Thoughts on Victoria Beckham?

[bamawife]

I am curious to know if any of you saw the article about Victoria Beckham regarding her body. She said she works out 7 days a week so her body can be "perfect" and that she does not need any airbrushing done of her pictures because of it?? I think the woman needs to put on some weight, personally. It is so sad that young girls and women see her in the magazines and on the internet and feel like she is the epitome of health and looks. It actually disgusts me for her to feel that her body is so perfect....that is really sending the wrong message to all young women. I do not want this to become a debate....please. Just curious as to what you all think about it??

I really don't look up to her in any way she looks to skinny to me and just not healthy. I think she is sending the wrong message to herself because i really don't ever hear anyone say "oh she looks good" or anything usually it is all negative because she looks sickly.

Men dont think that she is hot, but if you put kim kardashian (sp?) and all those natural looking girls with curves they go crazy! men still like their girls to have some meat on their bones...lol but I agree with her sending the wrong message....

No shape, built like a boy. She looks anorexic. Good thing she has sons, because I would feel sorry for a girl child in that house. In the medical field, we would call her emaciated.

[shoefiend]

I agree, she totally looks unhealthy and anorexic! Just skin, bones, and veins sticking out. Not attractive what so ever!

[bamawife]

I agree with all of you. Its just scarey because she does all of those print ads and is publicizing that she is "perfect" when in fact the woman is sick. Thank you all for not letting this turn in to a debate!

Kim Kardashian is smokin hot. I also like Jennifer Lopez, etc.

I don't think there is anything that pretty about VB. I agree that it sends the wrong message and it's a shame that the media doesn't pull the plug on such nonsense.

[Jimswife]

Her body is unrealistic for many to obtain. I know myself that have a larger frame, I could never be that small, nor would I want to be, I like my curves, just want them smaller

[sosassafrass]

as Lois Griffin said to Kate Moss on Family Guy...."you've done well for yourself with no breasts"

all jokes aside...yeah, she looks rather sickly and gaunt, unfortunately a lot of young girls and not so young girls are bombarded with these types of images and it does a number to their self-esteem and worth...if she's doing it the right way and she's just naturally petite....ok, but if she's promoting an unhealthy lifestyle...then i have a problem.

I just don't want women and girls to try to achieve that look at the expense of their health or let's be honest...their lives.

There is nothing womanly about Victoria Beckham's figure. Way to thin, way to frail. She looks HUNGRY. Poor thing needs a few meals. She is not a role model at all for young girls with developing bodies.
It has to start at home with teaching and empowering our girls to know that thier bodies are beautiful at any size. giving them the confidence that they dont have to look like Lindsey Lohan or Victoria Beckam to be popular. Its all about you attitude and the way you carry yourself. I come from a family of FULL Figured woman, and Ive always been told that you are beautiful at any size. If you carry yourself like you are the next best thing since sliced bread, then people with think it as well
Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Jordan Sparks, Jennifer Lopez, all have womanly shapes and they are absolutely stunning. I bet any man would chose them over VB anyday. No man wants a bag of bones.

[ethansmommy23]

i think vb is "perfect" by hollywood's standards.. i mean lets face it jessica simpson who i think is SMOKIN' HOT gets up to a size six and they pretty much want to send her to the fat farm! i think vb is pretty i guess in kind of a fashionable diva-ish kind of way though a cheeseburger would do her some good.. i don't think old age is going to be kind to her though..

totally off subject but she seriously has what I would consider my IDEAL body (kim kardashian) i'd by no means want to lose my feminine curves- just the jiggles that are attached to them lol. but now VB is TOO thin. Nothing cute about her but her husband. all bones- that's not cute.

[AirsoftWidow]

Lol, my husband drools over Beyonce.

[nikkiiipurple]

VB is NOT a good role model for anyone. Honestly...her legs look as though they could snap at any moment. She does not look real. I hope that most people will know that her look is not something that comes easily. She must work at it every waking moment of every day. For all the women out there struggling with their weight it is enough to embark on this journey. Your goals are your own whatever they may be. And when YOU are happy with the way you look and the amount you have lost, YOU become a "Super Star" in my eyes.

Mine too! Too funny

BTW: I see you updated your weight loss ticker - 5.4 lbs lost in a week! WTG! Now we can do the happy dance together

[Sus65]

I don't think she looks healthy. Is it me, or does she always look unhappy? Give the lady a plate of spaghetti and a tall glass of milk, please!

i wholeheartedly agree with that....

i don't want that look, from the neck down you look like a hot 22 year old, but from the neck up...you look like Skeletor from the Masters of the Universe with that turkey waddle neck.

[plagenurse84]

Give me JLo's body over Posh Spice any day.

[sosassafrass]

For me....give me a body like one of the Williams sisters...Venus or Serena, i'm not picky. They'd have to keep me from being half or completely naked all the time.

[miss_alysha21]

i agree with plagenurse84. jlo any day. vb looks disgusting. my fiance hates skinny girls and most men that i know do too. they like curves in all the right places, not girls that look sick

[Jimswife]

Curves are just sexy, what can you do with a stick? Her collarbone sticks out and I just want to feed her. She looks like one of the Olson twins. I'm sure she feels pressure because her husband is famous and handsome, but she has gone too far, I think even by Hollywood standards, because you don't really see anyone knocking down her door offering print ads or roles in anything. Sad thing is, she has a very pretty face.

[OOlala]

Victoria Beckham is hideous.. her boobs scare the hell out of me!

[Fat Boy]

It’s an interesting discussion. I have seen many TV-stories about young girls who starved themselves to death because they wanted to look like a skinny celebrity. I don’t mean Victoria Beckham. There are many other actresses and models that have bones without any meat. Unfortunately it’s the problem of 21st century. Shining magazines, bright commercials dictate a new fashion style. Young girls can’t understand that being too skinny is really unhealthy. As we can’t explain this to magazines’ editors, I think that only parents can talk to their kids and convince them that Hollywood standards can’t make a woman look perfect.

[OOlala]

Well on a positive note about fat. Your body stores toxins in fat...if you don't have any or too little it stores toxins in your organs which leads to organ failure. So it does serve some other purpose besides pissing us off :P
