Air-brushing scandals aside, I really do love Kate Winslet. In addition to being a great actress and bright human being, Kate Winslet also has a fantastic real girl body.

As a mother, Kate has also expressed her concerned about the influence of fashion magazines and super-skinny celebs on her young daughter. To foster an atmosphere of self-acceptance, Winslet has placed a moratorium on fashion magazines that feature photographs of ultra-thin people. (Presumably, that means no magazines at the Winslet household.)

I have to salute Kate for this one. Even though I write about fashion for a living, I actually stopped reading glossy magazines a year ago. Since then I really have felt better about my very real life. Somehow magazines always had a way of making me feel like I was missing something when in reality, I wasn't. Hopefully, the magazine ban will have a similar effect on the Winslet household.
