When Everything Feels Like the Movies

"...Which means if your grandmother is who she says she is, she was wearing the diamond the night the Titanic sank". "And that makes you my new best friend".

Okay so we all know I LOVE all things related to both RMS Titanic and the James Cameron film. One thing that's come to my attention is the amount of fat-shaming Kate Winslet received as Rose Dewitt-Bukkater, even back in the nineties when it was released.

Guys, the dresses she wore in that movie were a size four. FOUR. I saw a handful of those dresses today in a special exhibit at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson Missouri, they are TINY. And yet she was and still is fat shamed across the board.

AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY WOMEN HAVE SUCH A HARD TIME NOT ONLY IN ENTERTAINMENT BUT DAY TO DAY LIFE.

That being said, the fact that the movie is still such a cultural land mark and so many people DO still love her in that role gives a person such as myself with Body Dysmorphic Disorder, an eating disorder, and has experienced a great deal of fat shaming herself so much hope.
