I can't stop thinking about a television show that I watched last night. There is a Brit show called “How to Look Good Naked”. It is a somewhat interesting show that basically tells chubby women how to wear pants that avoid muffin tops and that Spanx are a girls best friend…screw dieting and exercise, adore your curves is basically the concept. I had to cringe though as the Americans now have their own version hosted by that uber obnoxious, not to mention annoying guy from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Instead of the British show where the women are ‘real’ sizes (think US sizes 14+) the American show has women who are about a size 8 complaining about how fat they are and how unattractive they feel. Are you freakin’ kidding me?? Only in America.

Meanwhile the US (and UK) average is squished somewhere in between Elephant and Dinosaur. What do we expect though when the token 'plus size' girl on America's Next Top Model is smaller than 90% of the population?
Yeah that cracked me up re: ANTM too. Their 'plus size' model was a size 10 I believe. LOL re: somewhere between elephant and dinosaur though :P
