Well, I know a few girls who have said to me before "I wish I looked like her (when we were talking about Christina). She is so beautiful, and I'm huge and fat." These girls are thin already. It boggles my mind and it has always been something that really bothers me.
Agreed. True, these girls are around fifteen or a bit older, but are you saying that it doesn't matter if they feel this way if they are that young?
Not at all. I also know that there are PLENTY of young girls who think this way, I just think it's silly. Some of the worst damage can be done then, as the body and psyche are going through crucial development.
Agreed.

And of course nobody is saying that Christina Aguilera is how women should look, but obviously guys are looking at her and saying "Woah, she is so hot!", as some people on this board have done.
True, but when you put it like that, it kind of implies that it's somehow Christina's (or any girl in her place, for that matter) fault that guys think she's hot or that girls wanna look like her. I KNOW you're not saying that, but it comes off that way and that aint right. It's stupid to think that women who don't feel unsure about their body image (again teenagers) to latch onto this as a way to appeal to men. Of course they are self-conscious, but I'd rather they be self-conscious about something relatively harmless like zits than something that they falsely believe and can do some permenant damage to their bodies.
The first part of this paragraph kinda lost me. And as for older women, while it's true they don't compare themselves to Christina Aguilera, but they DO say things like "I'm fat" when they absolutely are not so. I should know, I live with a few.
(*I quoted this paragraph out of order because it goes with the paragraph before this about older women)Someone who is very close to me was bulemic a few years ago. Back then she was 6'1" and 108 pounds. THOSE are very depressing figures. It was hard to break her bad image of herself because, why?, she had been seeing herself like this since she was around, say, fourteen.
I see where you're coming from, I just have a hard time blaming skinny celebrities for all of it. I'm not completely sure if that's what you're doing here or not, but it kinda comes off that way.
Oh, and my appologies for bringing all this seriousness into the "Drooling over girls" thread.
Okay, for my money, she was MARGINALLY good looking, and WAY overrated as a singer. now she just looks like any crack whore I can drive across the river to East ST Louis and pick up for $10.

Personally I'm carrying a torch for the Sour Starbust girl. Mama MIA, did that guy pick the wrong time to eat candy.

O.K. If we're going with "commercial" girls. Anybody remember the Starburst commercial, fairly recently, where the girl takes a Starburst pops it in her mouth.
Then, smiling, pulls the wrapper out! *That* girl was just screaming hot! Something about the way she scrunched up her nose when she smiled.

Starburst can find the hottest chicks can't they? Remember the sequal where the goofy impressed guy tried to do the same trick to impress that girl? Admit it, we all woulda done it, and most of us woulda made an ass out of ourselves.

No...I've never seen the sequel...I'm assuming from your response that he failed miserably?
As for the Sour Starburst commercial, correct me if I'm wrong, but I got the feeling that the family was either Latin or Italian. If the commercial had stuck around for another 30 seconds, I suspect that man would have had a severe beating coming to him.

What about the girl from the regular Starburst commercial that put the entire thing in her mouth and pulled out the wrapper? That look on her face.. was about the sexiest look there is, IMO.
Utilizing the belief system and work ethic (Mattributes) of THE Matt Hardy to create a better life for yourself by fulfilling your goals and dreams. Mattitude is a quality that can help anyone -- regardless of background or past -- to achieve success. You just have to make it a lifestyle, a mindset, a religion. Mattitude, is something that can not be taught or learned. Mattitude is something that burns within. In the ring, Mattitude is the intangible, the x-factor, that gives me an advantage over everyone else.

Yes, they were Latino. As for the Starburst Wrapper commercial, that girl is extremely hot. As for the sequel, the goofy guy pops the starburst in his mouth, and pulls out the wrapper in the shape of an origami swan.

The commercial wasn't shown very often, probably because test markets prefered watching the girl rather than the guy.
With poison running through your veins, and death marching solemnly towards you, heroic acts become more of a necessity as you see your time dwindling.
Vanquishing your enemies, making amends to those you have wronged, and leaving words of love and kindness for those around you become second nature as your own mortality looms
However, true strength lies not in these last desperate acts, but in the actions of one who has to get out of bed the next day and face the consequences of doing that which you believe is right.
It took awhile for my friends to finally confince me that the Starburst wrapper girl isnt the cute Morman girl from MTV's The Real World from a couple seasons ago.

But yes, she's (they're) DAMN hot.
Actually, the cute Morman girl lives near here in Wisconsin. She's been on the local rock station's morning show a couple of times and seems like a genuinely nice girl.

Just to make sure you've got the right girl, it's Julie.
You say this is FUGLY?
Saying Julie is "fugly" is like saying Trish Stratus isn't Canadian. It just isn't true.
As for hot babe in a commercial,I would take Thora Birch but she is kinda a ringer on the hot babe thing,so i'll take the the the girl from the Sour Starburst commercial.
