Couple of weeks ago I bought Grazia, the weekly glossy which I consider is the best among the ones in offer and I must admit I was fairly disappointed at their cover story. They showed with great pride and as if it was a great accomplishment, how much weight Courtney Love has been able to shed in the last 3 months. Now, is this something to be proud about? I mean, I know she was a bit chubby in some not so recent pictures but making her the center story followed by the secrets of Posh Spice, Angelina Jolie and Cameron Diaz (at least she practices surfing!) is just ridiculous to me. It's BS. Fast and extreme weight loss can not be a positive message to any woman. Especially for a woman like Love, who is 5' 10.
There is all this debate going on about how girls are lured into being skinny, or not eating because of their fashion icons being so thin... and the first ones to endorse such attitudes are the women's glossies! I mean come on, aren't we on the same team here? Women magazines should be helping the Cause, not making it worst! Pure deception.
Do you think this looks nice:
I don't!!
