if I was as fat as Marilyn monroe id kill myself

Thats what liz hurley said about Marilyn Monroe , monroe wore a british size 16 dress and was small I would imagine to say jane mansfield or lots of other pin-ups in the 1950s but today apparently shes so fat she should kill herself.

anyway I think monroe was one of the most sexy women who ever lived


would anyone prefer hurley over monroe or agree with her, what does this say about things today

Ya, she was a bit chunky, but that is a dumb thing for Hurley to say.

It doesn't say much of anything other than how people are willing to conform to what they find attractive as to not be outcast from the rest of society. Media portrays certain features, and if some men object to it, they are riddiculed by their peers and are called gay.

I have been called gay for saying that I didn't like Pamela Anderson, and Vida Guerra. I have told my peers that I don't like big butts, huge tits, and have said that some famous women have manly facial features, and to those that I told this to, pretty much shunned me from their group.

Everyone has their own views of what sexy is, and if anyone allows social pressures to bully your right to find certain features hot, then that just aint good.

 

if Hurley really said this, I wonder if she knows that Monroe did kill herself? Though not because of her dress size.

 

well i think she was murdered but its a nasty thing to say considering shes down as a suicide , she said it after winning some award she never retracted the statement either .

my mother was a beauty queen in the 1950s and she used to say people today seem to be trying to be sticks and it led to anorexia and ill health .

look at some pro ana sites then look at monroe or jane russell you could easy get someone who had a 50s sex goddess figure today thinking she was fat if all she did was look at stick people

 

There isn't anything wrong with Monroe size, and there is nothing wrong with Natalie portman or selma blair size. Being a "stick person" is only bad if being that way is unhealthy for you. Not all people that are thin are starving themselves; Some are just like that, naturally.

 

I always thought monroe was quite a slim lady! Have to admit i dont pay much attention to anything celebrity or past celebrity-like though. Still, i can picture her face, very beautiful

 

Id agree with that def zepplin , Im a stick naturally so i understand that not every stick is starving themselves .
but Ive met skinny women in hospital with anorexia and you cant convince them their skinny , and Ive met women who in my mothers day would be considered to have great figures who think their fat and Ive heard people call them fat .
I think the important thing is being healthy

 

I don't think Liz has covered herself in glory with that comment. Bit of a brainless thing to say really, and potentially very offensive to women of a larger size than her.

 

Hmmm shes thin obsessed, dumb and a celeb - im guessing a model or reality TV star...

My friends a size 16. shes wacky.

 

She deserves a slap on the arse with a paddle.

 

Ooooh i say!

 

wow, that is the most ignorant thing to say. i guess i'll have to go and kill myself now. i'm fatter than Marilyn Monroe was. :hang:

 

Did she actually say it and are we sure it wasn't ironic? Without knowing the context it'd be wrong to cast judgement

 

I remember the first time this went round... I doubt t'was ironic.

 

(oops, wrong thread)

 

what an asshole. i used to really like her, not her figure, though. i lean more towards marilyn than hurley, but i always thought hurley had a pretty face. now she's just another dumb twat.

 

Do you believe every conspiracy theory that's ever been invented?

 

I wonder if Norma Jean Baker would even get work in the movies nowadays, with ppl so size-obsessed?

 

of course. it's mainly women in hollywood who are so size-obsessed. i can think of a legion of men just in my acquaintance who would relish the return of a woman with enough body fat to have her OWN breasts instead of some installed.

 

The woman's body ideal has changed throughout the ages. Remember the full Renaissance paintings figure?

Marilyn is a very beautiful woman, but her size is a little too big for nowadays fashion standards, although there's this come back of a curvy figure.
