As promised I am posting a couple of link for you to check out.
1. The spread in V magazine showing the size 2 model and the size 12 model wearing the exact same outfits! I LOVE THIS!
2. Bruce “The Boss” Springsteen shirtless… AT 60!
3. Kristen Bell dress… we LURVE her (not so much the dress)
Thoughts?
I am not crazy about the title but CNN.com is featuring an article on plus size models. Last week Sarah and I talked about a fashion spread in V magazine featuring plus size models… now CNN has picked up the same story and is expounding on it. There is a plus size (or as I like to call it – average) buzz in the fashion industry but some people believe it is just a fad and that it will be gone again in no time. I, for one, would like to see it stick around. We spend a lot of time telling people that beauty is not wrapped up in being thin and glamorous but then HELLO…you pick up a magazine and that is all you see. I understand that designers want to showcase their clothes on the body they feel makes the clothes look the best BUT what I can’t get past is that there are way more of us (plus size) than there are of them. Plus size models are size 10 and up! I would sell a kidney to be a size 10 again. AND to be honest…I don’t want to be smaller than that. It doesn’t suit my frame. At a size 10 … I look freaking awesome. I am working on it…
