"Heidi Montag" can't say I have ever heard of her... or her two "new" friends

4. This is one hetero guy who HATES implants.

Next time you get 'em Heidi, have them inserted from the neck up.

5. A visit from the Montag Repairman might be in order

She's not unattractive -- not at all -- but those swellings are a little on the obvious side. It's her body, and it's up to her what she wants to do with it (and, for sure, if I loved her the modifications wouldn't turn me off), but it's kind of sad that this kind of thing is so staggeringly common. My ex works in a holistic health clinic in the Los Angeles area and tells me that most of the female clients she works with (a lot of dancers, singers, actresses, and other showbiz types) have implants.

6. Give that girl a ham sandwich or 4...

Lord she needs some meat on her bones. I wish girls would figure out the skeleton look is not sexy. I like them with curves. Take Catherine Zeta-Jones. Now that is a woman.

7. I like curves, too

And I like women who're less curved. In other words, it really doesn't matter to me, in the final analysis...indeed, the whole issue of physicality is a relatively minor part of attraction and, for sure, true love. Besides, even the least curvaceous women I've met are softer and rounder in most places than I am... :-)

More to the point, though, some women will always be slender, just as some will always be Rubenesque or several degrees beyond that on the voluptuousness scale. Yes, Hollywood and the like have forced an ideal on us that has serious consequences in women trying to emulate a body type that is just not sustainable for many women -- probably most women -- and many stars of pop culture are undoubtedly intentionally and unhealthily underweight, regardless of whether the cause is actual anorexia (or other eating disorder) or just a determination to cut calories beyond healthy levels to remain preternaturally skinny. I don't know if this young woman is naturally slender, and basically incapable of gaining weight (at least without potentially harmful changes in eating habits, extreme measures mirrored by women and men who are very overweight and go on extreme diets or opt for invasive surgery), or if she's consciously starving herself or afflicted with an eating disorder, but it's entirely possible that you could feed her platters filled with ham sandwiches and she won't gain a pound.

Making fun of or criticizing overweight people seems to be one of the remaining acceptable prejudice-driven hatreds, but it's true that criticizing 'underweight' or slender or even 'ideal weight' people is exactly the same. I know my mind's been boggled a few times here on DU by people who're significantly overweight scorning or making fun of people who are decidedly not overweight and totally failing to appreciate that they're perpetrating exactly the same kind of ugliness that overweight people are too often victims of. Irony, ignorance, and tackiness -- and sheer human ugliness -- cross the weight barrier.

Basically, telling someone who is slender or outright skinny that they should eat a sandwich is exactly as offensive as telling and overweight person that they need to back away from the buffet table.

8. Wikipedia said she had a nose job too.
