So, the first time I heard about Christina Hendricks was when someone at work told me that I looked like her (OMG!), but I didn't know who she was, (side note- I had seen her before on tv and stuff but I didn't know her name). So I didn't think much of it, but when I was procrastinating in bed one morning, not wanting to get up (this always happens), I googled her on my phone. Good God. I knew who she was. And Duncan (that guy from work) had said I looked like her. I think that my initial reaction when I put the name to her face was a gasp, and then a giggle that someone was crazy enough to think I was just a little as gorgeous as she is! She's beautiful. And she's an example that curvy girls (and redheads) look hot. Bingo.
As my girlcrush began, I googled interview videos of her, and I -I have to admit it (sorry Christina)- I thought that her voice made her sound like some kind of bimbo (I think it was her boobs as well that did it), and I kind of went 'off' her- was she like her 'MadMen' character or something? But then something changed my mind...
As I was checking out the MTV News app (as always, before bed), I came across an article about Christina Hendricks, and how (despite being voted one of the sexiest people in the world) she had a horrible childhood. I read that she was a goth, who hung out with the 'theatre geeks', and people used to sit on the top of lockers to spit at her. It made me realise, (wow, 'Mean Girls' moment!) I had judged Christina Hendricks: From her looks and voice I had drawn my own conclusions, knowing nothing of her personality or past.
But it's not just about Christina Hendricks (I love writing her full name), I've judged a lot of people, and I know I'm not the only one. It's hardly surprising with all the media- forcing us to make a decision on some singer or something who has been 'snapped' with greasy hair. But WE do it, WE judge. It's human nature, I'm just making it my (very late) New Years Resolution not to judge people so much:) Wooo, no judging! (I have used brackets waaaay too much in this post).
What do you think of this post? Is it too serious? Too long? Leave me a comment! xxxx
