Remember this? Because I sure do, even though I never really made it past the picture … so who knows what it says? But now Meghan McCain is complaining about… big fake boobs?
…lately I’ve noticed a more celebratory and mainstream acceptance of women who undergo augmentation surgery versus those of us whose breasts come from nature.
I guess she was upset with People magazine because they put Heidi Montag and her new magnificent breasts on their cover. Because, as she put it:
Growing up, I always thought of People magazine as the classiest of the tabloids.
Really? People?
And then Meghan got a little miffed by New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn, who wrote about Christina Hendricks — the chick in Mad Men (that hit TV drama that I can’t be bothered to watch):
As one stylist said, “You don’t put a big girl in a big dress. That’s rule number one.”
And then Meghan is all, “Would Christina Hendricks still be considered “big” if she had fake breasts instead of real ones?
Yes. I saw the pictures, and yeah she’s got some big boobs, but I hate to break this to Meghan: I think that was a nice way of saying you don’t stuff a size 15 into a size 10 dress. If you want my opinion, and you know you do, I think Meghan’s biggest problem is that you can now buy a gift from God. You don’t have to be born with it.
Oh, but wait … there’s more from Horyn:
Similarly, Jessica Simpson recently went out to dinner in a low-cut dress, leading to instant drama in the Twitterverse.
US Weekly even ran a story about it: “Jessica Simpson’s Big Breasts Are the Butt of Internet Jokes.” In 2004, Jessica’s creepy dad Joe told an interviewer, “She’s got double Ds! You can’t cover those suckers up!” Amen brother.
But Jessica insists hers aren’t fake. So… What?
Here’s Meghan again:
Women with small breasts feel shamed or pressured into having cosmetic surgery to increase their breast size. Once they do, they are seemingly allowed to display them for all the world to see—as though we, too, are actually invested in this investment. Meanwhile, women with real breasts are shamed and pressured into only wearing high-cut dresses and blouses (or better, yet, turtlenecks!) lest they be ridiculed.
Really? Because I thought all women were pressured into showing cleavage, whether it came from God almighty or Dr. 90210. Are we from the same planet?
Meghan seems kinda all over the map here. Or maybe it’s all this talk of big boobs that’s got me disoriented.
And this story went on way to long for me. Is this what it’s like to have a baby? I bet it is.
Big real boob cleavage good. Big fake boob cleavage bad. I started doing some research to clarify this, but it’s the Internet and, well… you know. Hey — you do a Google image search for Jessica Simpson Big Boobs.
What am I, made of stone?

Huh, sorry?

Contains footage of bare boobs so puritans beware! All others, enjoy.
I’m “built like a brick house” like my grandfather used to say (not about me, I was 9) and on some level I can relate. I’ve had it implied more than once that my showing any cleavage at all is simply a vulgar show-off but I think what Meghan doesn’t want to face is that it’s got nothing to do with real or fake. Pretty girls can do whatever they like. It’s only the boringly average and unattractive that need to cover those suckers up.
I’m not well-endowed, but I’ve got enough to make for cleavage if I wanna.
And when I wanna, I’m gonna.
You just try and stop me.
It’s all a matter of how it’s done…and the environment you’re in. Plus, I always was a fan of only picking one half of my body to barely clad at any given point in time.
Boob cop? Is that a real job, and are they hiring?
i really wish people would stop quoting and giving that NYTs reporter more press than shes already gotten in their articles. she’s ignorant and ridiculous and to think that girl even qualified as a big girl makes her downright insane.
Too much sausage in the casing my mum would say.
Heh, Jenn, that’s exactly what I was gonna say. “Whoa. Ten pounds of sausage in five pounds of casing.”
I admit, I wear boulder holders because I have too. I even had breast reduction surgery because my back was so bad. I do show cleavage when appropriate, just not at work.
Oh, Lord, Meghan, just shut up and stop talking, now and for all time, because every time you open your mouth–or hit the keyboard–it’s like watching someone pee herself in public, and try to act like she hasn’t. Just SHUT. UP.
That said, her sniffy pearl-clutching about boobfakery comes across as old-money bitching about the nouveau riche. “They just let anyone go to college or buy a beach house nowadays.”
If her options are to fade out of the public’s sight, or stay in it by being this egregiously stupid, she really ought to consider the former the better choice.
The only topic where Miss McCain can claim to be an expert.
I’d be interested to know what hard hitting stories she thinks People broke away from to cover Heidi? Haiti? Iran?
Compared to Speidi, EVERYTHING is in depth and hard hitting.
Psh, AllyKat, you just don’t understand how totalee famuss n importent Speidi is.
Uch, now she’s calling Tea Partiers racists. Meghan, we know you’re obsessed with having boobs. Why you gotta BE one?
See, Meghan is what would happen if men were put in women’s bodies for a day, or so I’ve been told. They’d waste the entire day staring at and obsessing over their own boobs. They might never leave the shower.
I dunno if it’s true; Pasta and Fortunate Son, your thoughts?
Where is Jrod these days, anyway?
He’s probably taking some time off to make headway on the backlog of things to hit, Beige.
That’s what I thought. Sometimes I wish he’d LITERALLY hit things, even though I know that violence is so, so wrong and we should never, EVER do it.
……another tshirt I shall one day purchase: Knowing is half the battle. The other half is violence.
What is it with fake boobs? They are not cool at all.
