Zoe Saldana is *fine*, but please-

[Johnnymuffintop]

Yeah, she definitely needs to put on a little weight.

Just refer to the "Who's hotter, Orion girl or Uhura" poll, the orion girl won, not because we saw more of her, but because she actually had some curves.

Does anyone else get tired of " ...but she needs to eat a sandwich" threads, or is it just me?

I mean, yeah, some people do keep some pretty unhealthy eating habits for the sake of appearance, particularly in showbiz, but it's also true that some people are just naturally thin. That's their normal, healthy state, and the notion that they need to fatten up to fit some sort of "ideal" image is really no better than the one which leads to people going to extreme measures to fit an "ideal" image of thin-ness and end up with eating disorders. If they're healthy, that ought to be good enough, right?

What surprises me is the whole "She's too thin!" mentality, when, like 12 years ago, everyone was bashing chicks like Rosie O'Donnel.

And, to people who say Zoe's too skinny....this might make you feel better....for every one of her, there's 100 Rosie O'Donnels out there.

Leave zoe alone, says I.

This coming from a former fat teen, and who at 30 is in better shape than most of the 20 year olds I know.

I think Ms Saldana is pretty much obligated to be taller, thinner and prettier than most of us. She'd be sadly underemployable in her industry if she looked like most of the rest of us! Just like the Quinto/Pine/Urban appreciation threads would be far thinner if they weren't also taller, more fit and handsomer than most of the rest of us!

that said, I wanted to take the whole cast home and feed them. because I'm an old mom and that's what moms do when they like you. or are horrified at how thin you've become! "Eat! Eat" You're skin and bones! How will you ever give me grandbabies if you're so thin? Eat! Eat!"

Thank goodness I don't want any kids.....

Plus what if I told you my skinny g/f was a m to f transgender?

You'd really be in for a disappoinment in the kids area.

Most women over here are larger then 5'7. Hmm, perhaps American women do have something going for them.

Funnily enough - Zoe Saldana is at Comic-Con and was on a panel about women in science-fiction.

Here's the TrekToday link

"It's about how long I have to stand fighting a room full of men about why I should do a fight scene in trousers, where I'm required to run across a floor and leap on to a moving elevator," she said. "They're confused because they're convinced I should be just as good at doing that in a leather miniskirt and Gucci boots."

Well, why not? My girlfriend can run fast and leap on and off objects in a leather miniskirt and stiletto Gucci boots. I've seen her do it. What's so hard about that? (And before you ask: no, I'm not going to wear stiletto boots -- I'm convinced somehow female anatomy makes it easier to wear them )

Heh, I agree with all that.
But I know many transgender girls who can run in leather minis and stilettos better than any genetic woman I know.

And this is a stupid statement. "The number four is too low on this scale! But you were bashing the number 200 a decade ago!" Maybe because people are looking for the number 100?

Not everyone works in the extremes.

How has this thread, gotten to 4 pages without even one pic of Zoe?

Good point. But, then again, I am at work, and seeing her pictures might make me lose concentration. Its bad enough I have Meg Fox's rump as my screen saver..you know the one..where she's on the motor bike..oh yeah!!!

Rob

 

[DiSiLLUSiON]

Now that I see it, she does look a bit too thin on this particular picture... I wonder why.

 

[iguana_tonante]

Oh good grief, not another of those "she's skinny/she's fine" thread.

Let's add a few then

 

[Vance]

She looks more like a bishie than a woman. :P

A what ??

I think he means this.

[Vance]

Sorry, she's got a fairly flat, largely featureless, girl's body... and closer to looking like a bishie than a woman. She's got no real hips, toothpick legs, largely flat chest, and a rather generic Hollywood 'minority girl' face. She looks like a 14 year old just entering real puberty, at best... and just isn't physically defined as an actual woman.

 

[DiSiLLUSiON]

I didn't know what a "bishie" was.

 

[Plecostomus]

I believe that my new avatar sums up my opinion quite well.

That's going too far, dude. She may be skinny, but she's all woman, yo.

 

[Brutal Strudel]

Tell the girl an extra trip once a week to McDonald's for a fillet-O-fish & fries wouldn't hurt her. A few extra calories would send her to the next level of goddess IMO.

Amen.
