Facebookness Revisited

I feel like I need to go back and expand on some posts from last winter.

Take for instance my "Facebookness" post.

It's sad that celebrities have to defend themselves.

I'm definitely a fan of flippin' through US Weekly and checkin' out all the bodies

and I certainly have my opinions while doing so

but to publicly attack&harass someone on their facebook seems wild to me.

I think Miranda Lambert looks great.

I got sick of seeing her picture all over the place for her weightloss

but America loves a good comeback story, so it's no surprise.

I agree with her criticism of "the scale" and appreciate her emphasis on diet&exercise

instead of the pills&cleanses some celebs endorse.

I definitely get bogged down when I see "129lbs" when all I want is "119lbs"

but I know that it's about how I feel and confidence is key.

Secondly, I very irritated with the Tara Lynn rage

mostly because she's so not plus sized in my mind and so many praised her anyway.

And I think this cover was overly photoshopped cos she looks much bigger usually.

But also because of the ignorant things so many people say.

Like I said in my post about Miss USA:

It's sad that we cling to the "bigger" girls.

It's sad that we worship someone for not being thin.

Why do we have to pick a side to latch to at all?

(probably because the population of chubbos we've turned into needs an icon.)
