Different chick. Here's what she had to say:

Quote:

Keira Knightley is furious because her breasts are always made bigger on American movie posters. The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star, who has always insisted she is happy with her modest assets, says she is sick of seeing herself on the front cover of magazines and in ads with digitally blown up boobs. She said: "I don't have any t**s, so I can't show cleavage. But you're not actually allowed to be on a magazine cover in the US without at least a C cup because it turns people off. "Apparently they have done market research and found that women want to see no less than a C cup on other women. Isn't that crazy? So they make my t**s bigger." The 21-year-old actress' chest was famously enlarged for the 'King Arthur' posters, in which she played Guinevere. Keira said: "Those things certainly weren't mine. I remember we had an interesting discussion when they said, 'We want to make them slightly larger and you'll get approval', and I was like. 'Okay, fine. I honestly don't give a s**t'."

Here are the pics...

WOW i think she looks beautiful in the original picture, her stomach looks normal and she has no boobs [who cares!] boobs are boobs! so why do they need to make her look soo different?

 

[aliciaz727]

cameran's after photo is completely different than her before (hips, legs, boobs, shoulders, arms....etc) only her face is real. I am shocked at what they do to enhance the photo. It confirms that nobody is perfect, especially eva longoria... makes ppl think that the whole hollywood weight-loss trend is bogus because the image they are trying to sell is only a product of photoshop enhancement, not really of dieting and hard work. this is sad because there are young girls (age 14!) out there who think these "photos" are real and they would go as far as plastic surgery to achieve that.

 

[Shimmer]

ahhh yes, that's right. I remember now.
Nice. :/

I love how nearly every thread started about beauty, celebrities or airbrushing ends up with the size 0 blah blah debate!

It does get old.

I posted the thread because the site made me feel happy! This was supposed to be a happy thread! Meh!

And really, the best you can do is to red pen that lack of the letter m in my post? Perhaps if your points were as good as your spelling you might have one.

The point of that post wasn't to complain about WetSeal like Shimmer complains about Walmart, but to point out that it was a crappy job that I didn't care about.

Quote:

I understand totally, sweetie. Doing a job anyone could do badly, and very few people can do well, is so very hard!

There is no incentive to do well at jobs like that, so why should I bother? I do an amazing job, i make min wage. I do as little work as possible, and I make min wage. Simply put, if you shop in a store that sells cheap clothing, expect to get poor service.

Quote:

But it also apparently gave you good fodder with which to carelessly insult a great number of women on a message board. So at least your time wasn't really wasted.

Perhaps if a great number of women on this message board retured the clothing to the racks where they found it, like a responsible adult, they would get better service.

Seriously, you can always tell who has worked retail, and who hasn't. Because people who have, are respectful of how they handle clothing in stores. Wheras the ones who leave the dressing rooms with clothes on the floor, and leave things on the table in a messy pile, have not.

 

[Shimmer]

Now you're making an assumption again. You're assuming that the people you offend don't put things up, and are rude to service personnel, etc., when in fact you don't know that, and could never prove it.

It is hypocritical when you go about it in the same way though. Do as I say, not as I do, stopped working on most people when they were children Shimmer. Especially when this whole thread started because you chose to be disrespectful to me.

Stones, glass houses, etc.

 

[Shimmer]

I wasn't disrespectful to you. I called you out on a complete line of BS.
Stones, glass houses, etc. is a really neat concept, except that when you trod intentionally on the toes of the people around you, and you get called on it, then you act all shocked, hurt, and shaken about it.
You want to flaunt convention and intentionally insult people? Don't be surprised when they tell you to cut the BS.
You want to act like a diva and make crass, overbearing, sweeping generalizations about people? Don't be surprised when you're called on it, and the error of your ways is pointed out.
That's not me, or anyone else, trying to dog pile you. That's just quite frankly people being tired of the crap.

If they put things up, then this post doesn't apply to them, so it really doesn't matter does it?

 

[Shimmer]

LOL I love it. You're poking a snake and wondering why it bit you. You didn't do anything, you just poked it right?

How did I poke it. Please. Show us.

If you look back in this thread, the FIRST, nasty post towards anyone, is post #23. Suprised? it's yours.

 

[Shimmer]

You've stated that your reading comprehension skills are above par, so...go back through the thread, read your posts, read the responses, and try, just try, some introspection.
I'm done with you. You post repetitively simply to get a rise out of the members of this site, and to cause drama and stir problems up. Nothing worth reading.

Thats obviously not a nasty post. In fact, it's repeated several times in this thread by various people. It's a true statement. Haveing hips, or not haveing them, doesn't make someone more or less attractive.

Or are you really going to argue with me on that.

Whether you look like J.Lo, Beyonce, or Posh.

That was a positive post too. So i'm proud of being thin. I didn't call anyone anything, I wasn't rude, and i was not disrespectful. In fact, I had a very positive message which you chose to INGORE.

With this post:

And, having an athletic body that's actually USEFUL for something besides being a clothes hanger is obviously not attractive.

Please. Was there any need for this? You know for a fact there wasn't. You poasted this specifically to cause drama.

And yes Shimmer, size 0 is where it's at, for me. Just because it's not for you, doesn't mean you needed to be volitile about it.

 

[Beauty Mark]

While I think it's really dumb it's veering off topic, the phrase "for me" is really all it needed. Since I personally don't know you and typed word can be misconstrued so easily, it's hard to tell if "size 0 is where it's at" means you think everyone should be that size or you're just happy with your size. Because I've had enough things misconstrued that I've even said that I'm either speaking about myself or speaking in generalities with exception to the rule.

In any case, Keira Knightly had a great point about the breast obsession, since that's what happened with a lot of those photos is you look in that area. I wouldn't have thought much about how flat she was if the two photos weren't posted by each other. It's funny how the women are the ones who want to see bigger breasts and not men, according to that survey.

It doesn't change the fact it was unnecessary.

 

[MxAxC-_ATTACK]

I mean hypocritical as how (as it's already been pointed out ) Someone said Eva Longoria (sp?) looked Rotten because she was lacking in the hip region,and "looked like a boy"

then someone came along and said " having/not having hips" doesn't make you any better than anyone else. and playfully joked that "size 0 is where its at" with a little smiley face following it . (I highly doubt I am the only one here who can Tell when someone is just trying to 'pull your chain', on the internet)
and after that everyone just threw their hands up in anger and started making rude comments about "Barfing up protein shakes" and " ruining the enamel on your teeth" which i found extremely offensive. Thats hypocritical... and it was also quite uncalled for,

Everyone is allowed to love their bodys , size 0 , or size 24.
