And in my day, I had her fierce abs.<br/>So what is up with straight women falling for her? It's a strange phenomena that says something about women I think. Can admiration cross over into desire? Maybe, but I can't speak for straight women as I've never been straight. Since I've been big into working out for years, I always admire people with discipline. And it does take discipline. But I think it's silly to get reality tv crushes. How can you have a crush on someone you don't even know? But I watch the show and I sometimes think it's funny that Jackie gets all the hot women the guys want. Still yet, I save my admiration for the important ppl in my life. The ones who mean the most to me. They are my "Jackie Warner's". Too bad they don't get as much recognition; they sure deserve it <img src="http://clipmarks.com/images/icons/smilies/happy.gif?r=2" style="margin-bottom: -4px;" alt="" /> <br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/fashion/13trainer.html?_r=1&oref=slogin" title="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/fashion/13trainer.html?_r=1&oref=slogin">www.nytimes.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/debbyski/512/30683FD6-C985-4229-9606-F26F9068E68A.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>Andy Cohen, senior vice president of programming and production for Bravo, said: “Straight women across the country are not only obsessed with the show, they are obsessed with Jackie.”</P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>Obsessed?</P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>What in Sappho’s name is going on? </P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>“I think it's very safe for women across the United States to watch this in their living room in St. Louis and think, ‘What if?’ or ‘Wow,’ ” he said. </P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>“My girl crush isn’t so much as I want to date Jackie as much as I want to get closer to that look,” Ms. Meltzer said. “She’s got fierce abs, a sexy voice and the most amazing lip gloss I have ever seen.” </P></div></div><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/fashion/13trainer.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1" title="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/fashion/13trainer.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1">www.nytimes.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>It’s possible, too, that some women mistake intense feelings of admiration for love. “There’s always the question of ‘Do you want to date this person’ or ‘Do you want to be them?’ ” said Malinda Lo, the managing editor of <A href="http://AfterEllen.com">AfterEllen.com</A>, an online magazine about the representation of lesbians and bisexual women in entertainment and news media. “It’s kind of easy to have the admiration cross into desire.” </P></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"></div>http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/fashion/13trainer.html?_r=1&oref=sloginTue, 06 May 2008 03:23:18 GMT
