Healthy-looking actresses


Yo, I'm watching this on TV right now, and it's shocking to see actresses that actually have an ounce or two of fat between their skin and their bones. They aren't overweight, just normal healthy-thin as opposed to the current fad of skeletal-thin. Even Julia Roberts! Crazy how things have changed...

Guess what else. NO tattoos on women, and the only thing pierced is ears.

Yes, us Southern Europeans (the women were portraying Portuguese-Americans) have no self-control, don't you know? We're all fatties who enjoy eating all the time, much like the African-American stereotypes...

I guess we should take after those ever-so disciplined WASPs (i.e. the majority of characters portrayed by the skinnier Julia Roberts) with their svelte, trim figures and sensible approach to food and exercise, right?
