Re Positivity Panel

Christine hosting. Katie, Dame Kelly, Judi, Sophie, Gloria on panel.

Of the panel only Katie and Sophie have real reasons to fit negativity about their bodies. By that I mean we all have our hang ups but having Dame K talking about the loss of her six pack sitting next to a victim of a hideous crime and an accident victim who have respectively ended up as scarred and in a wheelchair is embaressing. Kelly can muscle train, Judi can lose weight, Gloria is in supreme good form for someone in their 80s. Their “stories” are valid I guess (everyone feels what they feel) but set beside hard, real and unchanging issues like those that Katie and Sophie face on a daily basis is ridiculously bad taste.

Having to switch off just after the second part.Kudos to Carol McGiffin who is not on the panel but in the segment on the photoshoot. She says her bunion bothers her more than the loss of her breast when she takes her clothes off!

I know she’s not on the panel but she was part of the photo shoot but there is also Carol who now has one breast due to breast cancer

But to be fair lots of people have hang ups about their own bodies even if in somebody else’s eyes their body looks perfect

Yeah, I added Carol to my post just after I typed the other bit. I was watching on catch up.

We do all feel what we feel but having Kelly sitting there next to Katie talking about her diminished body tone was a juxtaposition too far.
 
Watching Fri ep on catch up. The live one isn’t on. On Fri ep Linda gave strong hints about her moribund marriage. They were talking about star signs and LR is a Pisces. Nadia said that Pisces were sexually compatible with Scorpio. LR said Sagittarius aren’t, that’s my husband’s star sign. The rest of the panel tried to move her on. She said something about not getting any. They have either split, or he no longer wants a sexual relationship with her. If he is still with her and she is saying this, I would be having words with her. It is massively disrespectful to your partner.
 
I think the best way to inspire body confidence is just to get on with it and be happy in your own body, not to parade yourself on a billboard for shock value. The last time they did it, they used a black and white filter on the picture, which hides stretch marks and rosacea anyway, defeating the objective!

It's a farce. These campaigns don't change anything. I don't look at them in those photos and feel any differently about my body lol.

I’m still annoyed that Gloria is wearing a jacket, what’s the point in her even being on it if she’s hiding what she doesn’t like about herself!

And it just perpetuates that how you look like is all that concerns women, or is no 1 on their list.

Denise keeping illustrious company. At Michael Caine’s 90th birthday do. Telling a risqué joke. Yes that is Tom Cruise pissing himself at the end.
