They have the shapes of models and beauty contestants, smack in the healthy BMI range, the type the Biggest Losers aspire for. Unless you're positing someone like Christina Hendricks, in which case it may not be a bad idea to upsize if they have those assets.

A frozen sucker??? I think I've heard of that term before, but it's so rarely used and I thought it referred more to lolipops than popsicles...

Common!!! That's just ridiculous. It's a safety hazard both for her and those behind her. That umbrella is blocking her rear view even if she turns her head and blocks the view of those trailing her.
A strong gust of wind in any direction will alter her balance as well possibly causing her and the kid behind her to fall into traffic.
Getting a lil sun on your skin is good! Must be a mainland thing because I don't see Asian Americans doing things
Like that.

So true.. a little sun is ok..too much over a period can be dangerous. In China..well I think they go overboard. I don't understand it. Not at all.

When I lived San Diego occasionally you'd see an older Asian woman with an umbrella on a bright hot sunny day.. but not very often.

In general across the US you just don't see folks covering up in the warm sun.No matter the pigmentation of their skin.

Now preacher man.. watch it.

We once in our church had a visiting preacher that stated is not normal to be that thin. And it was un-attractive and unhealthy. He stated if you are that thin you must be lacking certian nutrition and that will effect not only your body but your mind....he stated the same thing about obese people. He was trying to get folks attention about their physical well being.

By the way I think those young women are models not athletes.

aaaaaaaRRRRRRRRVVVVVVVVV! ye be right! aaarrrrrvvvvv? Yes the honey-badger is in great shape, prolly about their size, but quite an athlete, yes I do get accused of robbing the cradle, and I'll never tell, specially since her fangs are very near my neck as I type this, aaaaarrrrrrvvvvvv!

Vorn Pov (C), president of the Independent Democratic Association of Informal Economy, and other detainees are trucked from Prey Sar prison to hear a verdict at Phnom Penh Municipal Court in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, May 30, 2014.

SteelBird · May 31, 2014

I call this type of verdict "political". All types of protests, verdicts and whatsoever which happen here in Cambodia are all self interest or political motivated. Very few of them are really for the benefit of workers. The release of the 23 activists is due to external pressure. It's not made according to law.

For the second photo, in case someone don't understand what they are doing, it's a type of damnation or curse. I don't really understand the detail of that either.
