Ugh to both. Having said that, I've always understood that at a healthy weight a woman's ribs should be visible and easy to count. I'm not of the opinion that super skinny is something to aspire to, but as a naturally very petite woman I'm sure if the size zero myth really existed it would be easy to find clothes that actually fit.

I think it would have to depend in what context they were to be encountered...the larger lady would fit very comfortably into my kitchen, for instance, and give off a happy and homely air. The skinny one I'd be delighted to sit next to on a plane, but she'd irritate me very much if she suddenly appeared, all stick-insect-like in my kitchen, declining offers of cheese on toast.
Holy shit! Ribs!
ReplyDeleteThat cartoon looks just like me, except my hair is darker :-)
ReplyDeleteRibs - yes, revolting, eh, Bunny?
ReplyDeleteLike the cartoon - well, Nunyaa, if you are - what's the problem?
Neither.
ReplyDeleteI still think neither look appealing, but maybe they have a great personality which would change things!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see the fairy grandmother going places. Thanks for the appreciation.
ReplyDeleteI echo oestrebunny.
ReplyDeleteBut without the HS, yes, Ruthie? :)
ReplyDeleteYes, well we seem to be fairly agreed on this matter.

The larger lady looks happier.

ReplyDeleteHmmm - some interesting takes here.
