See this girl? She looks hungry, doesn't she? Her name is Sophie Monk and she's a singer of sorts. Her main claim to fame in her native Australia is being a member of the all girl band - oh look, I can't even remember what they were called but I think they won some sort of Pop Idol thing. Anyhoo, she's blonde and skinny. So why is it that this Chupa Chub lookalike was chosen to spearhead the Australian launch of new 'suck in yer gut underwear range called Hollywood Fashion Shapes? Clearly this teeny weeny little thing wouldn't have a clue what it's like to put on a dress only to find it makes you look 7 months pregnant. Her arse would probably fit into a small hankie. The manufacturers of these groundbreaking, gravity defying, respiration restricting garments clearly think we're going to look at their knickers and think, "I bet I'll look just like Skinny Minny here if I buy these heavy duty elastic drawers." I'm sure I can't be the only one who looked, laughed and reached for the Green and Blacks.
Why not use a woman with a few curves, a bit of back fat, a bit of a gut instead? Yes, she might have a BMI of over 19 but she'd show what the product can actually do on the sort of woman who might be thinking about buying it. Using a model who looks like she stopped eating in 1998 isn't exactly smart, it's actually fucking stupid. I hope they don't sell a single pair.

But she was the "fat" one in that group! What has happened? And what have they done to the poor love's face?
I wish she could read your blog. That'd sort her out. She needs to eat something yummy to stop her bones from cracking.
I think she eats because I read that she was in 'trouble' for buying KFC for a homeless man when she herself is vegetarian. And she said recently something along the lines of she thinks she's a dud in bed.
She might a big fat hug as well. And comfy knickers.
She looks beyond hungry...she looks really ill.
Isn't a too-puffy face a sign of bulimia?
She does not look like a happy (or healthy) camper!
Is is a outrage. Similar to a 20-something year old selling wrinkle cream.
I hate advertisers. It should be mandatory to have REAL people of REAL sizes and REAL ages selling appropriate products.
Weight for weight Green and Blacks dark choc is about 15 times better at trapping free radicals than broccoli.
So eat your heart out miss Skinny Minny - we'll live longer than you.
