Protest For Body Sanity
Here’s a protest against insane definitions of “fat”, captured by photographer Jordan Matter:
Caption is:
I had a meeting with a casting director from LA. Without a glance at my headshot or resume, and not even a decent introduction, this stranger looks at me, all 5 feet and 2 inches, 125 pounds of me and says, “You need to lose twenty or gain thirty because where you are right now, I can’t do anything with you.” A bit thrown, but not wanting to be rude, I ask, “Can you elaborate on that?” To which she replied, “Your face says ingenue but it wouldn’t quite work, and I can’t put you as fat best friend because you’re not *exactly* fat.” — Katy, Broadway

This girl is simply gorgeous; she has the perfect figure with a very pretty face on top of it. She’s not fat, although some (many) other girls are too skinny.

Hmm, I agree. There are a lot of anorexic girls in hollywood, it’s such a shame that there is so much pressure for actors to be extremly thin and beautiful, and to enhance their figure with cosmetic sergury. Apart from the detrimental effects this has on society at large, obtaining a part should have nothing to do with looks anyway.

This world is really screwed up…what´s wrong with that girl? She´s really good looking-unlike those so-called super models: nothing more than heads on poles (like Chupa Chups.) I don´t know who invented the modern ideals of female beauty but they were sick. Seriously, some girls in my school have arms and legs that look like toothpicks. Ay Ay Ay….
