I Don't Even Know How Two Girdles Would Work


I've heard of wearing a girdle. Hell, I wear one sometimes or else I would have to be buying new clothes all the time, and frankly, the early 90's were good to me so I'm not in any hurry to change what I have.

Jennifer Garner in an interview with Marie Claire magazine says she usually wears two girdles when she wears dresses on the red carpet. How do you wear two girdles? Do they have different places on your body you can wear them? Could I get one for not only my thighs but my waist as well? In my guy ignorance, I just don't know how you would wear two.

Jennifer said she wears two because "I usually feel like, 'No matter how many girdles you put me in, you will not be able to zip this.' They always say to you - as though it's something that should make you happy - 'This is fresh from the runway.'

"But what I think is, 'That was made for some 14-year-old girl from Russia! It was not made to go on my body.' "

No, it wasn't made to go on your body if you are wearing two girdles to fit into it. I'm wondering though if the same complaints she has about designers not understanding her body also holds true with the expectations she is setting for the rest of world's women who don't have her size 2 figure and therefore would need four girdles to wear what she wears with two?

Isn't she being just a bit of a hypocrite? I'm sure she didn't think of it that way when she made the statement, and I think we all know she is not one to dress up everyday, but still, she complains that designers don't understand the body she has, and I don't think she understands that the average size in the world isn't 2.
