Yesterday my CD and DVD copies of "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" showed up, and it dawned on me something that makes Shah Rukh Khan so appealing... dimples. Both Jon Stewart, my comedic idol and nerd crush, and Matt Damon, one of the most insanely hot guys to ever draw breath, also have them. One of those guys hits you with those things, and it's like a missle straight to whatever part of the brain causes swooning.
So, big deal, right? Here's the point: a Times of India article talked about the uptick in men coming to request plastic surgery to get Shah Rukh-style dimples.
Which leads me to today's fat reality check: fat people don't have a monopoly on body image issues. This person thinks his chin is too weak, this one prays for bigger boobs, that one is injecting collagen or botox or black mamba venom or some such craziness into their face. So when I watch Jon or Matt or Shah Rukh, or Angelina Jolie or Katy Perry or Kajol, I try to remember that I'm not meant to be them. I'm meant to be me, the right me.
On that note, I smile with my perfectly straight teeth over fairly lovely green eyes and head out to sweat to my rapidly expanding Bolly Bomb playlist. Wanna join me? Just for today?
