Just As Beautiful?

Hey there readers!
There is a rather new lifestyle magazine on the loose called Just As Beautiful for plus sized women. I'm actually a bit insulted. Where do they get off?! Just as beautiful? Do people really think plus sized women really want to hear that? I love the idea and concept but hate the title. It was the comments left by some people mainly thin women that bothered me most. They said comments like "just lose the weight", fat women are creating more separation between thin and plus size fashion", and the stupidity goes on and on. Here was my response: "OK-
Models were meant to be thin in order to resemble a hanger so the attention is on the clothing not the person wearing them and designers made the collection in 1 size so all the models had to were the same size garment and shoe. That was for the runway only. The average woman wore and still wears a size 16. Even the nude art of yesteryear was of plump women. Somewhere along the lines, the bone-thin, airbrushed model was pinned as the face of feminine beauty thanks to the "sex sells" mantra. from that, women larger than a size 12 are told they are ugly because they are fat which couldn't be further from the truth. The worst part is that the model thin women pretend to be as curvaceous as heavier women. What woman do you know of wears a 0 dress but DD cup bra? Now that Victoria let her secret out, they all seem to be that busty.
Most designers cut off at size 12. A few like Oscar De La Renta and J Crew have a size 16 here and there but the standard cut off is 12. Where does that leave the plus size a.k.a. average woman? The nerve of some of these designers to use models like Tocarra from America's Top Model in the plus size market when she is a size 9! That is still a flat stomach! I need to know what a dress looks like on someone with muffin top or back fat. Don't waste my time having me go shopping to try on a brown dress only to look like a roasted turkey because I have no idea what the cut or style of dress would look like on someone my size. Until designers use models that can't shop Burberry or LaPerla, I think we need our own magazine thank you. I really think the name should be More Beautiful because we are and with bigger boobs."
Who would've said it better than me right?!
