The graphic saying "we" ... it's just because I have a person saying "hey look at so and so and the way she looks, I love the way she looks" and one person saying "oh wow, that's such an ego boost 'cause I look like that" and it has to work the other way. I find that absolutely tragic.

And the graphic isn't just meant to say larger is okay, but smaller too (maybe I should put plus/minus signs on it, IDK)

Yes there's that Hollywood standard of thinness and to be naturally thin may be considered lucky in some ways but there are people I know who have the body type of Grace Park and have been mockingly offered a sandwich. She did (does?) modelling for Maxim magazine and looks stunning. Take someone like her and walk them down the street, maybe someone who doesn't have a pretty face or a famous face or whatever, and people think there's something wrong. In fact, people have said there's something wrong with Grace Park too.

When you say "I think most actresses are too thin"... yes, Hollywood helps create a standard of "fat people need not apply" and that's definitely wrong. It would be fantastic to have a wider variety of shapes and sizes on our TVs! So I agree that most actresses are thin and I'd prefer that to not happen. But any of those individual actresses?

They're not too thin. They're just fine.
