Go Kirstie Alley! She looks fantastic and healthy, unlike many of those skinny Hollywood-anorexic types.

QUOTE (Yahoo! News)
Actress Kirstie Alley hopes her much-publicised bikini reveal on pal Oprah Winfrey's talk show yesterday will prompt other voluptuous women to don beachwear in public.

The former Cheers star promised Winfrey last year she'd return to her show in a bikini after she lost 75 pounds of her 220-pound bulk - and she kept her promise.
Small Town Boy
She lost 75 pounds in weight before showing herself off in a bikini, thus reinforcing the stereotype that skinnier is better.
bluedave
That's exactly what I was thinking, STB.
Eleanor Rigby
At a weight of 145 lbs she's not promoting skinny, she's promoting a very average and healthy weight for most women.
Moonboot
75lbs from 220lbs hardly makes her skinny by any definition. But healthier, yes.
don_riina
Any blokes out there got the balls to call "bullshit" on this one? I've never seen any blokes sitting around watching Baywatch and say "Y'know, that pammy needs to gain about 300 pounds".
Wee Mun
If she had worn a bikini six months ago, she would have been harpooned. Now she has lost weight and is relatively proud of the achievement, she wears a bikini on Oprah. So what? She is promoting herself, nowt else! Hoping she might get a film offer without playing Orca's stunt double.

I didn't say skinny was good, but rather skinnier.
Grinner
I personally prefer the slimmer figure, but not adverse to the cuddlier figure.

The question is how big is too big, I suppose.

As far as I am concerned, if you have to turn the radio up to full when she sits on yer face, than thats too big. huh.gif

Quote of the week. Gold.

Gentlemen, you have been accused by the OP of being afraid of big women.

What do you have to say for your wussy selves?
Rus
Cuddlier is better. Especially when you're a big guy like me.
alanbail
Surely it depends on how many beers you got in ya. Go big or go home.
bluedave
I like women, full stop. tongue.gif

From Arthur the movie:

Fiance: Arthur, a good woman could make you stop drinking.
Arthur: She better be a big woman.

Bad joke. Alright Im outta here.
Johnny English
I actively dislike skinny myself. I dont think I am quite into the BBBBWWBB stuff or whatever, but I find skinny a total turnoff. But then I am kinda weird. I also dislike blonde. So blonde and skinny for me is yuck.

I believe she is trying to dare the men of Toytown into having a go with a big lass.

Cos if you're going to break a heart,
make sure that it's a fat girl's heart,
They're bigger.

I'm with you on the blonde thing JE. I usually chase darker hair women.
Grinner
Lets face it lads, at half past last orders, even the big babe and the ginger get a look-in. ph34r.gif

Johnny, big breasts pay your mortage therefore you are not exactly impartial.

There are horses for courses, some prefer this or that or whatever or a mixture. But saying that men that may not fancy you physically are afraid is rather offensive. I mean, ok, it might be possible, I own an axe, big knives, power tools and know how to use them all and apparently this can make people a little afraid, but it probably isn't the whole story now, is it? If I had decapitated heads in my hallway, that might scare them, but that would be reasonable.

I'm afraid of anyone who can win a fight simply by sitting down (on me).

When my woman starts getting a big larger (which of course happens from time to time like the flowing of the tides), she NEVER looks in the mirror and say "hmm, nope, not big enough". Seriously, never.
hams
Whatever floats your boat - but then you'd better reconsider if it's gonna sink! laugh.gif

You do the math.

you could probably say the same thing about a man and his penis DR. though the difference is society can easily see and judge a woman by her body size but a man, if he's got any sense, knows to keep it in his pants until the lights are off.

No way, it makes me soooo fancy you.

No, he only does that if he has a small penis.
Katrina
See? Due to Riina logic, I have a specialist market, it's small but relatively loyal.
Wee Mun
Kirstie Alley or Kirstie Alley during her Jo Brand era. laugh.gif
jml
does a man ever think, wow I have a small penis. or ask hey yo mate does this thong make my balls look small. and does he ever walk down the street to have some not so attractive drunk girl yell at him, he get your small cock out of the road? I really doubt it but hey Im wrong quite often.
bluedave
Being a fat ugly twat myself, i don't feel qualified to vote upon or grade whether a woman's weight or looks makes her shaggable or not. smile.gif

However, if you want to come round and take part in a private viewing i'll give it a go. wink.gif
jml
I saw the show yesterday, and she looked good. And just about every guy i know wouldnt actually say no to kirstie alley, besides the fact that she's attractive, intelligent, funny and loaded - relatively speaking - she was freaking in cheers. Hell, I'd probably hit that.

Yeah, of course, in fact there are 2 possible scenarios.
1 - he has a small penis
2 - you're really ill, or been swimming in a freezing lake, and you look down and your penis is all small. Its well funny.

Go to England, Essex perhaps. Feisty lot.

anyway, Kirstie Alley. I fancy her. Also, it would give me the chance to cook more.
Johnny English
Reminds me of a drunken discussion years ago with some mates about how much you would need to be paid to shag Norra Battie. My mate Richard said he would do it free 'cos it had "novelty value". Funny how expressions stick in your head sometimes.
Katrina
Well Don, it seemed entirely reasonable as a thing to say in Essex terms.
don_riina
Novelty Value is a great concept in sport sex. Helen Daniels from Neighbs would be mine.
Katrina
Helen Daniels is dead. There's sport don and there's just plain old wrong.
jml
How does a guy know if his penis is small though? I mean when does that realisation occur? Every girl has just about every magazine, billboard, and everything on the telly telling her that she is a short, fat, wrinkled, crookedy yellow toothed woman probably destined to be the last at the pub since its located next to a day care.

So seriously, hows a man to know the full measure of his penile inadequacies (sp) without the media in his face. I mean sure there's porn and all but you gotta have access to that kinda self realisation.
Eleanor Rigby
Some women just suit skinny and some women don't. Stick to your own body type, chances are if you're made to be voluptuous, you'll look terrible without boobs and hips and if you're made thin, the extra layers won't look good either.

Some women can get away with more weight than others. Generally speaking an hourglass or pear shape can hold more weight and still be and look healthier than an apple shape.
Johnny English
I wouldn't hit Dawn French however under the new "novelty rules" 'cos she is so NOT funny it winds me up.

trying to think of an appropriate curveball...

Faye Dunaway. She would still get it just for her role in The Thomas Crown Affair. She must be about 110 in the shade by now, but would still get a portion.

Edit: Date of Birth. 14 January 1941.

Every man has access to porn. Be it people like Jimbo who use their credit cards to get access to high quality porn on the net, or people like Jimbo who find old manky copies of Razzle in the woods, everyone has it.

when my mate got his drivers license he and some of the other boys were out joy riding and came across a big huge bag - it was a small road so they stopped to get it out of the way... turned out to be a gynormous bag of dirty porn magazines and some videos i think. they figure some woman chucked her guy's collection onto the road. one of them told me thats when he knew for sure god existed. biggrin.gif
Moonboot
been trying to find a picture of her in the bikini to post but can't find one!!! am sure she looked fab though!

Johnny English
We used to get the same stuff when I worked on the bins as a student. Houses getting emptied when people died and huge piles of porn to take away. In those days I was more interested in doing porn than reading it however.
jml
And more here.
Katrina
In my first student flat, we got a load of porn delivered to our flat. We didn't order it, the previous occupier did. His name? M. Kahn. Which was funny due to a TV show at the time with the motto: M Kahn is bent
He might well have been, it was pretty extreme stuff from Amsterdam.
Johnny English
I love reading stuff like that. It says she "tipped the scales" at 15 stone. Man if I was 15 stone my jeans would round my ankles.
hams
TBH her arms look really trim, but still a bit heavy on the thigh. Good on her though, I'd never have the guts to parade around in a bikini and high heels in front of millions regardless of body shape.
Moonboot
ta for the pics.
stumbled across this startling too-skinny story in the Sun.
