"There was a fairly depressing article about cellulite treatments in &amp;quot;The New York Times&amp;quot; this week (the gist: There&amp;#x27;s still no cure, and any fix out there is still very temporary). One interesting piece of takeaway--you can rate the severity of your cellulite by choosing which of the following its texture most resembles: the skin of an orange, cottage cheese, or a mattress. Last month, a new cellulite severity scale was published in the journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology--it aims to help women and their doctors more accurately quantify just how dramatic bum/thigh dimples are. One of the guidelines: If your lumps and bumps resemble an orange peel, you&amp;#x27;ve got the least severe sort. If they&amp;#x27;re more akin to cottage cheese, you&amp;#x27;re somewhere in the middle, and if your cellulite&amp;#x27;s texture is most comparable to a mattress top, you&amp;#x27;re up there at the top of the scale. The last time I checked, 92 percent of you, our blog readers, had cellulite. More than half of you say you&amp;#x27;ve got a pretty significant amount. So at least there&amp;#x27;s that--at least it happens to almost everyone. Seriously--if the vast majority of us have cellulite, who ever decided it was ugly, anyway? Why couldn&amp;#x27;t we have decided cellulite was cute, like we decided for cheek dimples? Can you imagine--maybe people would then Photoshop thigh bumps onto Giselle&amp;#x27;s photos! Anyway, let&amp;#x27;s do our own little unscientific poll: On a sale of 1 to 5--1 being barely there, 5 being severe--rate your bum bumps. On a scale of 1 to 5, I rank my cellulite a ...(polls) Take the poll, then let&amp;#x27;s discuss. Are you stressed out about cellulite this summer, or are you over even caring?
