Nicole Eggert Is Back In Baywatch



I never used to watch "Baywatch", yet I do remember Nicole Eggert being kinda hot back in the day. But if the point of this is to remind us about our obsession with thin women, I think that it's the gay, white men who run the professional modeling industry that this skit would best serve. But then this bit of news is a good start too.

PETA Takes Aim At Fat Women With "Save The Whales" Ad Campaign


HuffPo.com:

PETA's new billboard campaign in Florida is raising eyebrows and ire among women and health groups. A drawing on billboards in Jacksonville depicts an obese woman with the phrase, "Save The Whales, Lose The Blubber: Go Vegetarian."

In a press release, PETA stated:

A new PETA billboard campaign that was just launched in Jacksonville reminds people who are struggling to lose weight -- and who want to have enough energy to chase a beach ball -- that going vegetarian can be an effective way to shed those extra pounds that keep them from looking good in a bikini. [....]


Anyone wishing to achieve a hot "beach bod" is reminded that studies show that vegetarians are, on average, about 10 to 20 pounds lighter than meat-eaters. [...]

"Trying to hide your thunder thighs and balloon belly is no day at the beach," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "PETA has a free 'Vegetarian Starter Kit' for people who want to lose pounds while eating as much as they like.

Jessica at Feministing blasts the billboard as "fat-shaming" and that "PETA owes the residents of Jacksonville a serious apology."

Holly at Deceiver states, "This is exactly what you would expect [from PETA] -- no empathy for humans whatsoever, just a lot of B.S. about how vegetarianism will make fat people just a little bit less of a blight on humanity."

PETA is known for its attention-grabbing tactics involving scantily clad-women, like this veggie dog eat-in on Capitol Hill that involved playboy playmates wearing only lettuce bikinis.

Of course to the shallow, elitist, white liberal crowd, anything over 120lbs. on a woman is considered "fat"--just look at the stick figures who get the major fashion magazine covers. Regardless PETA once again shows itself to be a disgrace pulling a stunt like this.

FOX Doing Dating Show For Dudes Who Love "Fat" Women


EW.com:
A new Fox reality dating show, titled More to Love, has began casting its "average-looking" contestants, according to The Hollywood Reporter. With a format similar to The Bachelor (Bachelor exec producer Mike Fleiss is teaming up with Mike Darnell, Fox's president of alternative programming, on the series),the contestants will vie for one man, who is being labeled as a "Kevin James type," by going on lavish dates.

One new category being added to the mix: makeovers... but not of the physical kind. "We want to send the message that you can be the size you are and still be lovable," Fleiss told
THR. "We aren't going to thin these girls down so they can find love -- that's a backwards message." Adds Darnell, "For six years it's been skinny-minis and good-looking bachelors, and that's not what the dating world looks like." No air date for the series has been set.
Hey, in a society obsessed with looks and size-2, airhead pin-up dolls, I say it's about time a dating show like this was born. The average woman wears a size 14 dress, yet liberal Hollywood, for all their claims to be "tolerant", rarely, if ever, showcases big girls (unless they're rich, leftwing, lunatics Oprah or Rosie O'Donnell). Besides that, I'm sick of always having to look at these anorexic, bulimia-suffering "models" on TV all the time (being able to see your ribs from the outside is not "average"). Shoot, I'll take one of those chicks in that "average women" Dove ad over Angelina Jolie or Jessica Alba any day of the week.

Chloe Marshall Quote of the Day!


"It's what I was born to do – posing for the camera. And as I keep saying, I love my body. People seem desperate to get me to say that I don't, that deep down I'm not happy and would rather be thin, but the fact is I wouldn't change myself at all. Do I have fat days? Of course, but what woman doesn't! I'm a size 16, I eat well, I exercise regularly – I jog, swim, and work out with weights. What I am promoting is a healthy girl who looks after herself and doesn't try to force her body to be something its not
