Just a few weeks ago or even less than that Lady Gaga was being criticized in the media for having gained some weight. Her costumes were a little too snug at some of her concerts, and, of course, body snarkers pounced on that extra poundage with cruel comments. Some media outlets photoshopped Gaga to look larger, which is ironic considering glossy magazines are always making stars slimmer and wrinkle-free. Gaga responded to the media by saying she had been indulging in carbs at her father's Italian restaurant in NYC and, as a result, had gained 25 pounds. In true Gaga nature, she gave the body snarkers her middle finger and initiated a body revolution. On her website, she posted photos of her fabulous +25 body in a bra and undies. Now, I do agree with her speaking out and saying, "Yea, so I gained a few pounds? Kiss my extra pounds." But, come on, when extra pounds look like that. Oh my, Dog! With that said, I don't agree with her staging this body revolution. This photo display of her fabulous body just seems counter-productive in some ways, because people see Gaga's fabulous body being labeled pudge and feel even worse about their own bodies, because, for most of us out there, may we even be so lucky to look as good as her at her pudgiest. Maybe it was a bad idea to stage this body revolution. Could it be that this revolt is just reinforcing all those bad feelings about ourselves? Why can't I look like a fat Gaga and so on and so forth. . .
I ask you to look at this photo above. Does that look like chubbing out? No. She's even in direct sunlight, and there's no visible cellulite. Her stomach looks pancake flat, and there's even some ribbage. I can't see her butt, but I'm guessing that woman doesn't even have enough back to stage a body revolution. Red beans and rice missed her, I just know it.
