Christina, plays Joan Holloway, a character who loves to show off her curves in the office and specifically her waist. “I’ve learned from the show that it’s good to show off my waist,” Christina tells InStyle Magazine.

Hendricks continued to say that it’s … ” a nice very quality I have. I’m drawn to items of clothing what a nice waistline but if something doesn’t have one then I’ll then tailor it so it does.”

We support her in her style, as she truly is an original! And looks amazing, regardless of what she wears.

Christina Hendricks at the Emmys & Creative Emmys

Christina Hendricks may have been named the Best Looking Woman in the nation earlier this year by Esquire Magazine, but the fashion industry by in large – including names such as Armani, Versace, Vera Wang & Chanel – simply hasn’t loaned Christina a single dress since the star has been on the scene and attended numerous award ceremonies. This is likely due to Christina’s curvy and voluptuous figure.

The “Mad Men” star recently commented to the Daily Mail publication that “‘People have been saying some nice, wonderful things about me… yet not one single designer in town will loan me a dress.” The fact of the matter is that fashion designers tend to only lend out a size 0, 1, or 2.

The lavender dress she wore to the Emmys this past week was designed by Zac Posen. She also wore a black gown designed by Posen to the Creative Emmys. Although her dress size (largely due to Christina’s cup size) was a reported 14, she still looks amazing and has a one of a kind figure and is sexy as ever. At this point the fashionistas such as Donatella, and other designers should get real and realize that not every size in Hollywood (let alone the world) are a size 0, 1 or 2 for that matter! And being sexy is not relegated to those sizes either.

And recently a yearbook photo surfaced from a student literary magazine at Fairfax High School in Virginia, which Christina attended in the 90s which shows her as a very pretty thespian (and dare we say geeky?).  Here’s a copy of the photo (Christina is circled):

As previously posted, Hendricks was recently named as a role model to young women for her healthy figure by Britain’s equalities minister.

One of Featherstone’s goals is to force the labeling of airbrushed images and photographs. In a recent interview she said, “the dreadful pressure that young people, girls and women come under to conform to completely unachievable body stereotypes.”  And thus, she wants all airbrushed photographs to be labeled as such.

As reported recently Featherstone commented that, “… she’s absolutely fabulous,” regarding Hendricks. “All women have felt that pressure of having to conform to an unrealistic stereotype,

which plagues them their whole life. It is not just the immediate harm; it is something that lasts a lifetime. Young girls are under intense pressure the whole time,” continued Featherstone as quoted in the Guardian.

The positive press is a great momentum builder as Season 4 of Mad Men aired last night, as the country is reminded of how smoking cigarettes incessantly and having a cocktail during a late night at work was the norm.
