Katy Perry has a revealing interview with Elle Magazine where she discusses her own body image, her marriage to comedian Russell Brand… including what she weighs NOW, and how she used to be 15 pounds heavier…
“I was shaped like a square at one time. I was! I’m generally around 130 pounds, which is totally fine for me. But when I was a kid, I was the same height and weighed more like 145. And I had enormous boobs that I didn’t know what to do with, so I wore minimizers, which were not cute. Those thick-ass straps! I got made fun of for the over-the-shoulder boulder holder…and all I wanted was to look like Kate Moss. Little did I know…that these things would come in handy someday.”
Indeed they have. In her music videos they have bounced around wearing whipped cream, had sparklers coming out of them, and they were the central reason that her Sesame Street Sketch with Elmo was pulled. All in all, they’ve provided a fair amount of publicity!
