Christina Hendricks Makes Curvy Women Feel Sexy

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 6th 2010 11:57AM

Christina Hendricks redefines sexy in every episode of 'Mad Men,' as she lends her curves to the role of Joan Harris. This time around, Hendricks leaves the pencil skirts behind as she drips with jewels in the November issue of Harper's Bazaar in a sultry shoot by photographer Terry Richardson.

Hendricks didn't quite realize that she would become the poster girl for women with curves when she first started 'Mad Men.'

Hendricks reminiscences about the show's first season. Out to dinner with her husband, Geoffrey Arend, a fan approached her and said, "'Excuse me, I just want to tell you that I watch your show, and you make me feel better about myself. I am a curvy woman, and you've made me feel sexy and beautiful.' I got teary eyed." Christina tears up again at the memory. "I remember Geoffrey saying, 'That's what you're doing for people. That's amazing.'"

Hendricks credits her mother with giving her a positive attitude about her body. "My mother never said to lose weight. Diets were never a big deal," Hendricks says. "My mom was always beautiful and voluptuous and curvy, and I always thought she was gorgeous."

"Women hit on me," she chuckles. "My husband thinks it's so odd that so many women hit on me. Gay men too. They say to me, 'Well, I'm not straight, but if I was...' I think it's so flattering."

Where are her boobs? They got rid of them for the front cover!

By Nico Toscani

She is NOT representative of real women. All she is a giant pair of ta-tas. Her face is fugly and without those giant melons nobody would give her a second thought.
