overrated fat chick icons: first in a series of ten

KATE WINSLET. her face is too angular and harsh for someone that plump. and, while plump, she's not plump in any pleasing way, looking more like she just ate a bunch of badly cooked food with too much cheap beer and had it slathered onto her out-of-proportion frame. plus she's annoying.

I think she's HOT - but I would have called her normal, not plump.

― toraneko, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

to clarify, the 'fat chick icon' bit refers to the fact that she's been accepted as one of the personifications of what a 'real' normal-to-vaguely-chunky woman should look like, and i just don't buy it. i guess she's looked cute before on a few instances but there's something strangely mannish about her that strikes me as very unfanciable. and the ANNOYANCE!

― ethan, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i'm with toraneko on this, kate winslet ISN'T fat, she is average sized, healthy, with a pretty face. and she IS hot. i tell ya who annoys the fuck outta me though, sophie dahl. she is neither fat nor hot. she's a token gesture by the fashion industry so they can pretend they cater to large women (that is, if your a size 14 and six feet tall, that's skinny in my books).

― di, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sophie dahl?

― ethan, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I consider Sophie Dahl to be positively slender.

― toraneko, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yow. you're right though, i don't see her as being bigger than any other random model. she's considered fat?

― ethan, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh i get it, she has tits.

― ethan, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

roald dahl's granddaughter!?!?

― ethan, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I love KW's harsh angular face! Rat-up-drainpipe time!

― dave q, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like KW for inspiring my favourite ever ILE thread title. And she's not remotely fat. Overrated FC icons - Queen Latifah.

― Tom, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

She's not overrated. She's absolutely beautiful. I'd do anything to look like her. She's also the first woman I ever had a crush on.

― Melissa W, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Bella Emberg and The Mighty Atom. Just stop going on about them, OK?

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

She's not fucking fat, she's a size 10!

― Madchen, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Kate Winslet is sex on a stick. She has a proper woman's figure. I love her.

Ethan, are you one of those men who sits around in a string vest with your beer gut hanging over your crotch talking about how various famous actresses have "let themselves go"?

― DV, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Overrated: Dawn French.
Not. Funny. At. All. Ever. And annoying.
That moon-faced, bowl-haircut bint from 'Birds of a Feather'.

Kate Winslet is wonderful. Ethan, ain't you seen 'Heavenly Creatures', 'Jude' or 'Quills'? She's HOT to tha MaXxXxXxXxX!

― DavidM, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

if i were that way inclined i would DEFINITELY fancy Kate Winslet. she is woman-shaped, unlike most of the lollipop-heads that pass for actresses these days.

― katie, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

uh...Delta Burke? carol channing?

― Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have to go with the majority on Winslet.

Is there really going to be a series of 10 THREADS?

― the pinefox, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

KW and hat other model are fat? They got hips maybe but it still looks like they have the time of day to count every calorie they eat.

― Mr noodles, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Kate Winslet Bone of Contention in this bitch amazes me. (ANNOYING?)

I think most of the overrated fat icons we'll come up with are simply obese folks we don't consider all that. Like Rosie O'Donnell, that Manheim woman from the Practice, etc.

One that DEFINITELY fits Ethan's strict guidelines is CARNIE WILSON. Of course, she isn't overweight anymore. But having one's stomach stapled on the Internet does seem a bit...

― David Raposa, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

missy elliott, as confirmed by her mawkish 'tribute' to aaliyah at the mtv awards, and her continued foisting of nelly furtado on the culture.

― maura, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dude, people, chill, not to defend Ethan who is just trying to get flamed anyhow, but he did specify what he meant and Kate Winslet fits the definition of what he means, whether or not she actually IS obese.

I think she's pretty but she always looks completely disagreeable, making this odd smirky/"I just smelled something horrid" face that I can't really fathom being attracted to.

Are we really going to go for ten people? Obviously you need to do a Camryn Manheim thread, talk about obnoxious annoying fuckfaces. Is it just me or if she was so damn comfortable with her weight she'd stop talking about it nonstop? I'd be happy for her if she was happy with herself but no one who goes on like that is actually happy, and it's irritating. Plus, she IS very overweight, it's unhealthy. No more or less unhealthy than Lara Flynn Boyle's size, but I don't promote her body either.

― Ally, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I had no idea anyone thought Kate Winslet is plump.

Rosie ODonnel is plain obnoxious, her weight is irrelevant in terms of her annoyingness.

― Samantha, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sophie Dahl's too thin now, I liked her more when she seemed to be about a size 14-16. Well I still like her, I have her picture on the cover of Italian Vogue on my work pc.

― Lesley Higgins, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think I'm the only person who doesn't like Sophie Dahl. It has nothing to do with her supposed size, she just looks gooney to me.

― Ally, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

she looks like a cross between that secretary from ally mcbeal and patsy kensit.

― ethan, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, which is the problem, the Patsy Kensit thing. Weird mouth.

― Ally, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one morning I noticed that without the makeup, earrings and turban she looked a bit like a martian, but she's still cute.

― Lesley Higgins, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I just realized something that should be pointed out: I'd be considered a "big actress" in Hollywood. So I don't know how offended anyone should be by this question anyhow, cos Kate weighs notably more than me. It's just that Hollywood is full of people who look like Courtney Cox (who is ghastly btw).

― Ally, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sophie Dahl and Kate winslet are two of a very short list of woman i might fuck given the oppurtunity.

― anthony, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In Hollywood I'd be considered to be possessed by demons. More, that is.

― maryann, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Kate Winslet Bone of contention is this another way of saying spam javelin>

Um, isn't some of this thread a wee bit sexist, fat bint? Anyway our Kate's a fox (in a non sexist fox kind of way of course).

― Billy Dods, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

five years pass...

and the other nine????

― bobby bedelia (van dover), Sunday, 14 January 2007 08:07 (nineteen years ago)

Sophie Dahl's eyes look a bit disturbing too me - like two hard-boiled eggs.

― Bob Six (bobbysix), Sunday, 14 January 2007 10:05 (nineteen years ago)

Beth Ditto?

― Luke Slater (Alan Bean), Sunday, 14 January 2007 10:59 (nineteen years ago)

Kate Winslet isn't fat!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 14 January 2007 11:25 (nineteen years ago)

how the fuck is beth ditto overrated?

― PAUL FUCKING ROBINSON (electricsound), Sunday, 14 January 2007 11:39 (nineteen years ago)

is there really such a thing as an 'overrated' "fat chick"?

how the fuck is beth ditto overrated?

She got number 1 in the NME Cool List, that's enough for me.

― Luke Slater (Alan Bean), Sunday, 14 January 2007 12:24 (nineteen years ago)

lol kneejerk NME reactionism

Is the Ethan that started this thread the same one we know and love today?

Srsly best anthony quote ever.

This thread is horrifying from beginning to end.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Sunday, 14 January 2007 12:51 (nineteen years ago)

and these are your first posts on it

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 14 January 2007 12:59 (nineteen years ago)

haha

Things can only get better.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Sunday, 14 January 2007 14:09 (nineteen years ago)

i didnt know who sophie dahl was until i read this thread, i image-googled her, yup her eyes freak me out.

i think i get tired of people claiming marilyn monroe as a fat chick icon, saying something about how she was a size 16, yadda yadda, i know we all got into a huge argument about this on some other thread some other time ago - but yeah, not a fat chick.

― i've dreamt of rubies! (Mandee), Sunday, 14 January 2007 17:48 (nineteen years ago)

Someone once said on ILX, of Kate Winslet when she'd ill-advisedly lost a lot of weight for something: "Where have you gone, you squeezy thing?" and I thought it was adorable and never forgot it. Don't remember who, though.

― Laurel (Laurel), Sunday, 14 January 2007 17:54 (nineteen years ago)

Kate Winslet where have you gone you gorgeous squeezy thing

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 14 January 2007 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

― Abbott (Abbott), Sunday, 14 January 2007 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

W: 30

― Abbott (Abbott), Sunday, 14 January 2007 20:47 (nineteen years ago)

not true.

― acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 14 January 2007 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

well, for chicks. but we all know my feelings on this already.

― acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 14 January 2007 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

for chicks it IS, i mean.

― acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 14 January 2007 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

i fear i have misrepresented myself

― acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 14 January 2007 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

abbott you are 5'9"? for some reason i would have guessed you to be like, way petite-ish. which is kind of dumb that i have preconceived ideas about your height.

― i've dreamt of rubies! (Mandee), Monday, 15 January 2007 03:03 (nineteen years ago)

kate winslet is the hotness

― m@p (plosive), Monday, 15 January 2007 03:42 (nineteen years ago)

truth

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Monday, 15 January 2007 04:09 (nineteen years ago)

yeah kate winslet is beautiful.

rosie o'donnell is kind of hideous, but:

a) does anyone "rate" her enough that one could consider her overrated?
b) there are certainly hideouser women physically but her personality is so shrill, bulldykey, and stupid that it makes her come across as that much more unattractive

― shanghaied by the dragon lady (get bent), Monday, 15 January 2007 04:49 (nineteen years ago)

eleven months pass...

Ethan, are you one of those men who sits around in a string vest with your beer gut hanging over your crotch talking about how various famous actresses have "let themselves go"?
