from time to time)
-
I was leafing through the newspapers today and I have to admit dear readers I got terribly annoyed. It seems to me that a while ago newspapers (you know proper newspapers!) have only flirted with tabloid trashiness. But now I guess due to (the dreaded word) recession they have embraced the trashiness full on.
So for example on any given day you will have a story how this-and-that actress lost a lot of weight and how skeletal she is looking.
On that same given day you will also read a story how this-and-that actress got a bit too chubby. Talk about mixed messages.And then I read a story about these little girls (as young as 10!) that model themselves as these actresses/singers/WAGs and have beauty treatments/sunbed sessions/save up for plastic surgery. Bloody hell when I was 10 I didn’t have a clue what a sunbed even was!
Now I do watch a lot of telly and I can understand why a child would get confused. Hell even I at my age (when I should definitely know better) look at my arse and think – hm yes it should be smaller. The reason I say I should know better is that I lost a lot of weight at one point. It was during my post-grad in a city that shall not be named and it was an imposed fast of a sort because the food just did not want to co-operate with my stomach (read – the food was awful). In less then a month poof 5 kilos were gone and with my regular size (10) that was very noticeable ( I went 2 dress sizes down by the end of my stay). I felt horrible.
You know regardless what magazines might say – it is ok to eat, it is ok to enjoy food. It is even ok to enjoy some junk food from time to time. The point of my rant is – lets celebrate the women that grace our tellies and look like they might not run away screaming from a piece of bread or a steaming plate of pasta.
America Ferrera – now there is a gorgeous girl if I ever saw one. She might don the bushy eyebrows and braces for her role as Ugly Betty and she might not be wafer thin but none can deny she is beautiful.
Katherine Heigl – she might be “seeing dead people” on Grey’s Anatomy as Izzie Stevens but Heigl totally rocks the blond bombshell look of the days gone by.
Christina Hendricks – while none can deny the brilliance that is Mad Men me thinks great number of men got hooked on the show precisely because of Christina Hendricks. Gorgeous or what?
Lisa Edelstein – now I might not be a big fan of Cuddy on House of late and I think who ever does her styling should be shot (will they ever, EVER get her in a piece of clothing that actually fits) but Lisa Edelstein looks fantastic for her age.
Vanessa Williams – there is no point denying the fact Vanessa Williams has been blessed with some wonderful genes. And there is no point denying she is absolutely stunning.
Katee Sackhoff – she truly rocked as Starbuck on one of my favorite shows ever. And she definitely isn’t your typical Hollywood starlet. Good on her I say.
Jenna Fischer – many know her as the mousy receptionist Pam on The Office, but as you can see Jenna Fischer is anything but mousy looking.
