That Didn’t Take Long

Real World

[by Erica, you can read her blog at http://ihearttv.blogspot.com.]

The Real World/Road Rules blog reports that the girls of Real World Austin have posed for Stuff Magazine. The pictures actually look pretty good, particularly Melinda’s–if Playboy hasn’t called her yet, they probably will now. I guess all those times prancing around the house in her underwear really prepared her for this shoot.

You’ll have to buy Stuff (or look through it in a corner at Barnes & Noble in shame) for the full article, but the site does have pictures of each girl in her best sleazy underwear. In a group photo also on the site, Rachel and Johanna are mysteriously in exactly the same pose (hands on hips, chests out, stomachs in, even their hair looks the same) and Lacey is non-mysteriously looking rather uncomfortable, though not nearly as uncomfortable as in her solo pic. I wonder if the other girls had to talk her into it. Melinda, of course, is sprawled invitingly in front of all the others.

Also, in a short interview excerpt, Johanna says that she can be your greatest friend ever or worst enemy when she is drunk, and Stuff tells Lacey it will hurt when she finally does lose her virginity. Thanks, Stuff. You’ve taught us so much and also managed placed a very disturbing image in our heads for the rest of the day.

    Odd that there only seems to be a halo over Lacey’s head. Hmmmm… wonder what that means about the other girls.

    In rachel’s solo picture, it looks like she is trying to hide her dick between her legs.

    Come onnnnn… that is total photoshop! All but Johanna are wearing the same necklace. Necklace = concealing where they photoshop a head onto another body.

    I thought the same thing about how there appears to be a halo over Lacey’s head. And its not photoshopping, its called airbrushing! There is no way Rachel would look like that in underwear. Even in the first picture you can see a little roll.

    I think Lacey has the most sophisticatedly sexy… most alluring and come-hitherish… solo pic of the bunch. And no, I’m not kidding.

    what’s up with rachel’s mismatched bra/panties? and i’m not saying melinda isn’t hot, but i think her boobs look weird. something about the shape just isn’t right – not bad tit job wrong, but weird.

    I, for one, am SOOOO glad that the hair and make up person decided to do something to Lacey other than the typical red lipstick and pale face combo. It is a 100% improvement.

    #9 RHM… I think that weird boob thing is because of the way she is leaned back on one arm. When we women lay back, or on our sides, etc… it changes the shape and placement of our boobs (some more than others!!!)

    That’s not a halo over Lacey’s head-it’s the neon figure that’s on the wall behind her head.

    Please lay off of Rachel’s tummy, it’s fine. She’s not a professional model, and no, she is not as small as the other girls-but so what? I think the stylist just made a poor low rider panty choice for her body type, and yeah, it would help if the bra and panties matched and came up just underneath her belly button and not way underneath her tiny tummy pooch. She actually happens to look soft and curvy, like, I don’t know–A WOMAN.

    I think they all were groomed well (except for the mismatched panties), and whoever fixed Lacey up deserves the stylist’s version of an Oscar because she is one ugly duck!

    The pictorial is OK, but clearly Rachel drew the short straw when it came to the wardrobe. She needed a top with a little bit of lift, and it doesn’t even look like they bothered to do anything with her hair.

    The Apprentice shoots have been much more interesting overall.

    There’s nothing wrong w/taking care of oneself. Some people who are overweight are that way because they have a genetic thing. But here in the US, most are just that way because they’re lazy asses and they eat shit food all the time. I get so sick of hearing the “I’m a real woman” defense. Please… being obese does not mean you’re a “real woman.”

    No, I’m not saying Rachel is “obese.” I don’t think she is. I just get sick of hearing the whiney “real woman” crap, so I’m reacting. Btw, I’m not skin and bones myself. I’m 36C 26 38, 5’10″ 131 lbs. I’m athletic and slim, but have curves too. And contrary to what some convince themselves of, yes… that IS possible.

    Anyway, I just don’t think Rachel is very attractive in general. It’s not just her weight. I like Melinda (her character), but I don’t think she has an incredible face. I think Lacey and Johanna both have more timeless, classical facial features (provided there isn’t mime make-up slathered on). Yeah, when Lacey is cleaned up right, she’s attractive. Nobody has to agree with that, but at least I can speak my own opinion.

    Much love. jmho ~Holly

    (all together now)

    Only if she’s 5’3″!

    Seriously Holly, you sound like a dish, and you sound like you are healthy, but that’s not to be said all of the people who strive to be your proportions. Diet and exercise have always been better factors than straight weight and measurements to determine healthy life choices, no?

    Of course, coming from a person who blogs about watching television, well, you get the picture.

    Love your comment J-U (#15), so true. 5’10 and 130′s=straight up Olive Oyl-not cute.
    I hate to keep snapping on you Holly, but you are the one putting measurements out like this is an audition or something. You also are such an easy mark that snapping on you is almost not even fun.

    I wasn’t sayin everyone should look like me. I don’t think that AT ALL. Don’t get me wrong; I’m pleased with my looks. But the point I was making had nothing to do with *me*, personally. I think all women are beautiful; and I’ve got friends in all shapes, sizes, and colors. heheh. :)

    With that said, what I *did* mean is that I’m all about being healthy and happy. There’s nothing wrong with being bigger, if you’re truly *healthy*. I just get tired of hearing women who are simply OBESE trying to trash other women for not being being “real.” I think it’s a cop-out. None of what I said was really a reaction to Rachel specifically (not her weight anyway).

    Of course being unhealthy can go too far the other way with eating disorders, drugs, etc. But for the vast majority of women who are lean with some inviting curves, it’s NOT cause they’re starving themselves. But ok, I’m gonna stop now. I’ve already said way more than enough on this. I’m just opinionated, and this is a peeve of mine. I apologize for turning this into my own personal soapbox/infomercial for healthy living. heheh. :)

    joslyn: Olive Oil? Ok, if you say so. If you feel like dining on your own foot sometime, im me on yahoo. I’ll let you see. id=trublyss. Fair enough? LOL

    Here’s a chart which helps to determinine the *healthy* weight for specific body types: http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm

    As I’m sure you’ll see, I’m currently a WHOLE 1 LB “underweight.” Oh no! Shall I waste away? I better go eat some cotton candy ice cream! :p heheh.

    Btw, 130 is my lowest weight. I fluctuate between 130 and 140, depending on the season and time of the month. The skinny models you’re probably thinking of are a full 20-30 lbs lighter than me at my height. And no, I’m not saying this to “audition” or brag. My original point had nothing to do with ME anyway (or at least I didn’t mean it to).

    Aj, why do you hope I’m “hot”? LOL. Do you think I’m mean? Dumb? Whatever, I don’t care. I know I’m neither. All I did was point out (once again) what everyone already knows: Americans tend to be more overweight and unhealthy than other people, and they tend to make excuses for it.

    Holly,
    I’ll back you up. I too am 5’10″. I have weighed 130 in recent years but am in the 140s now. I never felt like an Olive Oyl at 130. I still had a butt and didn’t have stick-skinny legs (which I really want). I agree that having a more curvaceous figure is fine, but you can’t just sit around and eat junk food and not exercise and use that as an excuse. Rachel looks fine to me. I am sure she is in great shape considering her military background. Her personality is a little annoying (too loud and obnoxious). I can’t say which girl has the best personality.

    “Hot Holly” likes this RW forum (especially this thread, heheh). It’s all I read on TVgasm, and is my time-wasting net activity of choice. Most people have one, whether they admit it or not. So get over it. :)

    bacardi, you know what *I* always think is funny are people who post on blogs and message boards about how OTHER people post too much. *rolls eyes* (Bring on the one-line, no-substance zingers!!) LOL ;)

    As for me, I’ll stick to actually saying something. It’s that whole not-being-borderline-retarded thing; I just can’t help it. :)

    I wonder if any of you saw the Mo’nique’s Fat Chance beauty pageant a few weeks ago on Oxygen. As you can probably guess from the title, it was a pageant for larger women, hosted by Mo’nique, and there was a lot of the real women/fat is fabulous stuff going on there.

    It was also totally boring, but that’s another story.

    "real women" rule
    Posted August 17, 2005 at 1:21 pm

    Holly, I think this “whiney “real woman” crap” you claim to be sick of hearing about is extremely judgmental from someone who is lucky enough to have been born into the body that you have.

    There are plenty of “real women” out there who work out 5 or more days a week, eat really healthily, spend their hard earned money on personal trainers, and yet their bodies more closely resemble Rachel’s than Melinda, or yours.

    Have some compassion for other women out there who are not obese, not lazy, but by the sheer luck of the draw with genetics, have some curves which, barring starving themselves or going under the knife, they’re stuck with.

    Holly
    Posted August 17, 2005 at 2:06 pm

    I NEVER SAID RACHEL WAS OBESE. In fact, I said the opposite. I also very clearly stated that I have no problem with people who are bigger. That is not the issue, and I don’t judge people in that way.

    I said I have a problem with people being UNHEALTHY, and then claiming that it makes them “real women”… and looking down on others simply for trying to be healthy. I even pointed out that being unhealthy *also* applies to women who are underweight and starve themselves. It’s obvious you didn’t read what I said. And that’s fine; I mean I know I did write a lot. But don’t speak on what I said and didn’t say when you didn’t even read it.

    And of course Aj, I’m not gonna post pictures of myself on a random blog that I have no say in administrating. That’s just stupid. I did give out my yahoo id so I could show someone on my own terms, should they dare to ask. The point wasn’t *about* me in the first place; a couple people just decided to turn it into that. I just put my id on there cause I *do* enjoy prooving people wrong. It’s amusing. If you REALLY wanna know–you know how. Until then, you have no room to say anything.

    I dont know anything about this but I find it hard to believe that the two of you not super thin and are 5’10 and 130 (you must have really small frames). I am 5’6 and weigh 130 and people are always telling me how thin *I* am and calling me a toothpick. I guess that goes to show you that weight really doesn’t mean anything, it’s how its proportioned.

    BTW, I can’t stand Rachel to begin with but since she posed in her underwear lookin like that (well not that gross but not attractive) I think she’s nasty. Melinda just skeeves me out and is annoying as hell. I think Lacey looks pretty, they did her makeup good. Jo usually looks better, they caught her making some weird faces.

    You’re right Hailey, I do have a small frame. Being in the 130s is definitely within the healthy zone for someone who’s 5’10″ w/a small frame. Btw, today I’m 135. PMS. See? Told ya it varies. :p heheh. :) Anyway, up above there somewhere I posted a link to a chart that tells healthy weight zones for different heights AND frames… if you wanna look at it for whatever reason. (And no, I don’t mean that to sound sarcastic or snotty… just sincerely.)

    pedro, I did state a way someone could check my “credentials.” It’s up above in one of the posts; and I’m not gonna continuously repost and reclarify things just because some people might be too lazy to read.

    Pretty sure it doesn’t concern you, wendy. Why butt in just to say “go away”? (Very thought-provoking sentiments, btw. Thank you for displaying your awe-inspiring intellect to us all.) I’m surprised you can still type with all the fingers you’ve been losin in your chili…

    Yeah that’s childish, but oh well. You’re childish for tryin to pop your developmentally challenged “last word” on something you weren’t even involved in in the first place. What’s the point? People like you really make me laugh (no, really)… just like the people who come on message boards to make posts about how everyone else posts too much. (rolls eyes) heheh…
