Do people think she is in bad shape? I don't think she's in 'bad' shape, figure wise. It's a treat to see some variety in this homogenous culture. I guess she would only be in a bad or unproper shape if she was actually unwell.
I think she looks fine. Her problem isn't her figure, it's that she doesn't know how to dress it. There have been some pictures (usually at events) where she looks smoking hot to my eyes. And then the next day she walks out into the street wearing skin-tight leggings (complete with cameltoe) and a t-shirt that looks more like a muumuu than a shirt. She has a really nice body, one that would look sexy in a lot of outfits that people with less curvy figures wouldn't be able to pull off*, but I get the sense that she doesn't know that, and that's kind of sad and infuriating at the same time.
*Of course, I know she's a mom and has a busy life and her bread and butter isn't looking hot, it's being a singer. But if I saw a woman out on the street wearing some of what we've seen her wear in pap photos, I would think... well, I don't know what I would think, because I've never seen anyone dressed so sloppily. I understand she might not want to get dressed up to run errands, but in my experience, it takes less time to put on a skirt or pants than it does to put on leggings. Jeans or khakis and t-shirt can be just as casual, and would look miles better. Heck, I'd prefer fleece pajama pants at this point; I genuinely believe they would look better on her figure.
(OMG, that turned into a rant, which wasn't my intention when I started typing. I just wanted to agree that her figure is still great! But apparently I still have very strong ~feelings~ about the leggings.
This whole dark, dreary leggings period has made me crazy, idk.)
