The Jennifer Lawrence Bubble Is a Nice Place to Live

It’s hard to know if Hollywood’s spoilt class are constantly bringing up female body size issues in interviews or if it’s a blatant push by the fashion magazines that have promoted anorexia through the years to appear on top of underarm fat roll acceptance. In Harper’s Bazaar, Lawrence is pushing for a new normal body type, since she believes the accepted normal is super skinny chicks who don’t eat.

I do Pilates every day. I eat, but I work out a lot more than a normal person. I think we’ve gotten so used to underweight that when you are a normal weight it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, she’s curvy.

Which only shows just how a half dozen years in Hollywood will erase an entire upbringing in Kentucky surrounded by immense levels of obesity and women with fat drapes riding mechanized shopping carts at the store. Women in Louisville aren’t living in Lululemon, carrying pressed juice to Spin class and discussing sugar as a WMD. Models, actresses, women hoping to marry wealthy older retail clothing store magnates, they need to be skinny. Have you been to Target recently? You can rise to floor manager while toting around an extra thirty pounds, an unseemly neck mole, and limited knowledge of English.

As to the reaction to her equal pay for women in Hollywood essay in Lena Dunham’s feminine hygiene spray scented website, Lawrence notes how all the all negative reactions bothered her initially. Until she realize that ‘really, people who criticized it are people who think women should not be paid the same as men. So I don’t really care what those people think.’ Well played.
