"I'd kill myself if I was as fat as Marilyn Monroe."
So says Elizabeth Hurley. But this is a woman who happily and in all seriousness advocates living on 6 raisins a day, so such moronic attitudes from her shouldn't really be a surprise.
I'm not trying to start a 'let's bash the skinny chick' session. Well, I want to bash her, but not cos she's skinny! I just think that that statement is so full of hatred, and so damaging to average sized and plus sized women (Marilyn flauctuated but was most often around a size 16 (UK), which is the average dress size for a woman in the UK, although it's creeping up to 18). I'm just glad Elizabeth hasn't got a daughter to screw up. It's just a shame her comments could contribute to screwing up other people's daughters though.
