The New York Times Calls Christina Hendricks ‘A Big Girl’

The New York Times Calls Christina Hendricks ‘A Big Girl’

That’s right, this did happen. Here’s the exact quote, referring to the dress Christina wore at the Golden Globes:

Not pretty Christina Hendricks in Christian Siriano’s exploding ruffle dress. (As one stylist said, “You don’t put a big girl in a big dress. That’s rule number one.”)

… says NY Times journalist Cathy Horyn, the author of the article Further reflections of a Golden “I”


Even more, the article was accompanied by a distorted image which featured (intentionally or accidentally) a much wider Christina Hendricks – see image below:

Note: The left image was originally posted by NY Times, the right one is the original.

After readers pointed out the photoshopped image, NY times updated the post, saying:

“The photo was slightly distorted inadvertently due to an error during routine processing.”

So perfectly-proportioned, clearly-at-a-healthy-weight Christina is a “big girl”. Not even a “curvy / voluptuous girl”, which has positive connotations, she’s big, people.

Thank you, NY Times, for that amazing piece of information.
