George W. Bush is coming to the UK... and we'll be waiting for him.

Read the post - watch the video.

I beg to differ.
SJH calls this
an odd, odd piece of television. The creator and judge of America’s Next Top Model protesting at accusations she’s put on weight, whilst simultaneously claiming to think that ‘curvy women’ are ’sexy’. The sentiment is very good, but the hypocrisy stinks: If curvy is sexy, then why is she so ‘humiliated’ by the idea of being curvy herself? She surely can’t have it both ways. She criticises others’ obsession with weight, yet knows her own exact weight from over two months ago. She says she’s no longer a model, yet shows pictures from her swimsuit shoot. She says perfection is unrealistic, yet admits that she has her photos retouched. It’s all just hot air.


She is humiliated because she has been mis-represented. Would you like bad photo's of you spread world wide if you had an international reputation to keep up?
The sentiment is honest, in my opinion.
As for her involvement in America’s Next Top Model. I cannot comment because I've never watched it, nor do I want to (before I get links to Youtube), but did she only vote for Size Zero models?
If she did, then I will defer. I'm guessing not.
