Lindsay Lohan: "Hot, Ready, and Legal!"

she is often delightful

and a smart New Yorker etc. etc.

because she is often delightful, apart from her starring in that acronymic show

She's got a LOT of running to do to get away from being Carrie Bradshaw.

Like, Forrest Gump levels.

Agree w/ Gabbneb. SJP's cuteness ain't in her face (obviously). It's in her personality. She comes across as not hot, but at least charming when she's actually doing something: performing, acting, whatever you call that kind of sitcom behavior. In still pictures, she looks like something you'd use to split wood.

"ordinary"

not to play the ageism card, but I kinda feel bad for SJP getting beat up on for her looks when her biggest role (in a show that had the word SEX in the title which I guess leads to expectations of sexiness more than usual) came when she was hurtling toward 40. she was kind of an ugly duckling circa Square Pegs and became genuinely cute during her L.A. Story/Honeymoon In Vegar romcom era, but by the time her fame peaked in a fashion plate role, it was pretty clear that she has the kind of features that do not age well. not every actress is gonna peak in hotness at 45.

Yes, but I have always hated her face.

i thought SJP was cute in L.A. Story. i think she'd be cuter now if she gained 20 pounds.

^^ ya her skinniness only emphasizes her immense head

It is like they broke the mold after making Candice Bergen, but then went ahead and used it again.

And deprived the result of sunlight and nutrients.

The accuracy of the statement "tight little body" is irrelevant in light of the fact that it is something said only by male undergrads with gel in their hair and diagonal stripes on their opalescent, Polo Sport-drenched shirts.

Hi thanks rox for reading my mind but better. That phrase is disgusting.

Also it owes so so much and is way to close to "tight little pussy" which is just ew. God, ew. EW I SAY.

the first time my mom met my girlfriend she called her a "tightbody" and my mom does not drench her shirts in polo sport

I would have drinks with all this beer cats.

Recourse to mom absolves nothing. Still ew.

max did your mom give you a high five?

no i think it was actually sort of a pejorative?

i don't think tight little body is that gross. it's just a fucking expression, geez.

It's pretty disgusting. I think mainly because, like Roxy said, only complete assholes would actually use that phrase in speech.

Yeah, exactly. xpost.

i mean, i get why it's gross, but some bodies are tight and little.

would "taut petite body" be better?

that phrase gets all porn results in Google, too.

oh my god the lohan freckles. SO GREAT.

Let's just say that praising women's bodies for being small and scant and hard is probably not a good way to start out. It's kind of like saying she's desirable because there's SO LITTLE of her to start with! "Hardly takes up any room in the storage closet and eats almost no groceries. The apartment-dweller's ideal."

"big doughy body"

"good for fuck... and storage!"

"that woman looks terrible"
"yes, and such small portions..."

Laurel - exactly.

Haha.

I'm not sure the attraction to smallness or litheness has anything to do with desiring a woman to be invisible or hassle-free or anything like that, though. I think it's just a common sexual aesthetic created and propagated by images in the media.

it might be just cause its hawt tho

Good Christ, people. Everybody relax and just admit that SJP could use (a) a few pounds and (b) a nose job.

I'm not saying this as some kind of pro-fat thing nor am I criticizing liking "little" women...whether little means short or petite or thin or whatever! But the gestalt idea that a woman is better if there's less of her in all directions kind of denies her the right to a physical self. It's...probably just better to avoid phrasing things that way.

xp give me those almond truffles right now.

Also, this is what I look like, day in and day out

DAMN! Check out that TIGHT LITTLE BODY!!! BUTTER FACE!!!

This is true. He was like that at the bar.

Laurel, you and I could not agree more. The day that I actually use the phrse "tight little body" and mean it will be the day that my wife smacks me in the back of the head with her Smith College diploma.

Oh good. :)

ts: tight little body vs. loose booty

Sometimes I am very very earnest despite my best efforts to develop a thick scale of jaded ennui.

so we can't praise women for being small but we can hound them for having a big nose?

Absolutely. The large nose means that they must be at least part Jewish.

a woman is better if there's less of her in all directions

Also - this idea is perpetuated by people whose ideas of attractive never moved past middle school.

Well, not that I said anything about her nose, but...one is actually misogynistic, the other is just mean. I'm pretty okay with mean.

ha well so could i
