- Mr. Liverpool and I went to the new James Bond movie on Saturday.
It got me thinking.
Deeply.
And I’m quite dangerous when I think.
Why was Adele asked to sing the theme song, but not asked to
be one of the Bond Girls?
Is it because she’s big- boned, curvilinear… not media’s
typical, unrealistic, big boobed- Playboy Bunny?
Is it because she’s not what men desire to gawk at, drool
over, fantasize about?
Or possibly she wasn’t asked because her stomach isn’t Halle
Barry-Heidi Klum flat?
Anyhow, it pisses me
off.
Perfection.
Flawlessness. Superficiality.
Don’t you find it enormously boring?
I’m waiting for the day when James Bond is wrapping his arms around a size 12-14
chick.
Perhaps Adele or even ME!

I’m confused by this: “I’m waiting for the day when Daniel Craig is wrapping his arms around a size 12-14
chick.”
If you don’t care about size or looks then why do you care about him? What about him appeals to you?
My Inner Chick
November 24, 2012 at 2:18 pmDanger,
it’s not about Daniel Craig…it’s about a woman who happens to be a size 12, 14, or 16 being valued in the media as much as thin chicks.
Not too much analyzing or deep meaning involved. xx

November 19, 2012 at 5:33 pmAmazing how Rubens, a great master, painted portraits of curvaceous women whose bodies were healthy and wholesome. Amazing how many men want women of substance. Amazing that our bodies need a minimum of body fat in order to get pregnant.
Look at Marilyn Munroe…a woman who still sets men’s hormones in motion.
I say to all the women who are dying (literally) to put on weight and not worry – the media is not your god!

The word is zaftig, I love that word. I am not big boned, well I am big boned but I am also zaftig. Big azzed, big hipped, big titted. I have the perfect hourglass figure it is simply larger than a twig. My waist is bigger than my head. Most of us, those of us in the world who live, work, raise children, mind our homes and have cats who take over our equipment cannot spend the hours it requires to meet the standard. Standards I might add established by those who do not give to tinkers damn for our health or well-being.
I am zaftig. I am either loved for my heart and mind or I don’t need it.
You rock! You rock for your random thoughts and wonderful pictures. You rock for bringing us Mercy and music.

Adele: She’s gorgeous. From a practical standpoint, given that the movie started filming over a year ago, it could be that the soundtrack – especially the song – wasn’t yet on the producers radar, and so neither was Adele. From a people-need-to-get-over-their-shit-about-size-0-being-the-only-attractive-size-in-the-industry standpoint, I totally agree with you.
Utterly random and wickedly cool: my first book releases 12/12/12. Cue squees replete with “dreams do come true when you work your ass off and you choose to believe in yourself.”

November 24, 2012 at 2:43 pmCongrats on the prize for your essay. Too cool! Great thoughts on Adele and women. I lament it all the time. We are all shapes and sizes and should be celebrated in song and film. Since I live in wine country in northern CA here is a random fact about wine: Both men and women can be turned on by the aromas of wine. The scents of many wines are believed to replicate human pheromones, the chemical substances that cause behavioral responses in humans.
I don’t know how cool that is or if it’s really true. Let me know what happens if you put it to the test. Cheers!

Someone should inform the casting department of James Bond movies that a curvy revolution is taking place! Enough with the waifs. I say give the fat girls a turn! And I say this proudly as a fat woman myself. Size wise, methinks Adele would have made a fantastic Bond girl! I loved the shot of Madonna in concert and I definitely have to drop by Mercy’s blog. She is so beautiful! Congratulations on your prize money, lady! Hugs for you from Roxy and me! 🙂

Just FYI, as a single woman of heft, for my married sistas out there – being a woman of abundance has rarely gotten in the way of a man worth pounding the sheets with. Just sayin’.
