Returning Home, Big Daddy Kane Finds a Much-Changed Brooklyn - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
Remo, Carlos Ayala, Richard Lawler and 3 other people liked this
"As he strolled once more through his native Brooklyn, it was clear Big Daddy Kane had been missed. On the paths of Prospect Park and the streets of Flatbush, men of all ages did double takes, then bumped their fists against their chests in respect. A woman who came out of her store to greet him with a squeal was one of many who asked, “Where you been?” He had been in North Carolina, for nine years now. The rapper, an icon of the late ’80s hip-hop explosion, took a break from performing until promoters came calling about seven years ago, representing a new generation of fans hungry for the biggest acts of the “old school.”"

To answer the "so what" question: because the title of the article bears inspection. The title was not "Does Jessica Simpson look good?" or "What was she thinking wearing those jeans?" - the question is "Did Jessica Simpson get fat?" Which, when one considers it, strikes home at what we as the public believe is "fat". We're bombarded 24/7 by images of what fat is or isn't, so much so that it shapes our own view of ourselves and the people around us. I've never been a fan of people who obsessively ...

workout in an effort to chase an ideal that is not only unobtainable, but frankly, unhealthy.
- Steven Perez
For recent reference of how what we think of as "beauty" is shaped, whether we realize it or not, I refer you to the Faith Hill Redbook Photoshop debacle from two years ago: http://jezebel.com/gossip...
- Steven Perez
@steven: when you put it that way—no, she has not gotten 'fat,' however you'd like to define that term.
- .LAG liked that
Wait, Steven, wait - we're unhealthy because we strive for thinness?? Because our view of what's fat is messed up? Au contraire, mon vieux: we're unhealthy because we're really, really fucking fat. So, whatever we're striving for - obtainable or not - it ain't working.
- Anthony Citrano
And in my view, it's perfectly legitimate to comment on the physical appearance of celebrities who aggressively market themselves as sex symbols.
- Anthony Citrano
No, you miss the point. Fat has nothing to do with this, in so far as the selling of a concept is what's in question. As for the reasons why people are overweight, that goes to the average American diet that is made most affordable for consumption, which is a conversation for another time.
- Steven Perez

Did she get a boob job?
- Mona Nomura
I'm slightly embarassed to admit that I read the article, and it says that Simpson's physique in the "before" picture is the result of working with a personal trainer TWO HOURS A DAY, SIX DAYS A WEEK. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowb...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Damn - edumacted via FriendFeed AGAIN. ;) Good lucks, Musgrave. You always got my back... WAY back.
- Mona Nomura
@Steven: If fat has nothing to do with it, why did you ask if she was fat, then say you thought she was hot not fat, then comment about our warped societal views about what is fat, and finally, say that it's unhealthy we obsess over what is fat or what isn't? That's an awful lot of fat talk for kicking off a conversation that has nothing to do with fatness.
- Anthony Citrano
i am going on my bike now.
- i ♥ derrick #bellymeme
Because the deeper question has to do with marketing and the selling of the idea of fat. Once you drill down long enough, you realize that the top layer - "is she fat" - reveals a deeper truth about what we consider "fat'.
- Steven Perez
from IM
She's not fat; she's thick in the right places. And, those pants are terrible.
- Mike Nayyar
In other words, more a philosophical question of our own outlook rather than just remarking whether or not a person has gained weight and is poorer for it.

I'm sorry if I got too deep on this, Anthony, but that's the way my brain works.
- Steven Perez
And for the record: NOT a big Jessica Simpson fan. :)

Mommy Pants? GAH!
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
I don't think you got too deep, I just disagree with you. I, for one, think America could use quite a bit more fat-obsessing; our obliviousness on this issue is literally killing us. And I think conversations like this one expose our collective social psychosis on the matter.
- Anthony Citrano
Now we're back to "normal" again - as if that's some barometer for what is hot. For me, it ain't; in fact, quite the opposite. But that's me; if "normal" floats your boat, that's fine. On the upside: the world is full of it, so it sure does make curating one's life a lot easier.
- Anthony Citrano
Everyone is right. We obsess over fat. I could throw Jessica Simpson across a room, yet she is being called fat. If SHE is fat, what's normal? At the same time, we live sedentary lifestyles and eat garbage all day long. We think exercise is optional. As far as body image goes, Americans are pretty screwed.

For the record, when I said she looks normal, I meant that I see nothing wrong with the way she looks. There's nothing abnormal about her appearance. Gaining some weight doesn't make her any less pretty. It just shows how superficial and shallow some people can be.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
she's a hot size 12 (or more) and she was a hot size 6 (or less). she gained so much weight I had to verify that it was actually her.. then wondered if she was pregnant. Rapid weight gain not healthy. killing yourself in the gym isn't healthy either.
- Jasmin Smith
When I stop eating I'm mean, angry & hungry. She looks amazing no matter what size she is. She looks happy.
- @CrystalinaB
Until we disconnect the fat conversation and the healthy conversation it's just one group of people using a superficial standard to judge another group of people to boost their own self worth. Everyone, thin, fat, anywhere in between, who is able, needs to exercise daily, or near it. Everyone needs to eat healthfully & mindfully without obsessing. I know people who weigh 350+ who are triatheletes, and thin folks with type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It's what you do, not what you look like.

Honestly I could give a crap what size she is, or what size anybody thinks she is. Never been interested in her in the slightest, and frankly I'm sick of this obsession trash rags like Perez Hilton and The Superficial have who do nothing but talk about how much someone weighs, while they choke down a bag of powdered donuts in their mothers basement. Fuck those assholes. If Jessica wants a sandwich, fucking give the girl a sandwich. :P

She didn't get fat but she has unquestionably gained a few pounds, I like my ladies to have curves but too be honest I prefer her in the skinny version, her face is lots prettier. Thats not superficial thats the way I feel. I heard somewhere that half the England Rugby team are technically obese as they are 25stone+ but they are most certainly not fat let alone obese.
- Toby Graham
health doesn't strictly follow a weight graph. I keep telling all these people that obsess over calories that there's more to eating right than the amount of calories you take in. Ignore them and try to eat a varied range (including fatty and carb heavy because that's the best source of energy for the body) and then, most importantly *be active*. If you get on the bus to work why not jog tot he next stop down? Or if it's already a decent distance just jog to that one. Use the stairs more and elevator less.
- alphaxion
it's easy to figure out little ways of spending energy. Jiggle your legs up and down while sat down.. Any diet that says "I'm not allowed that" is a bad diet! Also, reduce your portions. If you get a big portion, leave some on the plate!
