Does the world really need to know that Britney Spears has cellulite on her ass?Did Bonnie Fuller need to print the evidence on the cover of Star magazine I don't mean to get on a rant celebrities/body image/etc. here, but Ms. Fuller, who is the editor of Star magazine, has had five children. You'd think she wouldn't use her pulpit to make having

When I was in Peru there was a celebrity glossy magazine similiar to People. They had a weekly feature in which they took a picture of some hot young skinny celebrity, located the single exposed spot on her body that was not absolutely perfect, and blew a detail of that spot up to about 500 percent so the readers could be appropiately horrified at the UNSIGHTLY FLAB. It was ridiculous and made me very glad to not be female and have to put up with shit like that.

It's too bad that the glossy magazine horror of UNSIGHTLY FLAB is international. I don't know about other women, but seeing some celebrity's imperfections does not make me feel better about my own - it just makes me wonder why the magazine bothered.

Man, I wish I would have known about that plastic surgery thing when I was still married to my first husband (he was a Marine). I wonder if they pay for gastric bypass, too?

[12th_of_never]

Hmmm. I bet they don't, unfortunately... but maybe with medicare paying for the surgery, now they will?

Well, you need cosmetic surgeons in the service to repair damage from fighting and accidents--- and it only makes sense that otherwise, they'd need practice. I'm glad they're out there, to be honest.

I was just surprised they do it for free.

[onmytiptoes]

Yeah, me too. Not to be crass, but I have to wonder... for soething like a breast "enhancement" (one that isn't related to trauma or breast cancer of otherwise restorative), do you think the military pays for the actual implants themselves, too? I have a friend who got that done, and she told me the implants themselves were really expensive.

I haven't read the article yet, but I'm wagering they do. I don't have a problem with the military footing the bill for plastic surgery from combat injuries or other medical problems.

I'm really shocked that cosmetic procedures are completely free to our nation's forces, though.

I'm not sure if I'll ever forgive Bonnie Fuller for destroying Glamour. Did you read that article in "Vanity Fair"?

[12th_of_never]

I did! It was quite interesting and I wonder what her future with the publishers of Star Magazine will hold.

I don't really hold any ill will toward the woman save for the fact she shouldn't be making cellulite a felony offense.

Were you a loyal Glamour reader? It was awful - she completely skanked it out.

[12th_of_never]

I agree with you. She did skank it out. Big time. However, I read Glamour now, and it's the only big circulation woman's glossy that prints articles in the neighborhood of being intelligent.
