Don't call

Christina Hendricks

"full-figured." Just don't.

The Mad Men star was flustered when Australian fashion editor Kate Waterhouse used it in a TV chat.

"You have been an inspiration as a full-figured woman," asked Waterhouse. Hendricks glared. She became more agitated when the question was repeated. "I mean, you just said it again," the curvy thesp said. Later she said, "Calling me full-figured is just rude."
