Grey's Anatomy

^ It's not related. Not one bit. But I don't care, them's the rules I'm making.

I just think it's great that there's a voluptuous dark-haired brown-skinned woman on the show who is being represented as a sexy smart woman - not a cleaning lady, not a nurse, not a waitress, not a trophy wife (I'm just using these as examples from other shows, past & present.) She's a physician, and a strong, intelligent, independent woman. And she's full figured, but by no means obese. We both know that weight doesn't = health.

It's a nice change from Meredith & Izzie and their "typical" beauty - blond, very thin, kind of cliquey. Christina is teeny-tiny & Addison is statuesque & raven-haired. Bailey is...Bailey.

Bottom line is, I think they're all gorgeous in their own way & I'm glad it's a pretty diverse cast. From what I'm hearing from friends at work, this is the top show for high school kids too. It's good to see different representations of beauty. It's good to see people of any sex, race, nationality, etc. working hard & being smart and successful. It's good to see that the sterotypical blond haired blue eyed people don't have perfect lives.

BTW - I didn't love Callie in the prom dress. Thought her shoulders looked too broad.


OH! Almost forgot to defend her "clinginess." If I told a guy I loved him, and he left the room cuz his friend asked him too, and I didn't know why, I'd be a little pissed too. That's a heavy thing to say (esp. since she later said she had never said it to a guy before) & for him to leave and THEN never call her like he said he would, even to explain what happened? That's hurtful. After she knew what happened, after he explained what was going on, she calmed down & it seems like she's trying to understand their dynamic. So we'll see.
