Hollywood's horrible perceptions

Most smart people are aware that Hollywood represents ideals that are totally unrealistic. The so-called "lucky" few hundred people who live it are rich, famous, and beautiful but they don't represent the world's population. Unfortunately, too many people think they ARE the ideal representation of human beings. WRONG.

I was watching E! fashion police of the grammy awards. The judges were the extremely esteemed Jay Manuel, Giuliana Rancic, Joan Rivers, and Khloe Kardashian. Obviously these people are total fashion gods, and I care a whole lot about what they have to say.

I heard Joan Rivers' voice and decided to save my IQ points from dropping further and picked up the remote to change the channel, when I heard her talk about Jennifer Hudson

"Wow she looks great. She's losing the baby weight, but she's not there yet, but she's getting there"

she's not there yet?! but she's getting there?! My question is: Getting to WHERE?! Jennifer Hudson is a naturally curvy woman. She will always be that way and that is OK and perfectly fabulous. The nerve of this woman to say she's not there yet!!! Joan Rivers, with her skin falling off her face and a complete lack of understanding of beauty (obviously injecting your face with 1000 botox injections does NOT work dearest Joan) is criticizing Jennifer Hudson's post-baby bod? (which looks fabulous by the way) We cannot all be size ZEROES!

Jennifer Hudson is an Oscar winner, has a voice that can make grown men cry, and really does look great after giving birth. Joan Rivers (I could probably dedicate several blog posts to the LACK of her contributions and achievements in the field of acting, or art in general) = stupid.

Khloe threw a couple of gems in there like "she looks thin, she looks fabulous" (she was referring to Sandra Bullock) Obviously thin = fabulous. W.O.W.

I think the worst part about all of this is that E! decides to PUT these people on the fashion panel and allows their voices to be heard. Fine, there is free of speech. But, I really hope tweeny boppers, and people who actually watch the Hollywood's CNN channel are able to EDIT out whatever these women say because Hollywood will and should NEVER define beauty.

Kudos E! You guys did an awesome job picking fashion "mavens" who imparted their "knowledge" onto the rest of us. If you want to give us fashion "advice" and stimulate the economy by shoving products and ideas down our throats, pick smarter and more accomplished people next time..like TIM GUNN!!

Where did your work-related post go? I was going to comment on there but I'll just do it here... what a fucking douche bag!!! He seriously has issues and I'm so glad you took it to management. That's not something anyone should have to deal with. I'm proud of you for doing all that you could before, but damn! If the asshole doesn't understand rejection, there's nothing else you can do by yourself. Hopefully things will turn around for you and his stupid ass won't be putting dents in your day-to-day any longer. Keep me posted -- I'd like to know what happens. Love you!
