Corinna is a plus-size woman that has no apologies for her size and tends to get overlooked by the evildoers. One particularly memorable scene has her tripping an exercise fiend. And she does get the guy, which although seems odd, the author explains in an acceptable way. And goes on about how people react when they see this gorgeous hunk is hers.

I like the idea of the woman in the background who you hardly notice being the sleuth, my only worry would be that someone would insist she is in love with the unobtainable leading man! But i'm all for a little realism in an action hero.<br />kate nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18343201276177843047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805896825026338631.post-60084691731800378332014-09-03T10:30:40.653+01:002014-09-03T10:30:40.653+01:00Women can be pure evil its true - and i think we a...Women can be pure evil its true - and i think we are more manipulative and deflect our guilt by saying..he made me do it!

Seriously - the gorgeous female spies in the movies would capture way too much attention. An average-looking female spy could walk right past the baddies without even getting a second look.

Usually, female baddies are working for a much more cruel male character, or they have daddy issues and have made bad decisions, but I'd like to see a woman who thrives off of chaos. Sometimes you get the seductive temptress who kills men, which is a little more along the right lines, but does seem to serve a fantasy of some kind. Let's have some real evil ladies!Adam Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404990952302454770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805896825026338631.post-91094652362974793612014-08-28T21:57:25.752+01:002014-08-28T21:57:25.752+01:00I'm not a writer, but I am a fat girl (and no ...I'm not a writer, but I am a fat girl (and no matter how much weight I lose, I will always consider myself so), but I don't necessarily like to see fat girls in lead roles because I'm constantly thinking, "she's too big for that guy" or "that would NEVER happen in real life", etc (and it wouldn't because we fat ones are ignored or put on public ridicule, we don't get Mr. Perfect, we get Mr. Whoever Will Accept Us, we don't get promoted over a skinny girl, etc). I do the same thing if the actress is overly skinny...I don't like that either because I think it's unattractive. It's how society labels the fat and I honestly don't think that will ever change, no matter how much of society in general becomes fat themselves. Besides, it makes for more interesting drama that someone was denied a role due to weight because the general population (which are pretty much all fat), like to feel inferior for being so. I can't say I've ever felt inferior over my weight (just my other issues).<br /><br />RE the ALS thing...it just seems to me there are just as important other charities out there. It's no longer for charity and is now a "cool" thing to do...that minimizes the importance of it, IMO.Keebleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297218097725284142noreply@blogger.com
