I know I haven’t been updating much, but my comp is once again out of service >.< And they is a craft blog, but I’m pissed off.

I know everyone always talks about how the media effects people’s, especially women’s self-esteem, and most people don’t want to hear it again, but it’s my blog and I need to rant. I’ve just spent the whole day at a check stand with a People’s magazine staring me in the face.

Now normally I don’t have an issue with People, but this issue just irritated me. I know nothing of the article other than Bertinelli wants to lose weight and all. But if you look at the cover it shows her 27 years ago and her now and in all honesty I thought she was in her 20s and in that horribly baggy shirt just makes her look so much more overweight than she is. It just makes is seem like one of those ‘You need to look like this not this… oh and btw we went out of our way to make her look bigger with this baggy tee shirt. Nevermind that she looks in her 2os when she is 47 and completely adorable’

I do realize she is a bit overweight and that it’s her who wants to lose the weight. I just don’t like the cover. I think it sends the wrong message.  Especially with a history as a dancer and having wide hips and busty. None of the other ballerinas were as big as me and no matter how hard I tried I could never be as skinny or ‘perfect’
