Hands up who thinks this is attractive??

[Maidamess]

bulging biceps

If I have a fit bod like Madge when I get to 50 I shall be blardy proud of myself and will not give a fly fluck what others fink I look like. To work at keeping a body in shape takes some doing, that doesn't mean though it is obsessive or wrong in some way to keep fit.

"I suppose none of you have problems with anoxeric fashion models either then?"

that was not the angle you appeared to be coming form, but good diversion. Irrelevant, but good.

calm down, people are getting wound up about it. you loonies.

madonna has a natural shape, it's probably only the last 100 years or so that women didn't have to look like that

right then please show me a photo of a 50 year old woman that you WOULD approve of as a Role Model so we have a proper Scale

yes, a nice non-freaky one (as defined by yourself kerrymum)

perhaps she will be in tweed

oh i do hope so

kerry i am aghast i really am. YOU saying another woman is a freak? what are you doing? why are you doing it?

she looks fucking strong to me.

Most runners don't have body fat either, I don't see lots of threads about those people.

Is it just the ones that are more famous that get slated then? Maybe it's just jealousy.

Honestly if she wants to look like that then who are we to judge? If a MNetter posted a pic of herself like that would we be all so quick to jump on her?

MP, what's with the 'yah' thing?

Also, could I please draw your attention to something for Roundup purposes: DaDaDa's posts of 22.22 and 23.23 (well, would you look at that) from this thread.

Ta.

bet you wouldn't call her a freak to her face

do you think that this is OK? more ok?

OI sophable was that me at the Christmas Meetup?

soph where DID you get that photo of me from?

Oh so women in the public eye have to be fat then?

kerry modern day obesity is not 'natural'

'natural' women, used to work in the fields. they had biceps.

damn you MP with your quick typing

yuck big fattie, i'd rather be toned like madonna. she's inspired me to get more fit actually tonight.

Thread explodes. Head explodes. House even messier.

Policywonk - BA Hons? Is this a new thing? Congrats if so!

mp you are neat and trim and you know it.

i'm totally at a loss about why a woman with muscley arms is a 'freak'

oooo the sisterhood is doing well innit.

blardy hell

good for you southeast, it's only inspired me to eat another cracker

monkeybird are you monkeytrousers and did you get a doctorate?

LOL AnotherFineMess - no, it's just because of the Ms/Miss/Mrs thread. But thanks!
