I used to read all those magazines trashy magazines and wish I had celebritys bodies and at this point, I think there are way too many celebs not eating enough to want to look at them all day. If I were to pick a body, it would be Lindsay Lohan - before she stopped eating!
I admire a lot of bodies, both famous and not. At the same time, when it comes to comparing myself to others, I try to make sure I consider body type - I'm never going to have Fergie's body, for instance, since I'm too hourglass-y... my hips would never allow it! (Though I definitely love Beyonce's hips - that's a look my body COULD reach!) The same way that Beyonce and Fergie will never have the same body, I accept that my body is going to look a certain way and to wish for tiny narrow hips is just going to be futile.
The bodies I think of for myself are often '40s and '50s stars and pinups - Betty Grable, Rita Hayworth, Jane Russell. Among more modern actresses, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Salma Hayek are curvy bodies I could emulate.
I admire fit, gorgeous bodies on a lot of women - Keira Knightly had a gorgeous body (before she got scary thin), but I admire it without beating myself up for not looking like that, since my body will never look like that without removal of bone!
I've always thought that Kate Winslet has an absolutely divine body-- she's thin but still womanly, and looks like she takes care of herself but certianly doesn't starve or spend impossible amounts of time at the gym.
Pft, I tried to add an image but it won't let me click on any of the icons! What the crap is going on with my computer today?!
Here's a Kate Winslet pic for you. I agree that she looks great!
I have to be realistic about who I think I actually COULD look like, as other's here have said some celebrity bodies would be simply impossible for me, no matter what I weighed. I like Drew Barrymore, she's curvy and healthy looking, not super thin, and she's short like me!
As you guys have all said, it makes no sence to aim for a body that you can't have, however, christina has the same petite but curvy figure as me All I need it to drop like 45 pounds..fun! Not...really.
Oh but if I could have any body? Jessica Alba...or Britney when she was hot!
