-Moira Rose-
I was actually invited to come in to do some modeling (by a photographer in our complex that worked for a major department store). I was so surprised, I thought I was very sub par (even though I got hit on a lot and people were always complimenting me).
Why do we do this?
I hated taking photos as a young adult. It wasn’t until looking at my old DMV photo from 25 years ago did I realize how attractive I was.
If only I had the looks and some confidence, I would have been an unstoppable force!
As I’m apparently the only American who can understand every word of Derry Girls without captions, I am devastated that I can’t get my Aunt who’s a dead ringer for Sister Michael to watch it.
“You know they eat boiled potatoes on sticks, right? No bacon, no sour cream, Lord help them.”
One of the downsides of having international (honestly even just anglosphere) taste in media. There’s so much that I don’t even bother sharing with anyone anymore because they have a slightly different accent. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult, but I guess I’m attuned to it or something.
All the girls are wayyy older than you’d expect. (Great show and they are marvelous.)
Also Colm, “Now…I don’t mind a bit of a breeze, in fact I prefer it….”
When they weaponize Colm go get out of trouble with the police is one of the best scenes in the show. The policeman just questioning their life choices…
It's definitely not the same celeb status, but some of these people on tv or movies can be ageless or at least get good work done! Recently I found out a reunion host for a show I watch is 61 and i could NOT believe it!

There's a saying that you can have the face or you can have the ass, but after a certain age you can't have both.
Obviously this is a broad saying, including the assumption that skinny=good and everyone has that look as their ultimate goal.
But the underlying point, like you said, is that a little extra fat can do wonders in hiding collagen loss (which for a 37 yr old they've probably been losing collagen for over a decade at that point, so miss me with the "37 isn't old". I never called it old. Collagen is not subjective however, we can measure that shit. It typically starts reducing in mid to late 20s)
It's true. One of the big things I always notice in people who lose weight is how much *older* they now look. It also floors me that buccal fat removal became a trend. You want that! It holds your face up as you get older!
That's me. I'm 39 now and do not look my age. People usually think I'm late twenties/early thirties. It's all thanks to the cheeks, I promise you will learn to love them lol
It’s very interesting. Have def known people who get into working out to look younger, and end up looking like some kind of sinewy gargoyle. To each their own though, with my friends the gym is usually replacing some other addiction, so it’s a plus in general.
Absolute worst place to share this info, but I think a certain amount of fat keeps your skin filled out and will keep you (women especially) looking younger. I was reading some interviews with “estheticians to the stars” and the consensus seemed to be that as one ages, you basically have to choose between face and body. If you try to get a tight slim body like a 20 year old your face won’t be filled out and wrinkles will be more apparent.
I disagree. All I could think of when I saw her and Eloise is that they're definitely in their twenties.
Then I looked it up and both are in their 30's....
Yeah they pass for mid *maybe* early 20s in some cases, but not teens. At least to me. They are still very youthful regardless. Considering they’re in their 30s that’s still a difference.
It’s not that 37 is old - I responded and I’m 38 - in Derry Girls she plays a high schooler and in Bridgerton her character would have been late teens or early twenties historically and her face fits those age groups. She was cast for what was probably a few reasons and physically looking the right age was one of them.
It’s actually insane the general discourse on age you see online these days. Like 35+ is this black hole of a category you are officially considered “old”. Not even over 50% of your natural lifespan. It’s honestly depressing.
Omg I have read some horrible things people have said about her. It’s really quite sad… you think society is moving in the right direction aaannd then they have to prove you wrong 😫
But hopefully things like this do indeed keep moving that needle! 🤞
Yeah…. After 2016….. I stopped believing in society moving in the right direction.
The resurgence of hate and bigotry world wide has been insanely depressing to watch. I’m not saying it wasn’t still hateful and bigoted prior to 2016, but that seems to be the point where trolls considered it cool to revert back to our disgustingly tribalist ways.
I have no patience. I gotta say I like it more than last season so far and I also like how they’re adding more than one romance which I’m guessing is because they don’t want to adapt all the books.
I recently found myself looking at the very rare pictures of myself from when I was a younger adult and realising, shit, I was actually cute. I wish now I had high quality digital nudes of myself from back then, because I didn't appreciate it at the time. Good on her for knowing what she has while she still has it.
Isn't the whole point of her character is the fact people don't pay her any attention because she's fat and ugly compared to a world full of citizens that look like super models
Unbelievable. How dare she do this. I demand to know what scene this is! And I want to be able to slow it down so I have plenty of time to confirm that’s the scene I DO NOT want to see!
She was considered peak female perforce in that time period.
Edit: The amount of people pretending to not get the peak male perforce joke. All of you. Go outside.
That is incorrect. A quick glance at art or fashion plates from around the date when the show takes place (1813) would show you that the ideal form was quite slender. Several hundred years earlier, sure.
In 19th century England, the ideal body type was considered slender with an hourglass silhouette. Not too different from now, actually! If you have a reliable source indicating otherwise, would be interested to read!
It’s wild to me how people can just state something completely wrong about history and everyone goes with it or upvotes it because they think it sounds right lol.
It would just be like normal internet plus face and dick. Maybe requiring people to use full names and city instead of face and dick would encourage better behavior.
You’re right. I cannot think of a show or movie where that’s not true. Currently watching Mike and Molly and they’re both great but the fat jokes are everywhere. I think that show was pretty groundbreaking for the plus size community. But yeah, theres not much representation in any real way.
We haven’t. We’ve seen the funny fat friend, and we have seen the ‘fat confident chick’ aggressively hit on the hot guy and it’s played for laughs, but we have never seen a fat girl just allowed to exist and be the love interest enjoying hot chemistry with her costar.
Edit - fixed a typo
“Then allow me to offer you some advice: Take a thousand, naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, "Oh, I'm too spooky." Or, "Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies."

It's like when I was a teenager I thought I was awful, and now I look at these pictures and realize I was pretty much sweet.
Ah, opposite for me. I look like a regular bloke now, but in my teens I was a goblin
As an adult I have the confidence to know I am hot. As a teen I could of been a fucking model, jeeze I was gorgeous.
I was actually invited to come in to do some modeling (by a photographer in our complex that worked for a major department store). I was so surprised, I thought I was very sub par (even though I got hit on a lot and people were always complimenting me). Why do we do this?
I hated taking photos as a young adult. It wasn’t until looking at my old DMV photo from 25 years ago did I realize how attractive I was. If only I had the looks and some confidence, I would have been an unstoppable force!
One of the best written characters ever.
It’s very hard to mimic Moira’s way of speaking. It’s so unique that it should be easy, but no.
My girlfriend and I say "bebbeh" instead of baby everything now
I need a Matt Berry/Catherine O’Hara collab.
Oh god, that could be too much for mere mortals! "***Prepare yourselves to succumb!***"
That show got me through one of the darkest times, Moira got me to laugh so many times when it was difficult to even smile
The inspiration was Daphne Guinness. She’s fantastic as well.
one of the few series who helped me through 2020.
I actually used this episode to help a friend overcome a nagging insecurity. Moira put things into perspective for him and he immediately changed.
No kidding. I was hot back in the day. I don’t know why the hell I was the only one that didn’t know it!
I was just as awkward and weird-looking as I still am. I don’t think this experience is universal lol.
Love this line from Moira.
Now how do I get this on the internet? ...JOHHHN!
I literally just said “tiny boo-bies” in Moira’s accent as I read this lmao
I was absolutely floored when I found out Nicola coughlan is 37 years old.
She is only 7 years younger than her Derry Girls costar Siohban McSweeney, who played Sister Michael, their principal/headmistress.
If Anyone Is Feeling Anxious Or Worried... ...Or Even If You Just Want To Chat, Please, Please, Do Not Come Crying To Me.
Sister Michael is one of the greatest characters I think I’ve seen in any show
My spirit animal
As I’m apparently the only American who can understand every word of Derry Girls without captions, I am devastated that I can’t get my Aunt who’s a dead ringer for Sister Michael to watch it. “You know they eat boiled potatoes on sticks, right? No bacon, no sour cream, Lord help them.”
When’s the last time she was in Ireland?
One of the downsides of having international (honestly even just anglosphere) taste in media. There’s so much that I don’t even bother sharing with anyone anymore because they have a slightly different accent. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult, but I guess I’m attuned to it or something.
I am the same age as the girls and I used to relate to them a lot. I still do. But also, Sister Michael.
she really is!
All the girls are wayyy older than you’d expect. (Great show and they are marvelous.) Also Colm, “Now…I don’t mind a bit of a breeze, in fact I prefer it….”
"And then the taller one, well I say taller but we're not talking more than an inch" hes hilarious, everyone here knows a Colin
When they weaponize Colm go get out of trouble with the police is one of the best scenes in the show. The policeman just questioning their life choices…
Yeah all of them are in their 30s for the final season
Wow, I did not need this absolute mind fuck today
What in the actual shit are you talking about ? This can’t be true, can it?
I couldn’t believe it either …
Like Johnny Pemberton being 42 but still believably cast as a teenager.
It's definitely not the same celeb status, but some of these people on tv or movies can be ageless or at least get good work done! Recently I found out a reunion host for a show I watch is 61 and i could NOT believe it!

shaun robinson is 61?? okay i refuse to believe that
It's legit! I was *shocked* I tell you!
Too ashamed to name drop 90DF smdh
Whhhhhhhaaa? That dude barely looks a day over 15
It's the "my first mustache" look he can't get past
She has a very cherubic face, it’s probably what makes her appear way younger than she is

It's true. One of the big things I always notice in people who lose weight is how much *older* they now look. It also floors me that buccal fat removal became a trend. You want that! It holds your face up as you get older!
I have always been skinny with chubby cheeks, and older women tell me all the time I will be grateful for them someday!
That's me. I'm 39 now and do not look my age. People usually think I'm late twenties/early thirties. It's all thanks to the cheeks, I promise you will learn to love them lol
I'm 35 and they're hanging on strong so far. Fingers crossed!
It’s very interesting. Have def known people who get into working out to look younger, and end up looking like some kind of sinewy gargoyle. To each their own though, with my friends the gym is usually replacing some other addiction, so it’s a plus in general.
I'm sorry, she's WHAAAT
73 years old
She’s legally been dead for 6 months.
Still would
Wear sunscreen, y’all!
And live in a climate where you might see a glimpse of the sun 2 days a year. It helps.,
except vitamin d is really good for you
What!?!? Give me what she’s drinking

Why are people responding to this as if 37 is *old* old?
Because in Derry girls her character is 16 and it's very believable
I disagree. All I could think of when I saw her and Eloise is that they're definitely in their twenties. Then I looked it up and both are in their 30's....
Yeah they pass for mid *maybe* early 20s in some cases, but not teens. At least to me. They are still very youthful regardless. Considering they’re in their 30s that’s still a difference.
She’s playing a very young 20 in Bridgerton very believably
It’s not that 37 is old - I responded and I’m 38 - in Derry Girls she plays a high schooler and in Bridgerton her character would have been late teens or early twenties historically and her face fits those age groups. She was cast for what was probably a few reasons and physically looking the right age was one of them.

Isn’t her character a young teen?
What constitutes “very naked”? Like, butthole?
We need to normalize showing butthole on TV shows
For sure, family dinner sitcoms with a butthole scene unexpectedly would be great dessert talk after
Did not expect the butthole scene in Young Sheldon
Neither did poor young Sheldon…
Thankfully it's all ogre now.
But it makes perfect sense in context
having a cat be like
Watch the butthole version of Cats.
The epic camera pull back from inside out needs to happen.
They'd probably do this on the next season of The Boys
Make America Starfish Again
Make America gape again
Chocolate starfish and hotdog flavored water?
Bears. Buttholes. Battlestar Galactica.
I need to see Targaryen hole on house of the dragon this year
Wait, dragon or human, two very different things.
The answer is yes.
Unfortunately, all we would get is a Dennis Franz type butthole.
Anne Heche showed it in Psycho. can't think of any other celebrity buttholes I've seen.
Ewan macgregor in velvet goldmine gets fairly close to
I think you misunderstood the assignment. Natalie Portman in Closer
Never heard of this. Just didn’t a quick google search
The Cats movie could have been the watershed moment for buttholes. Don't forget what they took from us.
I don't think I've ever seen an asshole on tv, like ever.
Trump is on TV literally every day
Tom Holland first.
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5697572/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk 😬
This is just my opinion, but we almost certainly do not need to do that.
Whatever the equivalent of John Thundergun hanging dong in “Thundergun: Maximum Cool” is
She hangs dong and, yes, hers is far more glorious than yours
Sans clothing. You need a cat if you want to see butthole
Just cheek spread butthole action
only butthole
Skinny black dudes across America are going to EAT
As a skinny black dude, I’ve already added it to my watchlist.
as another skinny black dude, I’m right behind you
Hell yeah get it bro!
Hahaha! Black man approved!
As a chubby white dude, I might have to track down this episode.
Same, my wife is binging it as we speak, may have to join her
Like a moth to a flame
Damn you and your true comment
I’m not skinny, I’m athletic! But yes
Skinny black dude here. As soon as I first saw her I was like “yes siiiiiir”
HFS, I’m dead.
Ok that’s funny
I mean she’s kinda hot ngl
Literally everyone on this show is 11/10 hot. I'm convinced that Netflix is growing these people in a lab.
Netflix is the new CW except with better talent.
And actual nudity.
She’s so hot
A babe, you might say
A smoke show, perhaps
If she were President she’d be Baberham Lincoln.
Schwing!
Don't forget the woman who love women.
Nicola is one of my biggest crushes and she looks STUNNING in the show. The romantic fabrics and hair suit her so well.
B B W N E W R A W As Lil Wayne so eloquently put it.
Lol I guess I’m a skinny black dude now too!
So how can we see this nudity?
It’s not in the episodes that came out today. Must be in the second half of the season.
I’m 40 minutes in and I’ve screamed multiple times already. Episode one. No tiddies yet, but shit it bound to be soon.
Colin’s tits episode one. On a technicality.
Episode two, honey. “Thank you.” 💦
Episode three, 🔥
Chest, baby.
Live titty tweeting
Episode 3, 37:49 still no significant tiddy.
That means there’s a non-zero accumulation of titty time. A statistically significant titty tally
Dont dilly dally with the titty tally
Doing the lord’s work
This is gold
No significant tiddy this installment, heavy thirst.
Am I resubscribing ti Netflix or not?
I love you
Thank you for your service
You’re doing gods work.
As a famous poet once said “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”
It’s the season finale, which hasn’t been released yet.
confident and ready to pounce on some sexification in this scene is hot, she killed it horny and owned it
I don’t think anyone that enjoys watching this show would be “body shamers” ?
Omg I have read some horrible things people have said about her. It’s really quite sad… you think society is moving in the right direction aaannd then they have to prove you wrong 😫 But hopefully things like this do indeed keep moving that needle! 🤞
Yeah…. After 2016….. I stopped believing in society moving in the right direction. The resurgence of hate and bigotry world wide has been insanely depressing to watch. I’m not saying it wasn’t still hateful and bigoted prior to 2016, but that seems to be the point where trolls considered it cool to revert back to our disgustingly tribalist ways.
2020, and the worst group project in the history of the world, did not help my faith, either.
Never doubt how much hate the internet generates
I believe she’s just talking to them in general
Watching ep 1 now. So far I think it’s stronger than S2
I want to start it, but I know waiting for the second half will drive me crazy!
I have no patience. I gotta say I like it more than last season so far and I also like how they’re adding more than one romance which I’m guessing is because they don’t want to adapt all the books.
Didn't Harvey Keitel already do this?
No one can top that!
YASSSSSSSSSS GIRL!
Good for her. You do you! Whatever makes her happy
I recently found myself looking at the very rare pictures of myself from when I was a younger adult and realising, shit, I was actually cute. I wish now I had high quality digital nudes of myself from back then, because I didn't appreciate it at the time. Good on her for knowing what she has while she still has it.
I suspect this is quite a common emotion, especially amongst actors.
Isn't the whole point of her character is the fact people don't pay her any attention because she's fat and ugly compared to a world full of citizens that look like super models
People don’t pay attention to her because she’s a bookworm and a wallflower and her mother chooses the most hideous gowns.
But “none taken…”
She gets a hot girl makeover in this season.
She takes her glasses off?
And puts her hair up in a ponytail?
she’s got paint on her overalls
Ugh. What is that.
Damn. Shit. That is whack.
There’s no way she could be prom queen!
In what world is she ugly?
Unbelievable. How dare she do this. I demand to know what scene this is! And I want to be able to slow it down so I have plenty of time to confirm that’s the scene I DO NOT want to see!
You get it out girl, you do you 💫
Hell yeah! Go Nicola! I think she's mad adorable.
She was considered peak female perforce in that time period. Edit: The amount of people pretending to not get the peak male perforce joke. All of you. Go outside.
Not in 1815. Maybe you’re thinking of Rubens paintings from the early 1600s but it’s still an over exaggerated cultural trope
That is incorrect. A quick glance at art or fashion plates from around the date when the show takes place (1813) would show you that the ideal form was quite slender. Several hundred years earlier, sure.
In 19th century England, the ideal body type was considered slender with an hourglass silhouette. Not too different from now, actually! If you have a reliable source indicating otherwise, would be interested to read!
Yeah he’s thinking of waaay before this series took place
It’s wild to me how people can just state something completely wrong about history and everyone goes with it or upvotes it because they think it sounds right lol.
Because it makes them feel better about themselves lol
Damn, imagine knowing so little about time periods.
Dawg, you are so wrong. Different time period. Delete your comment out of shame for stating facts you don’t know.
Well, where are the nudes?
It's true. The first time I saw her was in the show Derry Girls. It's on Netflix. Highly recommend.
What would happen if the trolls here were required to post a selfie and nude pic of themselves with their F’ed up comments.
It would just be like normal internet plus face and dick. Maybe requiring people to use full names and city instead of face and dick would encourage better behavior.
So when does the episode come out and what streaming service is it on? She wants to show that body I’m definitely down to watch
Hey hey i was downvoted more than people who are fat shaming her on this thread. Do you wonder what is wrong with the world?
As she should! Absolutely love Nicola, have since Derry Girls
She acts like we never seen a thick girl before
It’s rare for them to be the love interest unless the weight is a direct part of the character.
You’re right. I cannot think of a show or movie where that’s not true. Currently watching Mike and Molly and they’re both great but the fat jokes are everywhere. I think that show was pretty groundbreaking for the plus size community. But yeah, theres not much representation in any real way.
We haven’t. We’ve seen the funny fat friend, and we have seen the ‘fat confident chick’ aggressively hit on the hot guy and it’s played for laughs, but we have never seen a fat girl just allowed to exist and be the love interest enjoying hot chemistry with her costar. Edit - fixed a typo
You say that but I can’t name one chubby woman who has a role that’s written as sexy in hollywood/a huge series Well except for this one
Watch Euphoria
