So... size 16/18 celebs like Vanessa Feltz and Mica Paris claim to be thinner than they are and size 2 celebs like Anna Friel are proud of their curves If by that, she means she is slightly more rounded than an ironing board, then I agree. But only just.

CURVES MY ARSE. These celebs mix up 'boobs' with 'curves'

I posted a comment about this on the DM website. Some of it got published (the nice bit about Anna). They deleted my rant observation about the DM's obsession with the size of sleb women and how it's neither newsworthy nor terribly interesting

She'd fall through the bloody floorboards if she was any thinner. Did you see her on Jonathon Ross in those spray-on leggings fgs? She's tiny!

I reckon the stance may have something to do with the fact that she's wearing skyscraper heels in a field.

My name is MidnightExpress adn I too am a Daily Mail sleb pages junkie.

IMO when any magazine mentions "curves" what they mean is "we are being nice about women's bodies for 5 seconds - whatever they actually look like - and in 5 seconds' time the very same slebs will be plastered across the cover to be labelled too fat or too skinny".

I think its the dress that has shape, not her.

She really should have a bra on.

bleh · 27/07/2009 14:15

She barely has boobs! What is she on about "curves". Stupid bint.

muffle · 27/07/2009 14:16

The madonna arms one has the same sneery tone.

But I had to laugh at the Gunter Von Hagens comparison - now that was a classy touch.

filchthemildmanneredjanitor · 27/07/2009 14:19

she does look very thin o those pictures
i think that she is gorgeus though-really sexy. if i were a bloke or a gay woman then she would be my pin up of choice.

Rindercella · 27/07/2009 14:24

I have practiced my mantra of "do not click on DM links" over & over, but today I feel weak and vulnerable and so I lapsed.

midnightexpress · 27/07/2009 14:28

'her protruding muscles and thick bulging veins were clearly visible through her ageing and wrinkled skin.'

What. The. Fuck?? Has someone fed the journo a thesaurus for breakfast?

I was strangely drawn to the Amanda Holden/Myleene air kiss.

SoupDragon · 27/07/2009 14:30

I got sidetracked by Madonna's arms

pseudoname · 27/07/2009 14:31

she looks gaunt. that amount of thin or as she calls it, curves, does not look good on her at all. those shoes + dress = pathetic. dress looks like it was made up out of a damask curtain from the Addams Family Mansion.

SoupDragon · 27/07/2009 14:31

And twiggy

SoupDragon · 27/07/2009 14:33

I wouldn't say Anna F is gaunt. Not curvy but she's not skeletal, unlike some.

SoupDragon · 27/07/2009 14:35

This is gaunt.

someone please drag me away from that shite!

TheCrackFox · 27/07/2009 14:40

Goodness me, Madonna's arms are scary. Someone give her a cardigan.

noddyholder · 27/07/2009 15:01

Lovely dress She is slim with boobs and hips she is young too which helps!

pofacedandproud · 27/07/2009 15:07

There is a funny bit in Lost In Translation where the couple meet a young actress and she says that everyone thinks she is anorexic, but she isn't she eats loads, and loads of junk food, and that kind of sums up how actresses are supposed to present themselves nowadays. Be very thin, but pretend you 'love your curves' and eat 'three bowls of pasta for supper' that kind of thing.

VB looks so pretty when her hair is short and she's paler

The mucked up thing is that she probably does think she needs to defend her curves. She probably thinks she's fat now I think about it.

The world has gone mad.

These DM pages are an eye-opener though - so much to say, so little to tell. Why is VD wearing her hair like that though? And she looks miserable too. They're so thin, so rich, so miserable AND they probably all think they're fat too.

If you can an invite to the international cartier day whatsit, don't attend. It looks like a minefield of body dysmorphia and not being able to talk, AND having your drink served by someone upside down inside a light fitting.

yespecan · 27/07/2009 17:11

Oh and VB is miserable, and you can't walk at the cartier international whosit hoe-down. You can't walk in those crazy shoes on grass. Which is why AF is doing the weird gazelle bendy thing with her legs. I guess.
