Don't fall flat, Gok!

I love Gok Wan, I really do. Who doesn't? Well maybe your boyfriend, I know I'd trade any guy in for a few hours of tough love and confidence boosting with Gok! But a recent show left me a bit miffed.

I've been waiting for a woman like Jenny to come on How To Look Good Naked for a long time; finally someone who doesn't hate themselves because they are 'too big'. On my own blog I've spoke about skinny bashing before, where thinner people can be an accepted target to poke fun at, but, to put it plainly, calling someone fat would be hurtful. It's OK to say Nicole Richie and Amy Winehouse are disgustingly thin but Beth Ditto is praised, yet is clinically obese like half the population. This is another debate though.

I was a bit huffy while watching this show last week because Jenny was continuously called 'flat-chested.' In reality, her chest isn't flat at all, infact is it even possible to have a totally flat bust? I was glad that someone could represent how, just because you are a size 8, it doesn't mean you feel desirable or love your body. You are not neccessarily more lucky or attractive than a size 16. Surely there was a nicer way to talk about Jenny's body as she has 'bangers', 'knockers' and 'bad boys' too, like every other woman on the show. It's known that Gok Wan loves them but if someone called me flat-chested, it would be insulting. He doesn't call half the women on the show fat. Sort it out Gok, I still love you!
