Scary Spice is, well, scary - Page 2

I concur Richard. She's not attractive anymore.

Nah, she's still attractive. It's just she's less attractive that she previously was.

Yeah, she's not hideous now, but damn, back at the Spice Girls' height, she was pretty damn awesome.

Are those Abs belt people kidding me with that walking in public wearing an ab workout belt with my girlfriend openly thing ? Wouldn't that be something I'd buy in secret shame under a code name and hide from both the public AND my girlfriend ?

Okay, but she's got no goddamn hips.

Was I the only one who liked Sporty the best?

Sporty = instant flaccidity.

It makes me sad to think of all the people wasting large chunks of their lives in gyms to achieve that hideous plastic GI Joe doll look with the veins and ripply muscles.

Maybe I just don't relate to the rest of humanity that much but how is it attractive again? It doesn't matter if we're talking about a guy or a girl, when I see someone with that hideous body builder physique my first thought is disgust at how they look and my second thought is sadness that they spent hours and hours doing repetitive exercises to make themselves look like that on purpose.

Personally I'd rather be a little squishy and curvy if it means I have time to live my life rather than devoting it all to worrying about what I eat or how many crunches I do in a day... I still think it's great to be in shape and have some muscle tone but there is such a thing as overkill!

Well, I can only speak for myself, but NO.

Sporty's looking mighty fine these days. Somehow the other girls seem to have absorbed Geri Halliwell's hotness.

That are some rock hard abs.

I read somewhere that there was a point during our hunter/ gatherer days where the average human body looked like it was ripped out of a comic book.

However, I don't see why people that were disciplined enough to get in premium shape should be put down while people that "enjoy" life by not moving around all day should be put up. No one ever said that the ripped Men's/Women's Health magazine bodies should be the average standard, but saying that it's not "attractive" isn't entirely fair. It is our "ideal" in health and beauty. Just like Olympic athletes are our ideal representation of human potential in sports. There will always be an ideal form of beauty that the majority of society won't attain. As always though, it won't affect people getting getting married, having babies or getting on with their lives. I don't see why people shouldn't devote themselves to it the same way one could put their energy into anything else. Does Bill Gates really need all that money ?

It kind of reminds me of intelligent people being called "eggheads" and being picked on because they devoted their energy to a particular field of study. Not everyone gets disciplined and in shape for body image alone. However, for someone like Mel B, who is in the Entertainment Business and has an image to maintain, it's not entirely a bad thing for her to have a nice body.

Either way I'm sure there's something you yourself have devoted more energy to than anyone else that didn't affect the way you enjoy life. For you maybe enjoying life means not doing a bunch of repetitive exercises, but for others it doesn't really affect anything. There are people out there who thrive and draw pride simply from self discipline.

I hope you did not take offense to anything I typed here. I'm simply trying to make a point. I apologize if I seemed rude about anything.

No offense taken, this is what CHUD is all about man!

I guess I've always found the idea of working out for no other reason than to look better without a shirt on a little silly. I mean, I know we're all shallow narcissistic beings and that's just the way it is so to an extent there's nothing wrong with working out or worrying about your diet or spending time shopping for clothes and thinking about hair and makeup and shit like that, we all wanna look good. It's just that when someone seems to be devoting MOST OF THEIR LIFE to pumping iron in the gym and drinking protein shakes and taking drugs just so that they can show off their six pack at the beach it seems like a colossal waste to me. I mean, the other things you mentioned had some useful purpose at least.

And when I said that bodybuilder look isn't attractive I truly meant it. Muscles can be very sexy, in shape is sexy, but I'm not talking about a normal level of muscle, we're talking Scary Spice. We're talking someone who clearly spends 4 hours a day lifting weights who's all bloated and orange and veiny. I've never understood bodybuilder guys SHOWING OFF that look as if it's something to be proud of, if I looked like THIS I would never want to show my hideous deformed looking body to anyone.

Edited to add that I feel the same way about obsessive bodybuilding as I do about obsessive plastic surgery. I look at these people and think 'Wait, you did that to yourself ON PURPOSE?'

I liked Baby. But then again, I am registered. Actually, I liked Ginger the most - she seemed nicely trampy.

Did anyone ever think Posh was hot, though? Even back in the 'Wannabe' era?

Edited to add: Jesus Christ, Werewolf Girl! Is that photo doctored? That's not ripped; that's a fucking syndrome. Someone start a telethon for that poor fucker, stat!

The photo is obviously faked. There's heavily roided (which that guy definitely is, without any romoshopping), and then there's going beyond the boundaries of what the human skeleton can actually handle.

Werewolf Girl - each to their own and all that, I certainly wouldn't tell you what to think. But you bring up a point that I find ALOT with females that I talk to - some of them are even regular gym goers.

You said that Scary has an unnatural amount of muscle, but that's clearly not true. She's lean. She isn't carrying any excessive bulk at all. She's in good shape, and just has a ridiculously low body-fat percentage. But oversized? Not at all. I mentioned earlier, and I stand by it, that I severely doubt she'd weigh more than 130lbs . . . and I'd challenge anyone to convince me that in the real world, that constitutes a big girl.

I can appreciate that not everybody is into the fitness look. I'm a gymrat, I admit. I'll also point out that my main motivation when I first started was to get into the best shape I could be so that I could always be there for my wife and so she could always depend on me for the rest of our lives and never have to worry about my health (when we were planning the wedding, I wasn't such a pretty sight). But I always find there being a very large misconception that -

Lean/ripped = too big.

It's simply not true. Scary would weigh bugger all by the looks of her, and it's the hard definition in her muscles that gives the illusion of size as opposed to much softer curves. Do an image search for any of the top girls in the fitness/figure world (Jen Hendershott, Timea Majarova, and my personal dream girl, Pauline Nordin being good examples). And then realise that the average girl in that industry is 5'0" - 5'3" and around 105-120lbs (of course, that's on-season, and the onstage pics are NOT a look that is maintained all year round - that's just plain unhealthy).

Nopety-nope-nope. Sporty is quite cute, and for my money appeared to be the only one down-to-earth enough to roll around with a civilian...
...aaaaaand thank *you* sir! Welcome back to the rotation, Ms. Sport.

Not to mention that she was the only one that could actually kind of sing.

Actually, I did. I thought she was pretty attractive up until she moved to LA and began sporting the Neo Nazi look.

You are right, she's not hot at all right now...

That woman is fucking gross.

I have always thought Posh was the most attractive.

That's always been a plus for me...being able to actually *do* something well. I mean, it's all well and good to be pretty and a good dancer in a manufactured pop band, but give me the one with some actual talent every time.

Godspeed. She creeps the fuck out of me. I have an extremely difficult time imagining how that creature could possible be interested in *anything* other than how she is perceived.

And I sincerely doubt that she would ever deign to touch a penis, lest she get sweaty or gross.

I guess I just subscribe to the classic Renaissance aesthetic where men look like Michaelangelo's David, but women look like Botticelli's Venus (or Monica Bellucci).

By all means, GIS her. You won't be sorry.

Not to mention that she appears to be a giant See You Next Tuesday. Ever see her monumentally uncomfortable interview with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show from earlier in the decade?

Had to do a quick search of the old UD to figure out See You Next Tuesday...I love the internet.

I don't remember the interview, but again, thanks to the internet and thedailyshow.com, that will be soon remedied.

Back in the day, Posh was my favorite. She has been quite frightening for several years now. She looks like a Fembot.

I think my problem with female-bodybuilding (not female fitness in general), is that they need breast implants to retain any vestige of femininity in the extreme cases.

This is madness. Well, unless you just don't like breasts.

NSFW:
Before and After

Seriously, there's no comparison in those pictures. None.

I am a boob man, without question. Can't get enough, and I will do stupid things for boobs. I appreciate natural ones as well. Some ladies, though, just can't or don't want to pull it off. Implants are a wonderful, wonderful thing.

I agree with this, actually. As far as fitness and figure class goes (I got no interest in the bodybuilding class at all), the whole idea as a sport is obviously to showcase the ultimate in what is physically possible in terms of muscle hardness and lean body composition, while yet maintaining your femininity (this being the obvious distinction between bodybuilding and figure/fitness classes). Of course, when a woman strips down to 4-6% bodyfat for competition season, how the hell are they meant to maintain any kind of breast tissue, which is, of course, one of the main features of the female physique? I've always found that part of the sport a bit warped and unfair on the contestants.

Richard - Timea. Sigh.

Me too! http://www.egotastic.com/entertainme...-issues-004697

She was always my favorite.

She's smoking hot and all... But I just can't get over the fact that they make US Weekly pillows.

Ugh, if you like lumpy surgically implanted jelly bags...

& oddly enough, alot of guys do.

There's nothing lumpy about the picture I posted. A gal I know now has a pair that are out of this world and are better than any natural ones I've had since I was a young punk in college.

To each their own, but the broad generalizations are crazy. Would you prefer some nice orange-in-a-sock naturals?

Don't get me wrong Poulsonator. I have no problem with fake boobs as long as they look nice.

I was a huge Spice Girls fan and I thought Posh was the shit. Now she looks eerily like a mannequin I saw in the mall last weekend.

There will be plenty of time in the future for meat on her bones. Since she is performing in Peepshow in Las Vegas, I would assume she'd need to be in great shape to perfrom 6 nights a week.

Even if they don't come out lumpy they're still totally fake, and you know they exist because the girl was vain enough to get serious painful elective surgery that involves cutting little holes in her boobs and squeezing bags through them...

Is our culture really so screwed up that no one thinks this is weird anymore? Plastic surgery is our version of foot binding or any other kind of self mutilation for the sake of fashion throughout history, it's icky.

Why is this considered attractive...


And this considered barbaric?


My guess is that if more men were into tiny feet than big boobs foot binding would still be popular.

Foot binding was as much about keeping women subservient as it was about aesthetics.

True, but you can make the same arguments about a lot of things that are still accepted in our culture. I mean, long nails, high heels and skirts are all great ways to keep women physically helpless and in need of a strong man to open the pickle jar for her.

I don't think our plastic surgery obsession has anything to do with oppression but it's still a case of people damaging themselves for the sake of vanity and insecurity. I look at nose jobs and implants the same way I look at bound feet and lip discs and neck rings and corsets. You only need to look at the Bad Plastic Surgery Thread to see plenty of bizarre examples of the things people will do to themselves for the sake of 'beauty'

Having said that I'm still not really against plastic surgery I guess. Of course if someone was in an accident or something and needs it that's just fine, and although I think cutting yourself up for the sake of vanity is stupid I wouldn't support making it illegal because I believe we should all have the freedom to make our own bad decisions.

I don't know, this is more of a directionless rant than anything else. Since clearly there are people who enjoy squeezing silicone bags rather than actual breasts and women who are willing to stuff themselves with said silicone bags I guess this isn't a trend that's going away any time soon.

My kendo sparring partner once had me guess whether her breasts are natural or implants. Now, living in germany at that time, I was pretty sure I would have heard about it if she had gotten plastic surgery, since we are friends since teenager years, so I said no, but they looked very.... I dont know, the way many fake breasts look.
She said that you can imitate a lot of the effect of moderate implants by good old-fashioned training of the pectoral muscles.

I never bothered to check up on it, but it makes sense from what I know about anatomy, and they did look excellent (and gladly, I didnt even get into trouble for it )

So I guess implants arent just popular because they make you pretty, they are popular because they save you a lot of sweat, workout, and possibly the unwanted sideffects of training which kinda makes it hard to still get the coveted praying mantis shape

But.... they're BOOBS! Why can't we just let boobs be boobs? Why do you either have to get surgery on them or spend hours working them out? I'm honestly confused....

Why is it acceptable to horribly damage the skin on your legs by scraping it with a razorblade several times a week?

Everyone is motivated by vanity and insecurity to some degree. Letting it bother you seems awfully prickly to me.

I don't see the problem working them out so they achieve a more natural lift, rather than becoming all saggy and droopy. What's wrong with that?

I'll be the fence rider here--I love boobs, I worship boobs, and have a hard time finding women who don't have much to show appealing. But I only go for the au natural kind. I've gotten my hands on a fake rack before--it didn't turn me on the same way. There's all sorts of fascination to be had by a naturally swaying set of breasts--something even the finest tit job won't provide.

That said, if a girl is fit with a naturally huge rack, well...assuming she can string an interesting set of sentences together into a conversation, I've found my dream girl.

ETA: This might be the most graphically weird thing I've posted on CHUD. That I remember, anyway.

Her name is Rosario Dawson.
