Not sure this was a good move for her, given the negatives that actresses get for being too thin.

(20,176 posts)I think it's both healthy and brave of her to post this. Just because she's skinny and pretty doesn't mean she doesn't face the same issues of hating her body and nitpicking her flaws that most women do.

she looks exactly how anybody would look after being tormented for her body by gossip magazines for years !!!!!!

(20,176 posts)she went in for a boob job and liposuction, her surgeon was a hack...and she came out of surgery with crooked breasts and a lumpy midsection that required multiple surgeries to correct. The crazy part is now that she got it all fixed, she wants more surgery to do the things the first surgeon screwed-up...bigger boobs, smaller waist and six-pack abs.

(46,757 posts)I had a friend in college who was a rail and not much to look at. Very mousy-looking. Her sense of humor and poise, however, was beauty in action.
I saw her once after college. She went to New York and had joined a communications firm. I didn't recognize her. She had not gained any weight, but the clothes were perfect for her body and her hair was sleek and sharp. Not to mention make-up that accentuated features that I didn't know she had.
Now, if a person has money, that's how it should be spent to look good.

(2,190 posts)that doesn't look like her. If I am wrong then it's an old picture and just odd because I don't think she ever looked like that. I am not a Tara Reid expert though.

(4,299 posts)I wiki'd because I didn't know what her roles have been.

(12,821 posts)I also didn't think she looked too much like herself there, but maybe I'm just used to seeing the too-skinny Reid. However, this pic and others at link below are from a "Sharknado 2" press event just this week, so maybe she is doing/feeling/looking better these days.
Is the twitter pic really from this week, too??

(46,757 posts)Compared to what she looked like after the botched surgery, this is a major improvement.
I'm impressed because I want to get some age spots off my face and I've been told that they can't do it without leaving a scar.

(14,275 posts)Too fat. Too thin. That part is too large. That part is too small. Too young. Too old.
No one is perfect. And what one person does not care for, surprisingly, another finds attractive.
A woman in bikini. OK. Let's leave it at that.
