Maybe she'll start to actually see herself as attractive. At least she's thinking about it. It's a sign of major depression when you don't want to bath or pay attention to her appearance. I know it seems like something negative but it could actually signal a sort of emotional growth spurt for Marigold.

If you've ever watched America's Top Model, you'll realize that posing to hide flaws is not unusual. Models work what they've got and photogs choose the best angles to capture that. What they can't fake, they airbrush out. Even out in public most celeb females have a specific pose and walk that enhances their beauty for photographs. Love her or hate her, but Paris Hilton knows how to work the best side of her face and how to make her body look five pounds leaner by standing a certain way. It's so hypocritical to bag on women (and it seems to generally be fat/chunky women) for attempting to work around something that they are constantly told is shameful and ugly. The real fear stems from from guys who are terrified they'd be attracted to a fatty. Oh noes!

I see nothing wrong with Marigold taking the pictures, photoshopping them, printing them, taking them to bed, and giving them soft, moist kisses (although that last might be hard on the pix unless she frames 'em first) if she likes. But after disparaging the other girls for posting such photos, I do find it a bit—something— if Marigold immediately posts her own fabricated pics. Kind of like condemning whoremongers right until the point you find your own whores to, ah, monger.

Is there one? Is there really?

Let's see how long it takes until one of those shots winds up as her Twitter picture.
Seems like most of her insecurities can be solved by simply taking care of herself. Regular showering along with diet and exercise would help a lot. :\ Didn't one strip ages ago talk about how Raven was a lot heavier in college, but started feeling better about herself (and started getting more attention) after she worked at losing weight? Sounds like these two need to meet.

As I recall, Jeph has made a point of showing us that Marigold is not nearly as self-aware as most of the rest of the cast. She wouldn't notice the hypocrisy unless it was pointed out and, even then, probably wouldn't change her behaviour much because it doesn't count if it's her...
