Congratulations to the 41 year old Latina star who has made people of color, especially the Latino community proud while making rounded rears more acceptable in the mainstream US media.
I'm not mad at the Brooklyn native and mother of twins for snagging the title. The fact that she won the title as a mother is a remarkable testament to her hard work and dedication to getting back in shape.
In my opinion the title should be renamed People Magazine’s World’s Most Beautiful Woman in Popular Media. Even with a title change I don't know if J Lo should win it. However, I know many personal trainers, dieticians, doctors, plastic surgeons, clothiers, designers, stylists, publicists, strategists, image makers etc had a lot to do with her winning the title and since money, which is what all these professionals charge talks the loudest, J Lo deserves to win.
In her People Magazine interview, she said she has a skincare regimen, endures grueling workouts, and eats a portion-controlled diet to keep in shape. All which she rightfully says are requirements of the job. This lady even ran a triathlon six months after she gave birth! She also said, “I don't want anybody thinking it's easy. It does take time and it's hard work. HDTV wide-screen is nobody's friend!"
However, her win is still surprising to me considering that Jennifer Lopez's own father said many years ago when she was newly emerging as a star that she is not his most beautiful daughter, but she's the one with the drive and ambition to do what it takes to become a star. This confirms my point. I'm sure there are more beautiful women than J Lo, but they aren't included in People Magazine's search list. Hence, they should change the title.
Congratulations again J Lo, I hope you act like you're still "Jenny From The Block" by remembering to share the award with your beautiful sister who isn't in the media spotlight.
