This photo caught my eye this morning as it struck me as good, old-fashioned hollywood glamour which is something that seems to be becoming more and more rare these days. This is proof that you don’t have to be a toothpick in order to make men go weak at the knees. In fact, the sexiest woman ever was voted by one of the leading male magazines to be none other than Jessica Rabbit - coke bottle-shaped sex appeal in a slinky dress, curves and one hell of alot of smoulder and yes girls, she is taller than her man (the fact he is a rabbit is another story entirely).
Not that there is anything wrong with the toothpick if it is your natural shape, I just disapprove of women starving themselves in an obsessive way in order to achieve the same shape as your average 12 year old.
Kate looks healthy, radiant, immaculately groomed and enviably curvaceous in the Balmain dress whilst Leo looks every bit the Hollywood Hearthrob with his suave and sophisticated look (Armani? Boss? Who knows!). Did you know that Kate just happens to have large feet? Not that you can spot it due to very high shoes.
Kate and Leo were doing the press for their new movie, Revolutionary Road, which pairs them up again for the first time since Titanic but this time in a gritty relationship drama. I’ve managed to see a sneak preview of this and to describe it in one word I would say beige, the colour of suburbs. Kate and Leo are married and wake up to discover their world is bland, and you then watch as they try to find color again - heavy but interesting.
I think the reason this particular photograph is so appealing to me is because neither Kate nor Leo have succumbed to what I consider the modern celebrity must-haves of a size 0 figure for women and Calvin Klein model-esque buff bodies for men. The demonstrate more ‘achievable’ glamour and are surely better role models for girls and women today? In the run up to Christmas, take inspiration from Miss Winslet and think sexy curves.
