Umm yeah. She’s so full-figured.

Anna Friel may have landed a plum role on a hit US television drama, but she has no intention of losing weight to conform to Hollywood’s super-slim ideal.
The headstrong British actress is now based in Los Angeles where she has filmed quirky TV drama Pushing Daisies since 2006.
The former Brookside star credits the healthy diet of her formative years with her determination to maintain her natural body weight.
Yeah. She’s the fucking poster child for full-figured women. Look at her there, all… non-skeletal.
In the meantime we’ve got Eva Longoria crucified for gaining SEVEN WHOLE POUNDS, with one of her co-stars calling her “fat” at a size zero. We’ve got Madonna, who weighs about 32 ropey pounds, being called “a piece of gristle” in the bedroom, because she’s too skinny. We’ve got Faith Hill photoshopped into oblivion on the cover of Shape magazine, with a headline trumpeting how she’s in a bikini at 41! Practically in the nursing home and still in a bikini! After three kids! And a few hours with Photoshop!
Too fat! Too skinny! Too ropey! Gained too much! Lost too much! Works out too much! Had *gasp!* plastic surgery (cheater!) Spends too much time in the gym! Doesn’t spend enough time in the gym!
Don’t you understand, females? Your bodies BELONG TO THE PUBLIC! Stop assuming you have the right to live your life. You’re on stage, you’re on show, you’re on notice. Conform to the ever-changing ideal of perfection or be ruthlessly critiqued! (But honestly, it doesn’t matter, we’ll rip you to shreds no matter what you do. Especially if you leave the house w/o makeup.)
I hate the whole world, for serious.

I want to know when they are planning on having one of those best- and worst-dressed things for men. Oh, wait. They’re all wearing the same tux. Never mind.
