Nah it's the picture. She's cute and chubby.

Well, I went and looked again because I hate to contradict a lady, but I just see a bug-eyed woman with a weak chin. But hey, maybe there's a Thandie Newton in there just struggling to come out. (There may be 2 or 3.) Thandie is stunning. She's like a high-calorie dessert version of Audrey Hepburn.

Thandie is English. More to the point half Zimbabwean and English. Plus she's an actress and takes care of herself. She has to look good like every other actress.

Women who are not attractive tend to compensate in other areas. What I do not like is the passive acceptance of being overweight, thick, queenly,whatever as a sign of a woman's black pride. My black friends love to point out that black girls don't get anorexic like white girls. Well being overweight isn't really any better is it?
