Book Reviews of Skinny Women Are Evil: Notes of a Big Girl in a Small-Minded World
Book Review: Unfortunately, it's true
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to weigh 130-35 and was in great shape. That was after I got out of basic training in the military. Unfortunately, I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which makes it all to easy to put on weight due to a hormone imbalance. When I came down with CFIDS in addition, I gained about 70 lbs. I am now trying to lose it. I am not a small female to begin with - I am 5'6" with a large frame, so the smallest I can get into is about a 12.
I have been bashed frequently for being "large" in terms of both weight and size - I have an explanation for the men who do it (usually ugly, angry, couldn't get laid on Sunset, small weenie complex, and need a target) - generally the type that go for Asian women.
Some females also pull this garbage (generally same problems as above) - but the heat taken by large women from the thin mall chick types, who look by their own standards pretty good, mystifies me. Are they really happy as they are, or miserable because of their low cal diets that turn them into "lollipops" (heads out of proportion to bodies)? Why are they so mean if all it takes is good clothes and thinness to be happy and to fit in?
Monique doesn't really explain this but does a good job of pointing it out. There really are such people in the environment, they ARE evil, and I blame it mostly on 2 dimensionality and low IQ. After all, who has nothing better to do than diss people for what they look like, while spending most of their time on their appearance? Otherwise, I would have to assume that, as Monique insists, that men are attracted to women with some meat on their bones. And the skinny evil ones are worried.
Monique, you look great no matter what size - as for me, I'd look better with a little less. Thanks for writing the book. Here's another one: You're so skinny you look like a Pez dispenser with a b*tch head.
Summary of Skinny Women Are Evil: Notes of a Big Girl in a Small-Minded World
It is NO secret that I am a BIG girl.Always have been, always will be.
The only way I'll ever wear a size 6, or even a 16, is if you add them together. That's right: I wear a size 22. And I'm proud, because I wear it well.
Hell, even Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder can see that!
Such is the life -- and largesse -- of Mo'Nique, one of America's best-loved plus-size personalities. "I really wish I didn't have to write this book," writes Mo'Nique. "But it appears I have no choice. Especially when BIG girls are still subjected to ridicule simply because we've been blessed with a few extra pounds." In Skinny Women Are Evil, Mo'Nique strips away the stigma of being weight-challenged and introduces a new vocabulary in which F.A.T. is FABULOUS AND THICK and a woman who is "skinny" is just plain evil. Why? Because America gives them the comfortable airline seats, the fashionable clothes, and the lead roles in the Hollywood blockbusters. So how can a F.A.T. girl learn to operate in the it's-a-small-world after all? In this hilarious, heartwarming book, women of all sizes, shapes, and colors can benefit from Mo'Nique's Fat Girls' Survival Tips, a handy Thin-O-Meter, and a generous portion of advice about dating, eating, dressing, undressing, and much more.
Skinny Women Are Evil is Mo'Nique's testament to living large and loving it. So go on, dig in!
