Sarah Jessica Parker has thin, veiny hands.
Lots of attractive celebrities do, including Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Christie Brinkley, Pam Anderson, Meg Ryan, to name a few.
Often, slender women with lower body fat have hands where the skin is thinner and the veins protrude. Or female athletes sometimes have more muscular limbs and the veins pop out.
And there is also genetics. Maybe your mom has similar veiny hands. And as we age, the hands can appear 'bonier,' if you will.
We are in this club, too. And we were never bothered by our veiny hands until we saw gossip mags zeroing in on a celebrity's hands and finding fault with a single appendage.
How cruel + bizarre is that?!
Here's what SJP told host Andy Cohen of Watch What Happens Live earlier this week when she saw an article about her so-called witch hands:
"It was so ridiculous, so outrageous to me because, here's the thing — I will wrap this up — I love my hands. My hands, because they've always felt strong. I like that they weren't feminine, but they were like, you know, really capable… And they're my mom's hands. And I've always had super veiny hands, but this is how I was born!"
Can anything be done about one's veiny hands?
Yes....there are dermal fillers that can be injected to add volume to a bony hand, and therefore, make the veins blend in better.
We have not seen the celebs we mentioned here going for the injections, but sometimes we see a few hiding their hands like Christie + Madonna.
Shameful that women are attacked for simply trying to be themselves.
