The body police will be right there: Time’s Golden Globe Fashion feature

Golden Globes Fashion: Five Who Looked Fat — 5 Who Looked Fit and Fabulous, written by someone who, given the title of her book, must be a body acceptance activist: Charla Krupp, author of How to Never Look Fat Again.

I am not going to link to the photos because I feel dirty just associating these women with such headline. Time has taken body policing to a new level of inanity. Now, it is not just about being fat, it is also about looking fat.

I must confess, I might have some eyesight problems because none of these women looked remotely fat to me.

  8. mamafratelli said: Ugh. The “(Even Though They Aren’t)” ticks me off, too. Red flag of ugh. But even getting to the “Fit” folks - saying Jane Fonda looked great “[e]ven with breast cancer and a hip replacement.” UGH. That rubs me the wrong way.
