Okay, everyone has pretty much either bad mouthed her or the host. Now, I guess it is my turn to speak as well. One, I understand being shocked or dismayed at her choice of lifestyle. There comes a point in every persons life where something just makes them do something. Guys, when they go through a change, might buy a race car, date girls younger than their own daughters. Nobody says a word. Women do something outrageous and all hell breaks loose.
Here is a History lesson:
Catherine de Medici, who laid down laws about fashion which the ladies of their courts were compelled to obey. Queen Catherine required her ladies to reduce their waists to as little as possible above thirteen inches for patriotic reasons, and herself invented an extremely severe and powerful form of the corset which a French writer described as “a closely-fitting fortress.” In this the entire trunk of the lady was encased, and a system of gradual and determined constriction was followed out until her measurements were reduced to the desired slenderness.
(source: http://www.mrbra.com/corset_history_lingerie.ivnu)
So, even though, Cathie is doing for the “look” of the time era, she is not fully educated to the fact that women did and were expected in some areas in the past to be as small, if not smaller than she is.
To reply 35. Jacqueline- I am a “fattie” who is neither for or against what she is doing to her own self. In fact, I have no problem with corsets and think that it can be very classy, which we have lost in this lifetime. I would personally wear one, albeit one meant for a “fattie.” I find it humorous that you would be so judgmental towards “fatties” and yet, push for the motto of “different strokes for different folk’s.”

It’s HER body, what’s all the fuss about? Personally, I think 34DD-20-34 (tight bubble) is just about right …

I think this lady has an odd “fetish” of wanting to look Victorian. Everything I’ve read about has showed that corsets caused health problems to ladies years ago. If she is not having problems, that’s amazing.

As far as the person who said the hosts were cutting this lady off…if you notice, the lady is so slow at answering their questions, time is limited on these talk shows, and I’m sure they wanted an answer “today” rather than waiting till next week for Mrs Jung to finish responding in a normal way.

WHY????? Why would anyone do that to theirself? Lady, I know it’s way too late because you’re old now, but why did you do that to yourself? It’s just unnatural. Do you have a man? What does he look like?
