Can't find it on the website. - Karen Myers Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:06:43 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-13652 Uhhhhh..Tracy Morgan on the cover? Have any of you ladies ever even seen his stand-up show? It's disgusting, vile, insulting and unfunny. And it's pretty damn insulting to women. Why are you guys putting him on the cover, much less in the magazine? Because of 30 Rock? That's a television character. Check out what the real man has to say. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvwHcaIus6Y&feature=PlayList&p=F39F6F0C7E1D76C2&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=100 - ladymia69 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:10:02 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-13071 God I love Wendy McClure. No, really. I want to be her :P - Pennie Sun, 07 Mar 2010 07:38:05 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-12848 I'll co-sign on the comments left by issy & Snow White. I'm a slender sister who has been a BUST subscriber since 2003. Have tolerated those skinny vs curvey debates in the BUST pages & forums. My subscription is under the user name provided here & it expired with the Dec Jan issue. For a while i've debated renewing it as it appears I cannot escape that "which size/shape matters" dialogue, even with BUST. It is a 'big' part of the reason i no longer feel part of the B demographic. The $20 is still in my purse, I think it will stay there a while longer. - mc filley Sat, 27 Feb 2010 14:41:22 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-12810 Let's all just be happy and glamourous together, no matter the size. Girlfriends I am a size 14, i'm healthy happy in love, in school doing what I need to do to get by. Let's all just do what we need to do to get by. - Alessa Thu, 25 Feb 2010 12:52:26 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-12570 As a petite woman I have responded to comments on how "skinny" I am by saying that may be so "only by comparison". I'm tiny, and always have been. It is only when we start to compare that the labels of "big" and "small" start to appear. I am ME - not big or small - simply wonderful ME :) - dreamer Fri, 05 Feb 2010 14:22:42 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-12438 I just want to say that I have been both bigger (over 200 after having my baby) and way too super skinny also.... you get love and hate no matter what you are so maybe lets just love each other more because there is something beautiful about each and every one of us! I also want to say thanks to BUST for featuring a pair of "hug trees" arm warmers in one of their photos! pg35 :P you guys are awesome! - lovefuzz Sat, 30 Jan 2010 10:36:06 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-12285 I have to disagree with your position that "real women have two X chromosomes," smartcookie! Because I know of a few very wonderful real women who do not have two X chromosomes. However, we do have the same position on body love. Let's not hate on larger sizes OR smaller sizes, but value all women's shapes as REAL and BEAUTIFUL. Thank you! - cinnabun Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:27:13 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-12128 Real women have two X chromosomes. That's it. I am a larger woman and while I do appreciate seeing other "larger" women in magazines and the media, I don't agree with the whole "real women have curves" idea. All women are different and we should embrace that. There shouldn't be an ideal body type. We are all beautiful. - thesmartcookie Thu, 07 Jan 2010 14:05:58 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-11974 I am also a petite woman. I have always had a plump bottom, but I was 5'1" and 98lbs when I was in high school and I ate like a pig! I was always ridiculed and had horrible rumors spread about me. At one point there was talk of a "heroine addiction" and a total stranger pointed directly at me and told his girlfriend that he thought I was "a disgusting anorexic bitch" He was maybe 30 and I was 15 years old. Bigger girls wouldn't hang out with me because they thought I was stuck up and it was really hard. I've never been one to judge people by their size. I agree that it isn't fair to single out what a "real" woman is by their body type. It's more important to just love yourself... no matter what! It took me a long time to figure that out, but I love me and I love women that love themselves! Everyone is beautiful! - Nutmeg Mon, 21 Dec 2009 11:51:41 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-11961 wow, as a skinny girl i've had a bug up my ass for years over this "real women have curves" thing, so what am i, chopped liver? i get shit on a daily basis about being skinny but the last place i want it is in a pro-ALL women magazine. we're just on opposite sides of spectum w/ the same freakin problem, can we finally stop polarizing each other??? - Snow White Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:50:26 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-11903 Maybe we could change the wording. Instead of "This is what 'A' real woman looks like"; we'll say "This is what 'THIS' real woman looks like." Betetr? - samiam Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:55:20 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-11864 I have to agree with issy here. Nowadays in magazines everyone and talk shows (e.g. TYRA), weight is often a "hot topic", usually (if not always) about "curvaceous" women and that's just how "real women" look like. I'm also a slender and petite woman myself with A-cup breasts and all this bombardment from the media has got me thinking I'm LESS OF A WOMAN because of my lack of "curves" and "BUST" (how funny). And I know I'm not the only one feeling this way. Can't we just agree that there is no single, clear cut image of a "real woman"? Just to reiterate the previous poster: "Let's stop dividing ourselves into camps and just be gorgeous ladies together" No matter weight, race, etc. AMEN. - Little Mouse Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:56:04 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-11614 I will never understand how the same women who get up in arms about the media's biased and unrealistic body image obsession can turn around and blast skinny girls for being 'unhealthy'. If I took most of the magazine articles that focus on weight and replaced the words about skinny girls with words about heavy girls, it would come off as pretty damn offensive. And I've read a few articles about big girls who've made it and even the 'And BLESS their little hearts for making it as a fat lady' tone puts even my bony little back up. As a lady-centric magazine, you should understand that it is not your place to condemn or support ANY 'ideal' body type. If you want to showcase a girl, showcase a girl. Don't turn her into a 'fat' girl by focusing on her weight. Just as not all big girls aren't that way because they gorge, not all skinny girls are that way because they starve. Again, I understand the need to balance out the thin obsession that is en vogue right now, but how about promoting a 'NO ONE has a right to tell you what is healthy or right for you' approach to body image, not just shoring up the large lady ranks to defend against the scrawny bitch invasion. Let's stop dividing ourselves into camps and just be gorgeous ladies together - issy Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:50:02 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-11612 I wish you wouldn't feature so many articles that focus on weight. The media and most of our current culture already harp on about how you're 'supposed to look' that I can understand a need to balance the YOU'RE NOT THIN ENOUGH trend, but as an itty itty bitty who has received her share of flak from people who call me coathanger and stick and all sorts of degrading names, the last place I want to hear the THIS IS WHAT A [u]REAL[/u] WOMAN LOOKS LIKE mantra is my beloved Bust. I would appreciate a more 'This is ALSO what a real woman looks like' bend to featuring the larger lady antidote to thin-obsessed pop culture. I'm all for featuring plus sized models and highlighting the struggles larger women have to go through in a bone-obsessed culture, but not at the cost of keeping the little bony pricks like me down. - issy Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:40:33 +0100 http://www.bust.com/magazine/on-newsstands-now.html#comment-11388 I was reading through the latest issue for things i may have missed the first time and I was so sad to see that you featured items from Layer Cake Shop on page 37. While that assortment of woodland items for topping the best of cakes is an awesome idea...it is not Layer Cake Shop's idea. Nearly the entire concept for that shop was stolen from a better, truly awesome and truly original shop called Bake It Pretty (www.bakeitpretty.com). You should check it out. It's not very Bust-y of us to promote something that was stolen from someone else. Word. - IdeaTownVintage Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:06:42 +0100
