The only way to achieve what she has, at her age, is to pay big bucks for a personal trainer and dietician and chef and to make your personal image your main work to the exclusion of all else.
The elite also incorporate electric stimulation suits into their work outs. It optimizes the muscle potential. All that effort. Too bad there’s no inner beauty for this woman, a semblance of real feminine power. No points from me. This stuff is too hard to keep up and has no real value in the long run. There is always the exhaustive keeping up that is not satisfying.
This is such an important article. I didn't really have any idea how this look was achieved and now I realise that for mere mortals like me, 59 years old, strength training 3 times a week, living a normal life, I can't attain this. It's enough to be strong, fit and capable
As long as I can lift up my carry on (50 pounds) into the overhead on the plane, and pick up things that must be lifted, I’ll call it good.
I once purchased a fitness magazine, the cover a muscled woman, at store. The man behind me in line tapped me and said “excuse me, but can you tell me why women want to look that way?”
I competed in natural bodybuilding when younger. For those of us who tend toward perfectionism, the road to the show can be exciting and gratifying. The challenge is when you stop, because you realize you’ll never look that good again.
At 66, I’m just focused on maintaining my health and mobility and I work on that. But I maintain it so I can enjoy that ice cream cone on the boardwalk with my kids and grandkids, so I can sip wine at sunset with my husband, so I can travel to bucket list places with him and have mall lunch dates with my life long friends. I don’t live my life for cameras or public approval.
Her body is quite bizarre. I suspect she’s had lower ribs surgicallyRemoved to get that tiny waist, fake nails, extremely false huge breasts, plump weird injected lips, no wrinkles in a woman her age. It’s pretty terrifying. Barbie doll stuff. As a feminist and an aging woman, I totally object to this bullshit. She’s setting a really bad example for our young women And men as well.
It’s another form of performative wealth. You don’t get time to indulge in creating that body if you’re working 60 hours per week and doing all your own housework and childcare.
Professional ballet dancers generally train 5 to 6 hours a day, at least 6 days a week. It is probably the most intensive level of sustained athleticism of any “sport”. Dame Darcy Bussel, a Principal with the Royal Ballet, retired at the height of her fame in her late thirties: anything later than that invites serious structural bodily injury, usually to the feet, ankles, knees, hips or back, and Darcy had a few mishaps before she retired. Eventually, the recovery time makes achieving the prior level of athleticism impossible. I only mention this to illustrate how fleeting the “ballerina” body actually is, how difficult it is to obtain and how injury prone.
They are not of our world, yet we pay for it by buying their shit and purchasing services they provide. Their gratitude is enslaving us to poverty and making us pay more in taxes to support their grifting off the government. The richer they are, the more power they have. Time to stop shrugging our shoulders and stop enriching them.
I mean, there's also the fact that anyone so lean cannot naturally have an enormous set of breasts. The 14 year old girls (and boys!) on social media often don't know the bodies they're seeing weren't just built by Pilates and restrictive dieting, but also butt and boob implants.
Thank you so much for explaining this in such a simple and clear way. Your specific expertise here is so valuable.
It’s so easy for someone who has never been particularly lean or fit to think “well when I get skinny, I *should* look like this” when it’s a nearly bikini category competition-ready look that requires such a high level of effort, cooperative lifestyle dynamics, financial privilege and genetics.
Attractive to who? To other women, likely. I used to be super thin, was recovering my self from a narcissist who nitpicked my body to where I was never thin enough. Enter my husband-to-be. He told me I looked good in clothes, but was way too boney naked. Shocker! He explained how men love women for their differences…men were supposed to be the strong, ripped, muscular ones…women softer, smoother, with curves. Opposite.
I think the reason Sanchez has that look to her arms is that she has broad shoulders. Not terribly typical in women. Much easier to make arms look shapely with that build.
But seriously…fake boobs, assume missing some ribs, and the overly plumped lips…I don’t think she’d look good naked. She is an ornament on his arm.

Yes, I think her physique was part of the performance on the big day. Weekend. Not sustainable.
Not so much a wedding,more a 3 ring circus.
Spot on!
There must be the lingering question, “Now what?”
Steroids. These women are on steroids.
Maybe plastic surgery?
Probably a fair bit of plastic surgery.

It is not worth achieving. Who cares. Walk every day. Lift things. Dance. Eat healthy. Who cares if your arms are fit and fat free ?
That’s exactly right.

My answer :“being strong is the best defense ”.
Being funny and witty is the best defence
Isn’t that the truth! It can sure get you far in life!

This is real wealth, Kathleen.

Her lips are grotesque
Absolutely she’s had ribs surgically removed. They also did that in the Victorian age

That dress is a freaking lampshade with a very dim bulb in it. What were they thinking?
Yep- that dress looks like it has a drapery valance from a 1980 House Beautiful photo shoot
That is absolutely perfectly described. I bow to my Sensei.

Michelle Obama has gorgeous arms. At the same time, she looks healthy not sinewy lean.
And yet look at the flak she took for having such good arms. I guess the skin covering them wasn’t the right color
I never understood that, honestly
I agree! Her arms are amazing!
and two of them!

A blow-up doll would be cheaper. Available on Amazon for $23.

Gloria Swanson wants her lampshade back.

Exactly why is she worth paying the tiniest bit of attention to?
Wow! I love this piece -- very powerful and thought provoking!
No it wasn’t
