I have to point you over to this post on The Frisky about the Great Slut Debate, and why, exactly, we keep flogging it...

"Um, Karolina, You're Like, So Fat!"

Um, HUGE bodysnarking alert! You'd think Brazilian fashion journalists would have learned their lesson after a 21-year-old native model Ana Carolina Reston made headlines when she died of anorexia, forcing the entire industry to a call to arms regarding promoting new standards when it comes to projecting healthier body images.

Does Felicity Huffman rock the 'tox?

There's a reason that I saved Felicity Huffman for the last of our Desperate Housewives HD Makeover series: I love her so much that I have a hard time taking an unbiased look at her, even if to judge her skin routine. I dutifully downloaded a super high-res image of her lovely face and stared at it for five solid minutes. I zoomed the image, blew up her photo until her face was 30 times bigger than life-size. This photo is so clear that I can actually see the teeny tiny hairs on the underside of her nose and you know what? The woman's skin is pretty flawless. Granted, she's no stranger to makeup (check out her look without eyeliner) but her forehead is smoother than Nicole Kidman's. Does this mean she rocks the 'Tox? I want to believe that she doesn't. I really want to believe, Felicity!

Have you guys read the recent Wall Street Journal article, "The Rise of Bodysnarking?" Well luckily, I read the WSJ so you don't have to, and I can tell you the gist is that the time-honored tradition of hating on a woman's body for various infractions--such as weight gained or lost, the possession of "cankles" and or being just plain "fugly"--is on the increase, and both technology and the public's seemingly voracious appetite for cutting commentary is to blame.
