Isnt it odd how you lok back at the Spice Girls and how fat they look? and now you see Posh struggling to stay upright in a breeze, she's so thin.
I don't know what size i am, cos there's no legal definition of sizes. Which is strange. I think Women are under pressure to be thin but i dont think its all the media's fault. Although all these headlines like 'SKINNY SHAME!' 'EAT SOMETHIN, LOVE!' and then on the other side 'FUCK IT, I'M AVIN A MEAL!' and then really unflattering photos where everything isn't staged and airbrushed and these people just look normal and not the skinniness we all seem to associate with glamour.
I think people should be healthy and with a proper BMI and everything, but i also think if you're a size 20 or 4, you're probably not happy.
Also i think steps should be taken to seperate 'skinny' and 'rich' or 'successful' or 'desirable' in our minds. A case in point here is Girls Aloud. When they first were on whatever they were on they looked completely normal. Then suddenly they went down 2 dress sizes and became 'successful'.
As an indie muso girl, i reckon its also difficult cos so many musicians are on the thin side too. Like the lovely Patrick Wolf, who i adore but who's definatly not fat, and all the new rave scene and basically everyone in a band during the past 2 years. This excludes 'fat rake', the Futureheads and Beth Ditto.
