How the hell is it possible to look like this woman??

[Tangled59]

OK I qas having that Sunday sadness feeling and now I'm feeling casually pissed off and jealous because I went on FB and an ad popped up featuring this woman (Tammy Hemsomething apparently).

How is it possible to look like this?! What I mean is is this the result of just working out or what? But how can she get her body fat down so low for the waist, but not on her bum or tits?!

The floor level is different left and right. Look carefully.

Looks like a pear shaped who has starved herself and then got fake boobs.

It's not my cup of tea.

I've looked at her Instagram page, it's bloody awful but she does appear to have a very flat stomach, a big arse and a perky pair of fake boobs.

So probably not phitoshopped but vacuous narcissistic bollocks none the less

I see the 'You're just jealous' and "Women are their own worst enemy criticising other women" brigade are out in force.

Thing is, it's not like someone posted a photo of some random woman on the beach and we all started making fun of her. This woman (I don't know her name) chooses to post these photos (probably professional shots despite the pretend selfie thing) and she has chosen to market herself largely on the basis of her physical apperance. Therefore comments on her physical appearance - including negative ones - are entirely legitimate.

And I never really get this argument that women can't criticise or pass comment on other women. Do you think men don't do the same about men? Why is someone immune from criticism or comment just because she's a woman?

Yes Look at me in my underwear on the public stage of social media. Nobody is allowed to say anything other than You look great, it's judgmental don't you know.

but the nasty comments are not just about her appearance, are they. Posters have bitch about her family life, her intelligence, her priorities, god knows what, she has been called all sort of names by online bullies. I dont' want to repeat the vicious things that posters have came out with. The worst comments have thankfully been deleted.

It's not simply posters stating their opinion. It's just bitchiness, and if it's not down to jealousy, then what is it?

Regardless of photoshop, implants and whatever else, she clearly works out and eats a balanced diet that suits her fitness needs.

Yes agreed vicious comments about her intelligence or whatever are uncalled for. I was really referring to people speculating whether she'd had surgery, altered her photos and debating the whole selfie culture, even people saying they don't like the look she has created. Surely that can be discussed without people shouting Haters, you're jealous etc?

I find it alarming that people are assuming jealousy. Does this mean that they aspire to a figure like that and assume others do?
It's a very exaggerated extreme version of the female form. Almost a caricature and is the result of surgery and implants. It's a worrying trend. OP for example states that she sees that image and feels depressed despite being slim and fit herself.

I'd like all digitally altered photos online to be marked with a symbol. At least then we'd know whether we're looking at a real image or not!

I haven't seen many posts discussing her 'personality'. All the comments I've read have been based on her photos - you know, the ones she enthusiastically offers up on social media precisely so that we can comment on them.

It's not simply posters stating their opinion. It's just bitchiness, and if it's not down to jealousy, then what is it?

You can believe me or not, but I'm certainly not jealous of her figure. I don't even see it as desirable. As the above poster said, it looks cartoonish. I see lots of photos of women online and think, wow, she's got a fantastic body. But this? Honestly, no.

If you don't want people to comment on your appearance, maybe it's best not to actively promote your body on social media. It's really not compulsory.

She doesn't even look out of proportion if she's not twisting her waist and popping her hip.

I think she's got a lovely figure. I wouldn't have the discipline

and if it's not down to jealousy, then what is it?
Can you really not think there might be other reasons. Why does every criticism of someone female has to be because of jealousy. Could it not be because women who want to be defined for their bodies and nothing else sets a terrible example for our kids?

Hi all,
We've had lots of reports about this thread. We're ok with general discussion regarding the model's body shape but can we remind you this is about a real person and to please steer clear of personal attacks.
Thanks

It's very cartoonish.
I wouldn't say the overall effect is a fit and healthy body.
I'd say it's all about making the sexually desirable areas big (boobs and bum) and the rest as tiny as can be.
Anyone who's life revolves around taking photos of their own body I would say, does NOT have a healthy body confidence and is NOT a good role model.

*Whose.

I used to look this- it’s a lot of exercise, sunbeds, posing practice, abdominal control, eating little and often, flattering underwear and contortion. Surgery is optional. Hope this helps xx

@herbalteahippie sorry for the weird question but, Do you miss it? I’d imagine it’s a whole way of life but the results must be worth it.

Very few people are lucky enough to have their body fat specifically distributed only to their boobs and bum.

The "most desirable" beauty standards are always the ones that are hardest to achieve/least likely to occur naturally because it makes us more inclined to spend money to alter our look. Women's insecurity is a huge business!

She does look good and she may even look like that solely through hard work in the gym (although I think it may be gym + surgery + photoshop + flattering pose) but please keep in mind that there's more than one way to look good.

@BranLeuse she looks very different in that pic! And you're right, lovely.

Her baby is gorgeous.

I agree with this. The most depressing thing about this woman and the millions who follow her is the total obsession with appearance, fuelled I suppose by social media.

MN is absolutely full of threads about appearance. There are also a disproportionate number of posters who eat no carbs and do intensive exercise daily. IRL most of the people I know are slim and healthy but don't follow strict diets or do more than moderate exercise. It's not healthy to be obese but neither is it healthy to spend hours a day in the gym, cut out major food groups, fill your body with chemical fillers and implants or go under the knife to remove/add bits to your body.

My daughters are too young for Instagram but I will discourage them from using it. I would much rather they were interested in what people think than what they look like.

I think photo is real.
She was probably very slim to begin with, had embarked on bulking over a period of months to gain wait however stuck religiously to the gym & trained legs very very hard to achieve that bum she's got haha! (Of which I am jealous but not jealous enough to train that hard haha) her waist, after bulking she's probably cut (it is cutting season at the moment) it is quite easy to loose stomach fat if you know how to eat/train fasting 16:8 is another really easy way to loose excess stomach fat. Combine all that with I suspect a boob job, good lightening & a twist of the body & maybe a little Instagram overlay and there you go! :) plz don't hate on this girl it's not nice to body shame at any size

@XxXemma
Why is 16:8 specifically good for belly fat?

I don’t actually have an issue with people commenting on her appearance, as yes, she has put herself out there and she knows she will get positive and negative comments.

My issue is with posters who are judging book by its cover. Calling her dull and insulting her intelligence, that’s an appalling way to speak about a woman just based on one Instagram photo.

If posters spoke about an overweight woman’s photo in the same way there would be outrage about how there is more to a woman than her physical appearance. But that doesn’t seem to apply when that woman is skinny.

Is she very intelligent then?
