It's curves that get their blood pumping! A lot of celebrities obsess with getting skinny again after giving birth but I love my new fuller figure and so does Rod."Penny even claimed she "hated" her pre-baby slim figure.She said: "Before having my son Alastair two years ago, my body was straight up and down. I used to hate seeing ribs and bones. Now that I've filled out in places. I feel more feminine."(C) BANG Media International

'Men don't find size zero attractive. It's curves that get their blood pumping!'

Well, thanks for assuming all men like the same things, like trained little Neanderthals. This is some BS your mom fed you and your grandma fed your mom.

All men like different things. Some like big breasts, some like small ones, some like ridiculously large ones. Heck what about gay men who aren't attracted to women at all?

In the face of ignorance (this article) I will also smile, Ms. Lancaster.
