Monday Musings...

Did you know...

That the woman of whom many consider to be THE perfect example of the beauty ideal is Marilyn Monroe?

Did you know that Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14?

This is her (the picture is from my android wallpaper app), perched on the beach in her glory, proudly displaying her fat rolls and all.

I love her...

  4. Nice picture. Society's ideals for beauty get more and more unrealistic as time goes on.

  9. I may be tiny myself but not because I obsess over it, its just how I was made. I look at some of the girls/women on tv & in movies and just want to give them a great big plate of cookies!! Eat something!!
