The Shape Issue 2014: Mindy Over Matter

Fashion icon, writer, producer, comedienne, and one of my personal favorite women on television takes shape as Mindy Kaling.  Kaling is a veteran of The Office, a writer for television and her very own memoir, a talented actress, and "the first Indian-American to have her own network show."

Kaling has been making me laugh since I was 12, and she has only made me laugh harder and harder every year since.  Compared to classic stylish comediennes Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett, Kaling has a kind of natural charisma about her that is nearly impossible to find in television, or just in people in general.  Kaling relates the to idea of shape because she is constantly making fun of her own weight.  A size 10, she is not overweight.  However, that is simply not the case when it comes to Hollywood.  Kaling has an ability to laugh at herself that most people covet.  She is creating a spot for herself in our world as this hilariously charming public figure--a lovably funny woman, which is something America hasn't seen in a very long time.
