Kate Winslet has enjoyed a lot of recent career success, and is often at the top of "best dressed" lists for her fashion and style. She is proud of the fact that she has curves. She isn't afraid to show them off in form-fitting dresses or in a partially-nude photo shoot for Vanity Fair, but comments about her figure haven't always been positive. In her younger years, Kate was bullied for being chubby and classmates gave her the nickname "Blubber." These days (warning: the language in this article is a little strong), Kate is an advocate for real-sized women, and wants to draw attention to the fact that the images on magazine covers aren't real. Those pictures have been retouched to hide any flaws, and that's after the person has been in hair and makeup for hours. Kate says she still sees herself as the fat kid in school. She doesn't consider herself as a beauty, but rather as someone who is just ageing naturally. Do you appreciate celebrities like Kate Winslet who are comfortable with being a "normal" sized woman? Are you surprised that someone like her, who's had so much success, is still affected by the negative comments from her childhood? |
