America the Beautiful

I was reading the Go Fug Yourself entry on America Ferrera and her digs for the Golden Globes the other night, and Jessica did a wonderful job summing up, again, how it's perfectly OK for women to look like women.

I mean, let's be honest: most of out there would cut a bitch for America's figure, and here we have tons of celebrity industry types who drop ridiculous euphemisms on women like America because somehow we still have to make sure we're herding all women into particular categories, especially the ones who dare to give Hollywood's beauty standard's the finger.

I'm not going to rehash a ton of points that I know you all read a million times a day, anyway. But I really enjoy when the Fug girls do it and thought you might too.

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it, Erin.

The entry was originally a lot more...rage-y than what I ended up actually publishing. Partially, it came from a conversation I had with someone about whether or not America needed to lose 20 pounds. People are screwy.
