humanperson832 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 So MAC Cosmetics is coming out with a collection called Strength, and the model (Jelena Abbou, does that mean anything to anyone here?) looks like this, and I'm thrilled about it:http://www.temptalia.com/images/spring2013/spring2013_macstrength001.jpg (I don't think hotlinking brings good karma)I'm even more thrilled that the comment section, currently 129 strong, only has 1 or 2 people with the usual "ew muscls r gross" garbage. Tons of weightlifting ladies and their admirers commenting, and it just warmed my heart.I realize that all any corporation really cares about is profit at the end of the day, but it's still awesome of them to do something this bold. I don't know that I've ever seen a super fit, strong woman as a model in this capacity.(Sorry if this is TOO off-topic, this just seemed like an appropriate place to start a discussion on it) Link to comment

Atalan Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I... I really like the look of a woman in a dress like that. Link to comment

andygates Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 That's a great photo. Looks like Gaga got a barbell! Jelena's page, btw, is here: http://www.jelenafit.net/ Link to comment
Raincloak Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hmm... points to the marketers for puuting strength and feminine beauty in the same picture, but i think they got it wrong.The whole feminine power vibe is severely undermined by the corsetlike bodice and poofy skirt. I mean, if there was ever a symbol of enforced female weakness and delicacy in the name of beauty, it was the corset. On a girl with those shoulders, a dress designed to make the waist appear dainty and the feet vanish looks all wrong to me. She looks about to burst out of the dress. Should give her a sheath cut that shows off her lower body a little to balance things out. This is pasting a Cinderella look onto a Black Widow. Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

I like the concept, but not the execution in that picture.Now, her own webpage? Gorgeous! That is a confident, fit, and beautiful woman.

Dragnmistris Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 That picture of her was pretty nice, even though it looks like she's wearing a garbage bag.However, when I googled her name I didn't find many other flattering photos. Really nasty implants... I'm not against them per se' but these stick out too much.[ATTACH=CONFIG]6737[/ATTACH] Half-Dragon RangerLevel 4 Total: Str: 6.75 Dex: 6.75 Sta: 7.5 Con: 4 Wis: 5 Cha: 7.5~ Here be Dragons ~ Link to comment
