 di-mc6517 PostsJoined 12/4/2006the real world This is NOT a slam at Lisa Robertson, I actually like her and generally enjoy the shows I've seen her host.  This is about her picture posted on the Community's first page. Lisa always states she wears her skirts just at the knee because she doesn't like her knees or thighs. In the picture, there's lots of leg showing and I think her legs look pretty darn good. So, what gives? If my legs looked as good I'd be wearing short skirts and shorts all the time! Opinions?

Lisa is a bit self deprecating but I would agree that her legs are not her best feature. I think we all have "parts" that we don't love and she's no different. di-mc1346951844.4136517 PostsRegistered 12/4/2006the real world Yes, Debbie that's the pic I'm referring to. You're so right, we all have parts that we don't like. I just saw a film about models from the past and they mentioned something they didn't care for.

hopi1346951971.5710161 PostsRegistered 11/26/2006 great picture and shoes why are her knees all bruised up  di-mc1346952221.916517 PostsRegistered 12/4/2006the real world I didn't notice her knees being bruised, but now that you mention it I see it. Could it be from self-tanning? Self tanner looks darker on the elbows and knees, but this does look more like bruises. Geez, they should have air brushed that out!

robomo1346952257.9038782 PostsRegistered 3/15/2005 Not the best picture I've seen. That skirt probably does hit her just above or at the knee. It's not a short short skirt. We're women. We all have "issues" with particular parts of our bodies. Usually, no one else sees the "flaws" that we see. Sometimes they even become obsessions with us, so when we look in the mirror that is ALL we see. It's my thighs with me. To me, they are huge. I was saying as much to my daugther the other day and she just rolled her eyes at me and said "if your thighs were as big as you think they are, you wouldn't get them into slim leg jeans" even if you went up a size. I know she's right. They still look like thunder thighs to me...... I don't think it's a flattering pic of her. Her legs look like she hasn't got the tanner blended well and I don't like the hair. LuvsLabs1346956447.581390 PostsRegistered 7/2/2012 Her arms are definitely much darker than her hands. Looks like she forgot to self tan her hands. ROMARY1346957496.969996 PostsRegistered 4/28/2010 She does a lot of exercising. Probably slightly bruised from training. Camera/lighting/photograph, etc. etc. Sometimes slight imperfections show through. Yellow Rose twocent1346957641.6378245 PostsRegistered 1/5/2008 I think she looks pretty darn good. Go to Walmart , then come home and take another look.  I have heard her mention her thighs being heavy. I think mine are too heavy as well, but I am never going to have the pencil thin build- I wish for.  You'll find my heart at the Rainbow Bridge. :( ROMARY1346957773.939996 PostsRegistered 4/28/2010 Yes, very darn good! Many of us (including me/myself) can only wish.............. BTW, which word is correct?: "me" or "myself"? Last edited on 9/6/2012 Yellow Rose theBabe1346957808.037874 PostsRegistered 6/16/2010the USA I think from her knees on up, her legs are a little chubby....BUT they still look way better than my own.

I have to agree that her legs are not her best feature. And yes, we certainly do all have parts that we don't love. ROMARY1346958052.839996 PostsRegistered 4/28/2010 I'm guessing that all/most of those slim models have body "imperfections" in their own eyes/mind. Yellow Rose pixiedust1346958662.14559 PostsRegistered 8/7/2005 No one's perfect..I'd love to look as imperfect as Lisa though. I think she looks fabulous and fit. Rocker1346959936.031338 PostsRegistered 5/3/2007Nashville, TN What the he**ll are you all talking about????  Chubby W H A T ??  I will take her knees/legs ANY day of the week. You don't even have to go to Walmart. It doesn't make sense. brii1346960030.5814788 PostsRegistered 7/14/2008 Go to Walmart , then come home and take another look. Heck, even I look good after a trip to Walmart....without makeup! MimiLouise1346960955.45745 PostsRegistered 6/22/2010 When I saw the picture, I thought she looked pretty darn good! Loved the skirt, the top, and those shoes...... and her legs are not bad.... by the way, I am not a big Lisa fan, but I thought this was such a cute picture of her.. Who does have perfect legs???? Name one. twocent1346961106.828245 PostsRegistered 1/5/2008 On 9/6/2012 Witchy Woman said: Go to Walmart , then come home and take another look.

WHY????? Karena1346961882.0774420 PostsRegistered 6/30/2008Bay Area, California I think her legs are one of her best features. It all depends on one's standard of beauty which may have a lot to do with cultural standards of beauty. Lisa's thighs are thick and very toned due to all her exercise, which is ideal IMHO. In my culture, if you have thin thighs or legs, it's rather unattractive. Thank goodness for diversity when it comes to ideals of beauty! smhr1346962002.8572929 PostsRegistered 1/16/2012laid back and mellow town USA I'm not bragging, but my legs looks like hers. Actually, I think my legs and hers looks pretty good! JMHO, Lisa does tend to be self deprecating. It seems to come out a lot on her shows. Don't care for the leopard print cardigan, but love, love the shoes! Marienkaefer1346962229.2974984 PostsRegistered 12/15/2008formerly la fee verte All this nit-picking about physical attributes is curious to me. What is the ideal of "perfect" legs, hair, or anything? "Chubby knees"? Really? I think Lisa looks great, and her legs are great too. Beautiful doesn't come in one size fits all. We are all different sizes and shapes, regardless of weight or height. In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true. -- Buddha Zcat1346962596.2972336 PostsRegistered 2/3/2010Florida I usually hate all of the extreme threads on the hosts -- people go overboard with bashing/ worshipping comments. I don't normally get involved but I have to say, some of these comments are ridiculous. 'Her arms are tanner than her legs', 'her hands aren't tan', 'her legs are chubby'. Are you kidding? What kind of microscope are you people using? Do you look through the same one when you examine your own pics?
