Hit TV series Mad Men has women and men alike going crazy but actresses like Christina Hendricks help keep things real in a skinny-driven society.
"Instead of trying to downplay your curves, find a designer or style that glorifies them," says the 34-year-old actress to magazine Marie Claire.
Adding, "There are designers who simply don’t design for people with shape and there are those — like L’Wren Scott or Roland Mouret — who do exactly that. Once you find what looks best on you, stick with it."
On playing her "smoldering" character of "Joan Holloway" on the show, Christina says she has been encouraged by the way the media and fans have treated her larger than runway figure size.
"In the beginning, it was odd to have so much attention brought to my body type. I thought, 'Uh-oh, brace yourself.' But everyone has been so positive, says Hendricks.
"During the first season, a woman came up to me at dinner and said, 'I just want to thank you — watching you has made me proud of my body.' I thought, What an amazing thing for someone to say! To make anyone feel good about themselves makes me feel good."
