Starvation?

Joy

Melissa McCarthy would have been great—she has Cherry’s dimples!

Honny

Melissa McCarthy has your dimples, Joy. Get over yourself.

Joy

Cherry and I have the SAME dimples!!

Faith

Doesn’t it feel kind of weird to watch real people play these characters?

Honny

Were you expecting a cartoon, Faith? We knew that the movie wasn’t animated.

Faith

I don’t know what I was expecting... I’m so used to seeing the characters in a comic strip, and then suddenly there they were on screen—real people. But not the *actual* real people. It kind of gave me the heebie-jeebies.

Joy

CHERRY, WHERE ARE YOU?? HAVE YOU WATCHED IT YET???

Honny

Text her, Joy.

Maybe she has the group chat muted.

Faith

Shouldn’t we be talking about all this on the “SISTERS” thread, with Hope?

Honny

No dice—this is a fat-girl-only conversation. No skinnies allowed.

Faith

You can’t say that about everything, Honny.

I don’t like having a group chat called “NO HOPE.” It’s perverse.

Honny

I only named it that so that we don’t accidentally hurt Hope’s feelings!

Joy

What size do you think Hope is these days? Maybe a 12 or 14?? Does that count as “skinny”???
