The New York Times Calls Christina Hendricks ‘A Big Girl’

That’s right, this did happen. Here’s the exact quote, referring to the dress Christina wore at the Golden Globes:

Not pretty Christina Hendricks in Christian Siriano’s exploding ruffle dress. (As one stylist said, “You don’t put a big girl in a big dress. That’s rule number one.”)

… says NY Times journalist Cathy Horyn, the author of the article Further reflections of a Golden “I”

Even more, the article was accompanied by a distorted image which featured (intentionally or accidentally) a much wider Christina Hendricks – see image below:

Note: The left image was originally posted by NY Times, the right one is the original.

After readers pointed out the photoshopped image, NY times updated the post, saying:

“The photo was slightly distorted inadvertently due to an error during routine processing.”

So perfectly-proportioned, clearly-at-a-healthy-weight Christina is a “big girl”. Not even a “curvy / voluptuous girl”, which has positive connotations, she’s big, people.

Thank you, NY Times, for that amazing piece of information.
