"Full-figured is just rude"? Get real!

      For those of you who don't have cable or watch TV, Christina Hendricks is a actress in her late 30s who has had a prominent role on the award winning TV drama Mad Men, set at a 1960s-era advertising agency for several years. She is known in Hollywood for her role on this show, her red hair (which I like) and her.....curvaceous figure. Okay, more specifically, for her rather large (allegedly natural) breasts. She has gotten much notice in the last 3-4 years those...assets, which cannot be totally....hidden no matter what she does. Earlier this year, a couple of photos were "leaked" that were allegedly of her bare breasts. She denied it, but I don't know.....lol. It is hard to disprove such without actually showing such, unless such occurs in a movie role. No such role is forthcoming, to my knowledge.
    More recently, she cut a interview short when the interviewer asked her about being a "inspiration to full-figured women." She ended the interview, saying "I think calling me full-figured is just rude". Really? So what should people say about your physique? Big-breasted? Big-boned? Top-heavy? Just talk about your hair? What would you prefer?
     Truth be told, I am a breast man. I also have always been more attracted to...fuller figured ladies. Fuller figured ladies are usually women who have more curves (as a whole) than most women, especially in the breasts and/or rear and/or hips/thigh areas. I have dated petite ladies too, in the distant past, but you prefer what you prefer. Many (if not most) of the women I know and/or are friends with are fuller-figured ladies, due to curves, weight, height and/or some combination of  the above. That is in addition to most of the women I have been and/or currently involved with romantically.
      Ms. Hendricks is a attractive woman, with or without her assets, but men (and certain women) will notice certain assets first, irregardless of anything else. Her reaction may be saying that she is offended by not recognizing her as a true actress first, which is understandable. If so, that is fair. But to get mad when told that  other (larger) women look up to her as a role model? That shows ignorance and lack of confidence on her part. We live in a country (and in a world) where, despite there being more women that are "larger" (meaning either having larger breasts and/or having larger....proportions elsewhere, like rear end and so on), virtually all TV shows, magazines and the like promote and seem to "prefer" petite women and often...diss larger ladies for no good reasons.
     Simply put, women who are (obviously) larger up top, whether naturally (as she claims) or due to artificial enhancement (which is another story for another blog), get a lot more attention than their smaller counterparts. Those who make sure to show a lot of cleavage all the time in public get even more attention. Ms. Hendricks does NOT needlessly show off such in her role (especially considering the era her show is in and the job she has), but she does show off a bit at other times.
     However, she carries a size where she cannot escape attention...notice no matter how much she tries to minimize things. She needs to have a thicker skin and realize that the paparazzi will work hard to catch her and her...assets in a exposed moment at any time. She also should realize that she is a rarity in TV (and movies) as well and not diss women due to her discomfort with her celebrity. If the attention bothers her that much, get a breast reduction down to a A or B-cup and never wear anything revealing in public. That would solve that (for the most part). Otherwise, chill out, Ms. Hendricks! Being full-figured is NOT rude! Those who diss those who are such IS rude!
