Christina Hendricks, a Vision in Lilac

Fans of Mad Men or undoubtedly jazzed about the show's recent Emmy wins. And surely those fans have also caught a photo or two of the three actresses from the series photographed on the red carpet. While January Jones went super modern and a tad risky, Elizabeth Moss and Christina Hendricks went ultra glam. But it's not actually what Christina is wearing that has my attention, but the body underneath.


It's no surprise that Christina has been reporting having difficulty finding a designer dress in her size. Last year she reported the same problem drawing some attention to her already eye popping figure. So, you would think this year would have been easier for her, since you know, she's super famous now. Get it together you designers out there! Who wouldn't want this vixen shimmying down the red carpet in one your gowns?

Some articles are actually reporting Christina's size which, for most of us would be horrifying. But supposedly these estimates are from a dress she donated to an auction that was measured. So I guess I can't get too mad at the media for that one. So, girls, here they are:

Christina Hendrick's reported size is somewhere between a 12 and 14. Don't we all have a few different sizes in our closet? Her measurements are reportedly 39-30-39 and her bust is either a DD or DDD. Take a good look at those numbers. Christina's body is beautiful. She was voted the sexiest woman in the country. She plays the role in Mad Men of the sexy, smart, office manager, who is often sought after and flirted with. She is bigger than many of the actresses on the show and she was chosen to play the voluptuous and fiery Joan. And on top of all of that, she says she is just fine with her body and declined the request to lose weight early on in her acting career.

You are beautiful and a role model, Christina! Congrats to you and your cast mates on the Emmy!

Taking it All Off

Whitney Thompson, the first plus sized winner of America's Next Top Model has recently stripped down in support of Love Your Body Day. Thompson, an ambassador for the National Eating Disorder Association is making an attempt to show women they can be beautiful at any size. Check out the photos as well as more information about this cause, and get ready to love your body for one day (and hopefully beyond) on October 23rd.
