We see women everyday that we wish we were as thin as, as blonde as, as tall as. We wish we had their hair style, we wish we had those shoes, that shirt, or that fantastic dress. We wish we had a killer body to rock it all with.



The reality of this world is that there are only so many lucky "tall, blonde, Amazonian" and so many "tall, dark, handsome" men.

In this interview, the second in my series, we're going to hear real answers to real questions about how the media affects even a skinny girl. Read on for the story of a woman who could give any Lauren Conrad a run for her money.

Q: How does the media effect your self esteem as a skinny girl?
A: More negatively than postively. While there are positives, the media CONSTANTLY shows incredibly skinny women who they tell me I need to look like. I'd rather just be myself, whether they like it or not.

Q: Tell me what kind of girls you see on television. Through the makeup and special effects, can you ever really see the real world flaws these women and men have?
A: Unfortunately no. They may play the "Average" girl on whatever show they're on, but they really struggle to bring any realism to the scenes.

Q: How would you fix the media's negative imaging if you were in charge?
A: I'd put some more 'normal' women in shows. Average boob size, average weight, etc.

Q: Concerning self esteem; you're cute, skinny, and talented. You're also fairly petite, with dark hair and eyes. Do all the images of tall, blonde, and blue eyed girls ever get to you?
A: Surprisingly, yes.

Q: Besides being one of the author's best friends, why do you support this blog?
A: I support The Fat Girl because it has an amazingly powerful message that people of any size should real and interpret into their lives.


And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. If you ever thought that the media didn't hurt the skinny women of the world, there's your theory being disproved.

Understand this, readers:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't care who you are, what you look like, or how much you weigh. If you think you're hot and treat yourself like you're the hottest thing since sliced bread, baby you are gonna be THE biggest threat to society since the flippin' Uni Bomber!


Be armed.
Be fabulous.

Readers, this is what life is about! Carpe this world for what it is now. Be a fat kid with pride, be a skinny kid with pride!

Be YOU with PRIDE!
:)

I love you all.

Check out the blog this time next weekend for an interview with The Gay Man.


Stay beautiful readers.



Sincerely,
The Fat Girl
