Real Life Lara Croft?

I never, ever agreed with the character Lara Croft and the way she is dressed in games, etc. It just encourages the society to think of women as sex objects and size 0. Expect size 0 is unhealthy and women= sex object? Damn the media. Because we are not sex objects...

However, I was reading the Metro I think yesterday and I came across an article titled "Real Life Lara Croft" where instead of size 0 action heroine we have a curvy heroine. After reading the article, I went and researched the whole thing.

It is said that actress Carrie Lynn Certa is to play the title role in "A Day In The Life Of Plain Jen", showing that even curvy, size 14- woman can be a very good action heroine. However, even she said that if put up to fight Lara Croft herself, Jen wouldn't win...but wouldn't give up either. Go girl!

Obviously I'm very excited about the movie, and very proud of the actress. It is an inspiration to all women across the world, because it tells us we can still be beautiful but curvy.

The message is very good for young teenagers, girls especially. It will teach them that they don't have to be a size 0 to be beautiful, so Carrie Lynn Certa is a very good model for all women everywhere.

She said that she feels sexy in jeans and a T-shirt. I myself never wear jeans because I dislike the material, but if Mrs Certa feels comfortable in her own skin, then everyone should. I myself feel very comfortable, and I might lose weight but its not because I'm on a diet. I have my own odd nights out in town eating fast food. But not too often...

Lastly, Mrs Certa made a very good point. Mothers are real-life heroines. They come in all sizes and shapes, do triple shift and still have time for their children and themselves. In conclusion, we all should thank our mothers for looking after us and thank Mrs Certa for being a great role model.
