Is it just me, or…

November 25th, 2008

does this Rolling Stone cover seem way less about Britney than it does her body?

It’s very “Look at me! I once more conform to your standard of what a super-star desirable female should be! Here is my lean stomach to prove it!”

Between the skirt pulled down and the shirt pulled up, it’s like her flat stomach is the membership card to some club she wants back into.

Which, I guess it actually is. That fucking sucks.

Also, some magazine i was reading referred to her “weight problem” the other day. Now seriously, what do we think is the most a non-pregnant Britney ever weighed? 135? Tops?

I hate media.

    The real pisser of it all is that you can guarantee that the picture has been altered in photoshop - for the express purpose of making other women (especially women who’ve had kids) feel like crap.

    I watched a very interesting program a few weeks ago. Here’s a link to one part of it:

    This is just one of the many things that irritate me. I have no problem with making someone look great for a magazine cover, or for one of those portrait sessions you can go to - but let’s not all pretend that it’s real and cause people to try all sorts of things ot look like that.

    Hasn’t it always been more about her body than her singing? Seemed so to me anyway.

      thing called loving

      and the other feels nothing
      I would have done anything for you
      I still love you, baby I adore you
