FHM (one of the music channels) is having one of it's themed links of clips.

This one? "Full figured women." With a caption "biggest mamas in music."

An example? Shakira.

Shakira?! Ye gods and they wonder why people become anorexic!? *sigh*

Dolly who? Ah yes... *counts trhe Valley It's grey hairs*

Nowadays she'd be pressed to diet until she had no curves at all.

I like Shakira. I also think she is a beautiful woman.

I know, I mean there ARE fat musicians - even better, there are fat ones LIKE Missy Eliot who make it WORK, who look good despite or because of it (first step to beauty is always been happy in your own skin) but because Shakira actually has hips she's fat?

I remember something on Pop Idol a while ago (hate hate HATE that show) they had a girl on it who was told outright she wouldn't win and would go nowhere because she was fat - never mind that her voice was incredible.
