who has made a LOT of money by keeping herself in top shape. It is her (well compensated for doing almost nothing) JOB. Particularly as she ages and her expiration date (Its applicable in her profession, questionable outside of it) approaches its imperative that she look as good as possible, without regard to other considerations like her health. THats part of the job. Nobody is claiming its realistic for all new moms to be like her.

And I'm not sure where the connection is between electric thongs and toilet scrubbing- that seems like a red herring. What we really have here is bitterness between women, not yet another example of male tyranny. For what its worth, I didnt even bother to watch the silly "fashion show"- its totally lame.

I watched the first one of these VS specials, however many years ago that was. I haven't seen one since because, well, I've seen it already. I mean, it's pretty much the same thing every time, isn't it? If they want me to watch again they should jazz it up, add a new angle. Perhaps leaking to the media beforehand that one of the models will breath fire into the audience, setting alight half a dozen fashion magazine editors and at least one of the Olsen twins. It doesn't have to be spectacular pyrotechnics, of course, but it should be something. Give me something, for crying out loud! I'm not going to abandon a good basketball game for just anything, you know.

I must say, though, that parading Heidi Klum's new rugrat across the catwalk wouldn't cut the mustard. I know I'm being pandered to when I'm promised a show of nothing but supermodels strutting around in underwear. I know I'm being pandered to and INSULTED when they throw a kid into the mix. What am I supposed to do, wet myself at the sight of Heidi Klum's offspring? Unless this kid is actually a panda cub, that ain't gonna happen. A human infant, if it is not your own, isn't a terribly interesting sight -- even strapped to Heidi Klum's mostly-naked body.

And I really do wish we could -- once and for all -- dispense with the notion that supermodels are a threat to the average woman. They're not. I've never come across a male over the age of 20 who doesn't understand that supermodels are exceedingly rare and it is correspondingly unlikely that they will ever have sexual intercourse with one of them. That's why almost all men lust after supermodels, but marry ordinary women. Just as almost all women lust after a very handsome [but usually quite short] Hollywood actor, but marry an ordinary guy. I don't sit awake at night worrying that my wife lusts afer Brad Pitt. If she does, she does, but it doesn't mean Brad Pitt is a threat to my marriage.

So let's just get over that, shall we? And if you can't get over it, well, just blame yourself. Leave the supermodels and us ordinary guys out of it.

For Chrissakes, lighten up. Who gives a shit how fast Heidi Klum loses her baby weight? Some women lose it very quickly - particularly those paid to - and some more slowly and some not at all. That is between them and the mirror and if they choose to involve him or her, their partners. Heidi Klum is a grown woman who has given birth twice, not some anorexic starlet being idolized by tweenagers. Feel bad because her stomach is flatter than yours? That's your problem not hers.
