Not a fan of plastic enhancements like that, I think it detracts from the work she's done herself.0

If she paid for them, they're hers!
Yup.
Seems like she's been through some stuff, and I think it's great that she's found a way to feel empowered. I also think she looks amazing. She doesn't look "natural", whatever that means (anyone here dye their hair or wear makeup? Or clothes, even? Did everyone come out of the womb in jeans and t-shirts?). But she is striking and her looks speak to self-mastery and self-determination. Totally appreciate that.0 -
OMG at "been through some stuff" ....she started out as a vacuous tabloid media wh0re famous for getting into a spat with that other talentless tart over fake / real boobs and who slept with who's ex which is one of the reasons her own plastic surgery is so ....comment-inducing
Bodybuilding ...I'm impressed

Not a fan of fake books but she holds them well.
Not a fan of her muscles but then I'm not a fan of my fat.
Each to their own. Who are we to judge when she is sooo healthy.
Well done to her for the discipline and determination in what she has achieved.
I would love some of that!!

She obviously worked her *kitten* off to look like that. Who cares if she's got fake boobs? Lots of girls involved in this world are required to get to ridiculously low bf %'s and end up having some silicon. She just had hers before she started...

She does actually have/had a lot of self image issues, just because she was a glamour model or conducted herself in ways others find distasteful doesn't change that, she's a product of her past, fake boobs included. I'm not a fan but I get why she's done what she's done and respect where she is now and the advocacy work she does. The boobs also don't look quite so alarming when she's not at her lowest BF but hey, if she likes them that's all that really matters!0

A lot of the women as well, probably.

Most people expressed their views respectfully, but "hot glued" or "stuck" "two rocks to her chest" isn't body shaming?
Also "ruined herself"? I think that's up to her to decide.
i'd say it's more of a reasonable description of how she looks than body shaming. people are allowed to state facts. i don't have any issues with women with implants but the size of hers make bring to mind strippers or pron stars more than fitness competitors, accountants, or doctors.
She's got a great body and if this was chit chat she'd be a 10/10 WB, but the OP asked people what they think of her body and it would ring completely false if we acted like we didn't see her boobs first and foremost and it's not a fair question if you aren't allowed to say that you don't like something.0 -

I had to google too. Not my idea of what looks good. Not the ink, not the boobs, not the tan, not the make up and hair and definitely not the muscles. But you know what? To each his or her own. If people just liked tall skinny blondes, for example, I would have never had a boyfriend or gotten married.0

That description is an analogy, not a plain fact (the facts are that she had surgery and the implants are large), and the analogy sounds mean-spirited to me. Lots of people talked about their preferences without feeling the need to go there. If you notice, most were at least cautious about how they phrased their opinions. I think that's because they recognized that she's a human being (despite being a celebrity). Who knows, she might be tracking here, and wouldn't everyone feel awkward if that were the case.
Is it possible that maybe an element of class judgement of JM is sneaking in there because of her history? I know I've seen pics of fitness competitors with comparably large boobs. Is it possibly a porn-inspired aesthetic, arguably yes - however, that's a pretty mainstream look these days, like it or not.
There was a post here before, which has been deleted, linking to an interview with her. I wish it had stayed up. The poster initially posted something I would call unkind, but edited it to express regret once they heard her speak, something like, it's different when you look at an image and when you feel like the person is real (and guess what, she is real).
God forgive me for linking to the Daily Mail but here's the interview
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2090749/Jodie-Marsh-reveals-horror-breast-enlargement.html
and another where she talks about having been bullied and the fallout from that.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2090585/Jodie-Marsh-breaks-This-Morning-talks-suicide-bullied-school.html
she was going to be a vet before she decided to be a model as a teen, to prove her bullies wrong. she apparently has the iq for it. i don't have a problem with people being models instead of vets, but it makes me sad that something like that is what influenced her decision at such a young age. she has been through a lot, and again, i think it's awesome that she feels good where she's at.0 -

all descriptions are analogies. even if someone only uses the word "big" or "small" the implication is "bigger or smaller than normal".
i've never heard of Jodie Marsh and I didn't see the link. As I'm typing this right now, I still no nothing about her beyond the 1st page of images from her google search. I'm not judging her history, her character, or her IQ. the OP asked "what do you think of this woman's body" and people, IMO, answered that question fairly and reasonably.0 -

? "Big" and "small" are indeed qualifiers that imply relative comparison, but they're not analogies*.
(And not every description is an analogy.)
*maybe in a very loose sense, or if you're referring to theories in the philosophy of language, but it wouldn't have flown in my english class0 -

Most did, some imo went that extra step into being a little mean.0 -
perhaps human beings shouldn't be allowed to ask "what do you think of X" questions because people get offended when the answer isn't "LOVE IT!!"0

i don't want to argue with you, DavPul, i have fond memories of your tiger suit0
