Maybe that is the problem. We should outlaw clothing over size 12. :p

First, make women's clothing a standard size :D I can't even begin to tell you how many size 14 "6's" are running around.

damn, learn to put the burger down!

flappy arms... VeggieFrog calls them Bingo Wings.

There is a Bingo Hall in town and all the blue hairded old ladies go once a week to play. A lot of them have this huge hanging up fat flap that hangs so low, they look like mini wings.

So, she calls it Bingo Wings.

Great, and then you'd have a bunch of overweight naked women running around.

That would be poetic justice, no?

You might have to grandfather some fatties in and give a 1 year period to meet the requirements. I guess you could make one outfit legal for fatties. A prison uniform or something.

Man, a lot of hate in this thread.

For what its worth, I was at the ballgame today and was sort of disguested by the number of severely overweight people there. BUT, the way people are just dissing on "fatties" makes me uneasy. Knowing the demographic of ATOT, I wonder how many of the people posting are extremely skinny nerds who can't gain weight to save their life... "I eat crappy and don't gain any weight, so those fatties must just be disgusting slobs".

It doesn't work that way. :p

(Apparently some people believe 1950s cheesecake photos are NSFW. So be warned)

Hurley should off herself

ewww, chub alert

If you think that's chubby you have an EXTREMELY unhealthy view of what a woman's body should look like.

Agreed. That pic's hot.

But I also think Hurley is right; flab + tight clothes = BARF.

As much of a skinny b*tch that Elizabeth Hurley is in life, she's correct. There is nothing worse than a flabby girl wearing tight clothing, and yet they all think they look good in those clothes. Gah, makes me sick thinking about it.

in all honesty, she is right, albeit, not very tactful.
I try and wear things that are flattering, but not too slutty, unless wanted. I agree with her. Sure, women can wear ANYTHING they want, whether they look good in it is a different story.

Actually, there is a name for that. Those types of arms are called "Bye Bye Arms". When you wave bye bye, your flabs are still waving even though you're no longer waving with your hands.

She's absolutely right, there are girls in my classes that are HUGE and wear the tightest clothes, its absolutely disgusting. No one wants to see that.

More power to her for not being PC. Just because she's a famous actress doesn't mean she can't speak her mind. All those whiney b!tches that comlpained about her in that article need to lose some weight themselves. They claim to be "proud of it", if that were true, they wouldn't be so offended by her comments. Case closed.

I don't really care if it wasn't tactful. It shouldn't be difficult for people to purchase clothes that fit.

I know some of you will hate me for saying this...

hey, I agree with her. Yes it hurts people, but heck, enough about "being nice." People should be blunt with each other more often, ignore their own egos and improve themselves instead of being offended when someone calls them fat.

and goddamn, i'll be friggin honest, when I see a woman that's not fit, and attempts to wear revealling clothing, wtf was she thinking? Doesn't any not-so-ideal woman feel ashamed by wearing revealing clothing? First, it's an eyesore to the general public. Any woman who attempts that is doing a disservice to the general public. No one wants to see that seriously

I agree with Liz. Fat people shouldn't wear tight clothes.

The thing about Marilyn Monroe being a size 16? That's BS. Dress sizes have changed over the years. Marilyn would be about a size 10 today.
