As a flat chested woman who LOVES it, I say "GO KEIRA"! I live in South Beach where nary a boob is un-reconstructed. It's refreshing to see a natural chest from time to time.
Shouldn't the story here be about how painfully and obviously anorexic* Ms Knightley is? I'm thinking it's hard to have a full chest when your body is running on fumes...
As my dear old departed pops would've said "She's not pretty, she looks like an upside down mop for god's sake!"
*well if not anorexic then suffering from some other eating disorder.
Yay for rare miniatures! I thank my lucky stars for them every day; if I didn't have these petite babies, I'd have such slammin' figure guys would be driven insane just by being within a 50-foot radius of me. Humanity is saved!
Remember the song "Detachable Penis" by King Missile? That would be kind of cool, to have detachable boobs that you could affix when you want to wear something low-cut and sexy, then take off again when you want to go running or when its really hot. I mean, there's padded bras and all that, but when there's not much there to begin with, it doesn't matter how much push-up action is going on.
You're a beatiful lady all by yourself.
Thanks, KitchenGirl. Detachable Penis.....
...who doesn't need any enhancement. She's perfect the way she is.
I just hope she doesn't really have an eating disorder.
Frankly, I like a wide range of womanly beauty, which Ms. Knightly falls comfortably within. B cups (which from my Y chromosome observation they appear to be) are quite fine on a woman of her build and appearance. Not that I have any problems with C's or D's either, but I would never dis the appearance of such a lovely member of the itty bitty titty committee.
She doesn't need to change a thing. Yes, Kiera's very thin but I'm pretty sure that's sheer good genetics. She looks like she has lost a little weight from Bend It but not much. Just a skinny, flat-chested gorgeous young woman who is obviously happy with herself. I just hope she stays that way. Hollywood is a killer (see: Meg Ryan and the poor girl from The Practice).
Knightley is as skinny as a stick. Few women that thin naturally have D-cups. So she's keeping it real!
Two thoughts:
1) Doesn't everyone have different preferences when it comes to physical attraction? Just as much props should go to Keira for looking good in a leather strap as go to Helen for busting out of a red bikini.
2) Keira's a star, I bet people will go to see the movie based upon their attraction to her performances regardless of how much cleavage she has in some poster.
This is true tale of tits with integrity.
But I remember, at least in Bend it Like Beckham, she had some junk in her trunk, slim long-waisted girl style. She's really small on the top; all of her womanly curves seem to be concentrated below the waist. I have quite a few friends with that body type and it can look really good. She certainly rocks it.
I will say I've never thoughtKeira was that beautiful, though. I always think its a shame that other girl from Bend it Like Beckham only gets to be on ER, when she's friggin drop dead gorgeous.
Is it just my eyes, or is her tummy also airbrushed in the American poster for "King Arthur"? It certainly looks like they flattened her tummy while enhancing her chest. When a woman as thin as Knightley needs to have her tummy airbrushed, maybe we ought to be questioning the images of beauty we're trying to sell.
...clouding the scan. Augmentation can also interfere with sensation and breast feeding, so it's a weird thing when a woman is augmented and some consider her to be more womanly, when she's less likely to enjoy sex, feed her kids, and live to raise them.
Likewise with starving oneself to seem "sexy." Such sexiness can close down reproductive potential.
We might as well go back to foot binding and dunking witches. We're not modern. We're primitives with shiny scalpels.
If bitch done eat a cheeseburger everyone once in a while, nobody need to be paintin' no fake tits on er!
What a role model! Can girls be proud of not getting their periods too?
To all the healthy, flat chested women out there, I mean no offense. But this chicks skinnier than a starving Ethiopian, and if you think thats simply genetics, you're living in your own magical dreamland.
Duh, dude. Yes there are people who are naturally skinny. Keira doesn't seem emaciated, just thin. I have a female friend who's actually thinner, and perfectly healthy with a very good appetite.
Don't just jump to conclusions.
You'd be amazed at the lengths some girls will go to hide it. But Keira displays some of the classic signs:
Sunken cheeks, eyes, temples
Protruding bones
Drastic weight loss (her weight has definitely fluctuated)
Family history of eating disorders
Overconcern with diet (she's talked about having a strict diet)
Don't feed the konservative troll.
And if Kiera did have an eating disorder (which she doesn't: if you look at most of her full-body pics, her physique actually has some decent toned muscle to it), then exactly how bulimic and manorexic must Ann Coulter be by comparison? Jeez, that supposed sexpot of Republicans is nothing but skin draped over a skeletal bag of bones...
Everyone is always saying shes anorexic. If she is, then I feel bad for her. I would never belittle her for it, or yell "eat a cheeseburger" at her, because if she truly is anorexic (and not a disordered eater, compulsive dieter, or 20-something overworked starlet who skips the craft service table) then she has a serious problem that can't be solved by "eating a cheeseburger."
Most television and film actresses are obsessive about their bodies. Some of them employ questionable dieting practices to stay at a certain weight; and a few of them take it to the extreme and are at serious risk of dying. A friend of mine works with a producer who is best buds with this actress(they used to work together on a show), who on occasion, has sprouted that downy fur and lost all of her hair because she doesn't eat. Ever.
This actress has other problems, though; her eating disorder predates her time in Hollywood. (Sorry about the blind itemness of this post, but oh well...I betcha people could make a pretty good guess about whom I speak. Of course, since it's third hand information you should take it with a grain of salt.)
In any case, through the magic of television, she doesn't look that much thinner than most Hollywood actresses. Which might be a little scary.
Whether or not Keira Knightly is like that is anyone's guess.
