Lovelies,
Whilst I've always been one to jump on the bandwagon and
pretty much stop by and tell anyone who will listen about my next pop
culture cult following, I believe my love for this Hollywood actress stems
further than her lead role as (the kick ass) Katniss of Hunger Games.
Sure she won our votes (and a few prestigious industry
awards too) for portraying an emotionally challenged girl in Silverlinings
Playbook with Bradley Cooper, but that's not my main reason for
flying the "I-heart-Jennifer-Lawrence" flag. She recently won a
bucket-full of brownie points for rushing off of the red carpet toward a cryingfan, only to comfort her too.
Most impressively, during a Q&A session with Yahoo! Media, she's spoken
about how much scrutiny and pressure is held towards women in society. To be
frank, she's irritated, because, well like most instagrammers, she's a
full-blown Foodie at heart.
Now, despite my obsession with clean eating, fitness and
general well-being, I'm not exactly a skinny-girl hater, however I'm bloody
proud to call myself an advocate for a healthy attitude towards body image.
Jennifer is right, growing up a lot of the media coverage did leave me feeling
subconsciously rancid, but truth be told I also had a few great magazines which
helped me instil a bit of knowledge and confidence in myself as a teenager, so
props to you Cosmo body love section, Cleo as well.
However, times have changed and some girls are thinking
Heroine Chic is the style to aspire to. Cue incredible role model Miss J Lawrence
to put things into perspective here.
PS a little something that irritated me was the fact that a
quick Google search indicated that rather than including key words from movie
titles she had been featured in, people were more
interested in her weight, hence the screenshot below.
Aghhh
as horrible as it is, let's ignore Google's suggestions and focus on the
message Jennifer is trying to get out, quit abusing yourself by comparing your
body to the body of an airbrushed model that probably had a team of experts
behind her to assist with everything from a strict diet regime, training
schedule, and great lighting.

Do you agree with Jennifer's "Screw that!" mentality? I know I do.
Wogarella,
