Sun-Herald Fashion Editor Kate Waterhouse interviewed Christina Hendricks of Mad Men and bewwwwbs fame for a new eye-wear thing she was promoting and the conversation quickly turned to her body. Kate asked, “You have been an inspiration as a full-figured woman. What is the most inspiring story that you can remember where you’ve inspired someone?” Note that Kate also made the hand motion for “full-figured.” Luckily, she left out the “wompa wompa” sound effects.
Christina, caught off guard, said, “Um, I don’t know… I’m sorry.” The video shuts off and Waterhouse is told to not ask questions about her weight. When the cameras turn on again, guess what she asks. That’s right. The same question. *Snaps fingers in a z-formation*

Not the kind Jessica Simpson gave herself using buckets of chicken.
