In reply to the discussion: Ashley Judd Slaps Media in the Face for Speculation Over Her ‘Puffy’ Appearance [View all]CrispyQ
(36,446 posts)39. Did you see her in "Six Feet Under"?
She was great. She was friends with one of the main characters - the widow of the mortuary owner. They were out shopping one day & the Bates character shoplifted something. The other woman was horrified. Bates laughed & said, "In this society, women of our age are invisible."
I don't advocate shoplifting, but she was spot on with that comment.

In the US expensive labels use vanity sizing. A size 8 here is usually a 10 or 12 elsewhere.

What she says is true even for women who do NOT work in fields where phys. appearance is relevant.

Ashley Judd is great. I saw her speak at the march for women's lives in DC in 2004.
