DISCUSSION
Carmen isn't really a role model (seriously, all that body shaming and pro-Ana shit is lame.) She's nice to look at but I don't care for rewarding people for simply being attractive.
But Janet and Laverne are inspiring and intelligent, these ladies are all that and a bag of chips. And not Utz chips, they are those expensive organic pita chips that cost a lot of money.
