"Mad Men" star Christina Hendricks says she's always been proud of her curvier figure.

"Back when I was modeling, the first time I went to Italy I was having cappuccinos every day, and I gained 15 pounds. And I felt gorgeous!" Hendricks, 35, tells the July/August issue of Health. "I would take my clothes off in front of the mirror and be like, Oh, I look like a woman. And I felt beautiful, and I never tried to lose it, 'cause I loved it!"

IMHOToday, by far, the most beautiful woman in the public eye is Christina Hendricks. (Michelle Pfeiffer, if you’re reading this-no one will ever take that part of me that belongs only to you). I began watching “Mad Men” because I caught a glimpse of her during channel surfing, and was sure I had plugged into something produced in the 60’s; after all, in this culture they would never allow a woman that beautiful not to look like a third world famine victim.

Besides being unattractive, the emaciated lifestyle body weight most celebrity women live at cannot be healthy. Women were designed to hold onto some fat, and most men really like it!

Prior to the 1990’s curves have always been assets to women (Okay there were 1920’s flapper girls in potato sacks, but the farm girls still filled out their overalls) and appreciated by the majority of men as well. I think it is women’s perception of women that makes them so dissatisfied with their appearance.


Back when it was tougher to get fat, those Rubenesque women were the rage. The bottom line is that some of us need to feel superior to others. So we go to the more difficult extremes and then make that extreme be the standard as the best possible way to be. Then the rest of us, in our sheep-like condition, decide they must be right and we start fighting our way to the same condition.

Women enjoy your body the way it is now. Don’t wait twenty years to realize how beautiful you are today. Hey you, young aspiring fashion designer, instead of making bigger designs that only look good on stick figures, start making really beautiful clothes that flatter really voluptuous women and see a niche that could use some filling!
