Chrissy Metz, the Goddess of Summer

Another angle.

OP, you have no option for

Oh my lord!!

Y'all quit it, she obviously has a glandular problem and it must be tough to find nice clothes.

Thankfully she has more of a choice these days and isn't stuck going to Hefty Hideaway.

still, nothing against her but isn't this proof that even trendyspendy fashion designers can end up making something that looks like i giant tablecloth?

The only problem seems to be the sleeves in terms of the overall look. That's the designer's doing, the stylist's doing, or maybe the dress was to warm and she just pulled the sleeves.

I know I'm probably whistling to a couple of tone deaf people here, but unless she's asking you for your fashion expertise, or your experience with make up or something similar, you don't have the right to criticize her appearance anymore than some random person on the street has the right to tell you what's wrong with the way you look.

Even if you're new to Datalounge or society at large, I think it's been established that gay men are not given any special fashion powers nor do we get automatic permission to evaluate a women as if she were on object. Meanwhile any woman, even a celebrity is not obligated to dress or present herself to please someone else.

My thoughts...

r5 Um, no, that's not how celeb fashion works. She's selling that dress and the designer, and more than likely getting compensated for it as well. Turning this into some sort of woke sexist issue is bizarre and also reveals you have no clue how this biz works. And bringing homosexuality into it is just another level of ugly on your part, though it really doesn't surprise me.

it doesn't matter. she is wearing it in public. you, nor she own my thoughts about it.

i don't care how big she is. i think the dress is dowdy.

I think she looks good. The dress is fresh, the length is right and the color is beautiful. There's not a lot she can do with her shape. This is a good look on her.

look like bedroom curtains at my summer cabin...

That dress is using enough cotton to start another civil war!!

Psst! r5, I think someone white is wearing hoop earrings down on the quad. Better go now and scream at her now for not being woke enough.

Draper? More like Christo!

Yes, she's gorgeous. I hope her and Lens Dunham dominate the entertainment world. We, as the plebeians of society must be told and reminded that beauty is more than skin deep.

I'm sorry? I couldn't quite get it the first time. So please keep repeating yourselves.

please, keep telling me over, and over, and over again. I can't quite understand.

oh, I got it. People who are beautiful on the outside are horrible people, but those who are unconventionally attractive on the outside are wonderful, beautiful people allike the time, every time.

"Um, no, that's not how celeb fashion works. She's selling that dress and the designer, and more than likely getting compensated for it as well."

I'm well aware of how it works. If she's selling it as you say, the manufacturer is responsible for the appearance of the dress that she's displaying. They are responsible for the model they choose. The manufacturer is cashing in on her celebrity and thus they are obligated to compensate her. Paying someone a salary doesn't not convey ownership. Let me remind you that it's still illegal in this country to own another person. Furthermore, she was chosen to model this because she represents the women the manufacturer wants to sell to. If you have any expertise of sales figures at your disposal, please elucidate us. At this point, what I'm hearing from you is that all women must conform to one single size and that the fashion industry has the right to control a woman's body

" Turning this into some sort of woke sexist issue is bizarre and also reveals you have no clue how this biz works."

Please consider that a a methodoloby can't proven inside a vacuum unless it is very specificaly a methodology concerning vacuums. If the methodology is to work, then it's application must be reproduceable. I don't expect everyone to know everything about everything. I certainly don't. For example, I've never used calculus outside of a classroom. I have a very limited understanding of it's applications. My limited knowledge does not invalicate calculus. Ignorance does not make a compelling argument in any case..

"And bringing homosexuality into it is just another level of ugly on your part, though it really doesn't surprise me."

The only association between homosexuality and ugliness is the one you introduced into the conversation. To be clear: gay men do not have the right nor the magical powers to control another person's appearance. I know this because I'm a gay man. I have no magical powers. And unlike that old right wing canard, I have no "special rights" either.

Your experience may vary, but the anecdotal evidence you've provided is no proof of anything.

Apologies for my spelling errors.

"I think someone white is wearing hoop earrings down on the quad. Better go now and scream at her now for not being woke enough."

Clearly you missed the part where I said I don't have the right to tell people how to dress. I hope this clears up your confusion on this matter.

"it doesn't matter. she is wearing it in public. you, nor she own my thoughts about it."

Disagreement is not ownership. I don't know what magical powers you might have. But trust me when I tell you, I have no control over your thoughts. I have no responsibility concerning your paranoia, either. Rest easy in the knowledge that Chrissy Metz has no magical nor control over your thoughts.

Your might consider consulting a mental health professional if this symptom of yours persist.

Again many mistakes. I'm not much in the mood for proofreading right now.

"People who are beautiful on the outside are horrible people, but those who are unconventionally attractive on the outside are wonderful, beautiful people allike the time, every time. Thanks Hollywood! now I understand!"

Challenging your belief system is not an attempt at mind control. It's an opportunity to learn something new. You are well within your rights to close your mind and limit your knowledge. It is your right to shut yourself off from things that make you uncomfortable and enrich your perspective. Your level of ignorance and arrogance is well within your control.

You are right not to let anyone else take that away from you.

That is your job.

Looks like a picnic tablecloth.

But I agree with R2, have some empathy.

^*I Mean, R3.

You have an interesting definition of what empathy is, r22.

See, I learned something new today.

R17 You type fat

BLIND ITEM ...

There have been two different size increases in the wardrobe in just a few weeks of this A- list mostly television actress who is the lead on a hit network show that has been airing for awhile now.

The actress, came back from break about fifteen pounds heavier than when they wrapped last season and has already gained another five since shooting began. Chrissy Metz ("This Is Us")

R25 Thought it was in her contract she had to lose weight? The actor playing Toby sure has and they look mismatched now Metz is transforming into a truck

That poor dress.

There was a blind item a couple weeks ago about her. It said that she keeps gaining weight.

She's great, but any idiot should know that wearing a big floral print puts you at risk for looking like a big wallpapered hallway.

She wore this on Stephen Colbert last night. Her fat distribution is so bizarre - it's concentrated in her gigantic abdomen. And even while seated she had to catch her breath several times while speaking. It is frightening to look at her; the camera tried to stay focused on her face. Ghastly.

At one point she was talking about working as a preschool teacher and Colbert asked her if she was a "glutton for punishment", and you could see him nearly catch himself as soon as he said it.

R5 we have the legal right to insult any stranger that we want to. Period. Check it — you’re a boring prig. Now sue me. Let’s see who prevails.

r15/r16: Apology not accepted.

She’s so misshapen it doesn’t matter what she wears. She looks bad in everything.

Send her to Dr. Now in Houston. If he can get 600 pounders down, Chrissy could be slender in a few weeks.

She must be so uncomfortable.

Yes, please R20, tell and scold me into submission of what I must find attractive.

You are correct, it should be my job. i need and should work at it. Attraction should never, ever come naturally. it should only come through hard work on my end, right?

Because sexuality is a choice?

I must find this attractive? is that your stance?

"we have the legal right to insult any stranger that we want to. Period. Check it — you’re a boring prig. Now sue me. Let’s see who prevails."

And I have the legal right to have my say. It's all seems to be working well. I don't know why you think the mention of a lawsuit is going to shut me up. But hey, let's see if it works.

Oh, wait....

"Yes, please [R20], tell and scold me into submission of what I must find attractive.

You are correct, it should be my job. i need and should work at it. Attraction should never, ever come naturally. it should only come through hard work on my end, right?

Because sexuality is a choice?

I must find this attractive? is that your stance?"

I must regretfully decline your offer of submission. I don't find that attractive in any way.

I think we both understand that there are no "musts" when it comes to attraction. I wish you the very best.

R25 Oh please. 5-15 pounds is not going to be visible on a person of her gigantic size.

"[R15]/[R16]: Apology not accepted."

I didn't make any apology to you. Not everything is about you.

In case you've never had the experience of being civil, civility doesn't require huge amounts of effort. It doesn't cause weakness or fatigue or any other unpleasant side effects.

On ordinary people this would be considered floral. On her it just looks like the entire front lawn.

That's an easy, breezy summer dress. Couldn't be lovelier.

I finger myself thinking about Chrissy Metz sitting on my face after she ate a chili dog, cabbage and taco bell.

And I think I'm going to be r44, next, r43. I'm practicing the virtue of patience, and so far it's paying off for me.

I asked about this in another thread, but perhaps you are the one with the answers:

Which one of Datalounge's most prominent fecal trolls are you? The one who pretends to live in Europe, or the one who pretends she has a promising future in show business?

It's been a while since Psych 101 for me. Freud's theories were still a part of the canon. I forget if you types are anal expulsive or anal retentive. I'm pretty sure it's anal expulsive. I would love to hear your opinions on Freud and whether or not you believe your developments remain arrested in this so called phase. Both sides are associated with shame I believe which I think would definitely explain the sock puppetry and aggression.

she says its glandular??? why is she so big??? wtf????

I rather like this dress, except for the ruffle-like sleeves. She can’t hide her size, so she might as well wear a bright print, and this one isn’t bad.

I dug up my grandpa and used his leg as a dildo!

She's the most attractive great big spherical person I've ever seen.

R5 — since you brought it up what will shut you up?

R39, you’re right that 5-15 pounds will not be [bold]visible[/bold] to someone of her size, but those extra pounds may have an impact on the wardrobe department having to alter the clothes. If you’re a size men’s 50 waist, yes, you’re huge, but if you put on an additional 15 pounds, that might put you to a 52 inch.

FWIW, I don’t think R25’s BI is about her anyway. I think it’s about some other actress who is supposed to be “thin.” Who that is, I have no idea.

"On-screen beau?" Didn't they get married?

She is frighteningly big, and the frightful patterns do her no favors either.

On January 5, 2008, Metz married British journalist Martyn Eaden in a Santa Barbara, California beachside ceremony. They separated in January 2013, and Eaden filed for divorce from Metz in November 2014, citing "irreconcilable differences". On December 11, 2015, their divorce was finalized.

I hope they confiscated all harpoons in the vicinity as a precaution.

So refreshing to see real, attainable women on TV. You gays wouldn't understand.

Is she hiding illegals under there to protect them from ICE? She's a real humanitarian.

She gets bigger by the hour! She must have a heart the size of a BASKETBALL!

I feel sorry for her. She seems like a nice lady. I hope that she doesn't end up qualifying for My 600-lb Life.

Left off part of your name, hon, but I fixed it for ya. You're welcome.

I can't believe I'm the first on DL to post the new video for her previously released song "Talking to God." I also can't believe Chrissy is wearing a caftan with pink feathers on the sleeves...she's clearly been reading DL!

Little Lulu!

Homegirl is working those curtains well. Unfortunately, I'm working everything underneath them, mostly with spelunking equipment and a scrub brush and a mop.
