I just have a hang-up on big beefy blonds.  I like her too… well, until I heard her voice.  But I’m sure I’d get over that real quick if I happened to be in the same room she was.

*Gasps*

PS:  Baditude41:  Is your middle name 'danger'?  HAD to ask…  hahaha

Her voice is a sad reflection of the state of pro female bodybuilding.

Oh blimey Alex – it'll take me a long while to get used to your new avatar.  I've never known you to have anything other than your previous one.

I only learned about that sort of thing recently.  I couldn't understand why such thin physiques were the "in thing", so I decided to educate myself via the internet.  I read articles and opinions on the subject, and am now more knowledgeable, although it still doesn't make complete sense to me.  Certainly, if a muscular physique is not desireable to or attainable for a woman, then the curvy, voluptuous shape would, to me, be by far the most preferable alternative. 🙂

Yea, she would be the kind of girl I’d be proud to take her home to meet the parents.  Ahhh, a girl can dream, can’t she?  😉

Peace and Love,

A boy can dream as well… 😉 8)

It’s getting to be the norm for most of these celebrity chicks these days.  When I was younger, I used to struggle with my weight and my overall image.  It’s unfortunately an affliction that we girls have to learn to adapt to and manage, especially here in the states.  Thankfully, I overcame that hang-up when I was in my mid to late 20’s and (thankfully) embraced my natural curvy Spanish heritage.  Once that happened, my entire life changed for the better. 

I’ve always believed that nature meant to give us girls curves.  No boy or girl is EVER attracted to skeletons or boney women.  I don’t care who they are, women are NOT MEANT to be so terribly thin. 

Just my $.02 worth, I could be wrong.  :-

Was my assessment in response to Baditude accurate, Mimi?

[cpbell0033944]

I agree…I don't know why either.  I'm a firm believer in women being shapely, curvy, and voluptuous.  When did that become so horrible.  It's a crime I tell ya'…A CRIME!! :'(

The point is, they're not doing it for straight men.  It started in the haute couture world, where most of the designers are gay guys, who therefore naturally tended to favour a teenage boy-like, gawky figure.  In addition, I have read suggestions that the designer's dresses can be better displayed on skinny models.  From there, it entered the glamour world of celebrities and magazines, whereupon teenage girls and young women saw it as being chic and glamourous.  The sort of girls that read those magazines are interested in living a glamourous lifestyle; therefore they aspire to that style.  Finally, the competition factor must be considered.  Guys in a gym compare muscles, guys in business compare salaries and bonuses, so these women compare how skinny they are.  It's like the clothes of 17th-Century aristocrats: the fact that they were impractical advertised the fact that they were rich enough not to have to work.  Similarly, being skinny advertises how sophisticated and glamourous these girls (and they are girls: real women don't do that to themselves) think they are.

Congratulations on your milestone!

Oh dear, not good. :'(

The Churchill quote wasn't a joke, actually.  He used "jaw-jaw" to mean diplomatic efforts because it formed a rhyming couplet with the word "war" – hence it means "Better to solve problems by talking than by waging war."

Bodybuilding might be ignored, but ESPN and ESPN2 routinely cover the strong men and women competions under the title World's Strongest Man / Strongest Woman contests.  8)

I must admit my suggestion to Cindy was partly selfish – after all, who amongst us wouldn't want to see her competing against the gorgeous Kara Mann?
Oh, and Baditude – I'm glad to have been of some help. 😉
