donnamaybe Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I think what sb may be referring to is hating that idea that people give others the once over and judge them in a condescending way. Live and let live where clothing choices and hairstyles are concerned. Link to post Share on other sites
carhill Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 From the data sources I saw, the pictures I linked don't look to be more than a year old. Some of the press links corrupt when referring but those would likely be the most date-accurate. Link to post Share on other sites
Star Gazer Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Who cares about her age/hair/makeup/age/clothes or whatever? Its never going to be to everyones personal taste. SHE is clearly confident in herself and thats awesome. The minute someone makes a criticism, no matter how small- THATS when peoples insecurities start. Leave her alone. Seriously. Those who criticize are the insecure ones. It's anyone's "right" to say whatever the heck they want, but honestly, why criticize? It's so silly. Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 This is the wonderous difference between men and women. I don't even notice clothes. I notice her body language and expressions. I notice the health of her skin; her facial features. That said, good on ya for the fashion lesson. That really makes sense. TBH, I have to get to know a woman before I can dress her Once again, we wimmins dress for ourselves and each other, not for men. Link to post Share on other sites

Star Gazer Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I just went back and checked out the Beyonce video. That's exactly what she's doing but in the worst way possible... Yes, that's EXACTLY what she's doing... and yet you jumped on her as though that was her own personal style. So what if it was? She's got the cajones to put herself out there. Good for her!

If you're going to put yourself out there in the public eye, try, just try to polish it up a bit or you're going to get criticized. Anyways, off to a conference call.

Chicago_Guy Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 She looks good. She actually has muscle. The comments were probably from insipid little airheads with a profile like a zipper and the muscle tone of a newborn who eat one banana a day to keep from expiring. I agree with you. For a woman who is probably in her 40s, she looks pretty good and has a much better legs than most 30-year-old women. Link to post Share on other sites
Eve Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 She looks ok... in a semi-embarrasing but understandably brave sort of way. I see what she was doing but she should have owned her take by dressing in a way more appropriate for her.. age? She would have really stood out then methinks. But I get it and its ok.. because of what she is trying to do - not many dare to bridge generational gaps nowadays... without surgery, so it is refreshing in some sense. Tsk.. why the analysis? Peoples comments on 'youtube' are rarely, if ever constructive. Take care, Eve xx Link to post Share on other sites

XxBacktoBlackXx Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I guess I'm the only one who thinks she's actually really pretty and in good shape. Link to post Share on other sites

donnamaybe Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I guess I'm the only one who thinks she's actually really pretty and in good shape. Nope. I agree with you. But Cosmo doesn't dress me, and I wear my hair however the hell I want. Not the way someone else does. Last week this gal I know said, "You should change your hairstyle. I could see you looking really good with it long and sleek." Now keep in mind I have VERY wavy, thick hair. If I try to straighten it (i.e. sleek) it stays straight for, like, a millisecond, then it just gets big. So I work with what I have. I have it long and layered. I get compliments from virtual strangers telling me I have beautiful hair. But it's not "up to the minute" as far as how someone else in the fashion industry might view it.

XxBacktoBlackXx Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I agree with you. I have my own style and some people may not like it. My sister criticizes me for wearing makeup. I don't go overboard with it but she still makes comments about it. I leave people alone about how they look. Link to post Share on other sites
Sibyl Vane Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 She is fine. Sheesh people are judgemental. But I'm kind of pissed at her for being the reason why I listened to that awful song for the second day in a row. Link to post Share on other sites
Taramere Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 how old would you guys guess she is? Hard to say. She's got a Sarah Ferguson (Duchess of York) type look about her face, which is a bit chubby looking - but you can tell from her body that that's not related to her being overweight. There's no doubt she's in good, fit shape. I didn't see any comments on the youtube link suggesting that she was fat - but perhaps I didn't read enough of them. I wouldn't think anyone who takes a serious interest in physical fitness would regard her as fat. She'd be more likely to garner those kinds of comments from the pro-ana brigade who live on three peas a day and don't have the energy for physical work-outs. Link to post Share on other sites
Sam Spade Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Interesting how the more pictures I find (beyond what I've shared), the younger she starts to look Not sure if it works with pics of random girls, but I experience this on a daily basis with my gf - the longer i stare at her, the hotter she looks .

Sam Spade Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 what's wrong with her "shakin' it" at her age? Her body isn't gross, so I don't see a problem with it. I agree about the ridiculous outfit, though. Actually, you're right, if she loses the little girl outfit (which is just too surreal for her age and hard to get past..), she's dancing just fine...

sweetjasmine Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 What's wrong with her doing those dance moves? The moves themselves are older than Beyonce. Gwen Verdon was 44 back in 1969 when she danced the Fosse moves that inspired Beyonce's video. Link to post Share on other sites
Kamille Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Shadow, I didn't read the whole thread, but what concerns me is that you seem to have only paid attention to the negative comments that were made about her on the youtube page. I scrollec through three pages of comments and found one negative one for five positive ones. Link to post Share on other sites
Rudderless Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 No she doesn't look bad, she looks quite good and she made a little dance video and put it on the web that looks quite cool, probably enjoyed it too. The people criticising show their true colours - these are the type of people that would never try something like that due to the way that they limit themselves with their harsh judgements of others. You can find many of these people sitting quietly in a corner somewhere Link to post Share on other sites
Thornton Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 She looks fine to me. Her hairstyle is perhaps a bit dated, but apart from that she looks good - and she looks quite young too. She definitely isn't fat - I think people have become too accustomed to looking at skinny little sticklike women. She has normal looking thighs and normal proportions imo. Gosh, if she's considered to be old and fat then the majority of the female population have no chance of being considered good looking! Link to post Share on other sites
pandagirl Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I think she looks great. More importantly, she looks happy and confident! I mean, seriously, what's it to anyone what she is wearing? It's not like she's affecting anyone's life! Link to post Share on other sites
Kamille Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Gosh, if she's considered to be old and fat then the majority of the female population have no chance of being considered good looking! Can't help myself... working too hard... What, are you saying that older bigger women cannot be good looking??? I beg to differ! Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Great, you go ahead and keep on airing your negative opinions of women. It's so... inspiring! Ummm...this is about an individual who chose to put herself in the public eye, in a way that looks ridiculous. I don't support ridiculous, whether it owns a vagina or penis.
