Usually I read what others write first, but...is Dickerson saying that this pin-up babe with the buff arms and slim waist is FAT? This reminds me of a great scene in "Vacation" when Ellen Griswold catches Clark in a pool with Christie Brinkley's character and asks "Clark, do you like that girl?" He sputteringly responds, "NO!--She's UGLY!"
See, it's hilarious because it's CHRISTIE BRINKLEY, but that is a comedy film and Debra Dickerson appears to be serious in calling this hottie FAT.
<<Obese is 30% or more over desirable weight. Buffie clearly fits this, and it has nothing to do with the relative dimensions of her bottom. She's not just fat - she's obese. It's not a personal judgement.>>
I, but, em, I--WHAT?? Firstly, the clinical measure is 20%--and I should know, because I am clinically obese.
Where is the fat? I cannot see the fat! Someone alert JLo and Beyonce that they are OBESE and must report to fat camp immediately.
