Skinny VS Curvy

Since we’re fast to point out the excessive use of Photoshop in various ads and on magazine covers (such as HERE), we should also notice when celebrity faces remain untouched by digital makeovers: for example, 42 year-old Cate Blanchett appears pretty real, unedited and unplasticised on the current issue of Intelligent Life Magazine.

On getting plastic surgery and other interventions: There’s been a decade or so of people doing intervention with their face and their body. Now that we’re emerging from that people are seeing that long term it’s not so great. I’m not sitting on a soapbox telling women what they should and shouldn’t do, but I know what works for me. I’d just be too frightened about what it means long term. In the end if you have all that stuff done..in the end you just see the work. It doesn’t fill me with admiration, it fills me with pity.

I would have asked my usual “Who’s Hotter?”, but hotness is not exactly something I would use to describe these ladies. Elegance… would be a better word.

So, since they’re only 2 inches apart (Cate is 5′ 8½” and Nicole is 5′ 10½”) and only 2 years apart (Cate is 39, while Nicole is 41), let’s decide:
