Women = Curves

I would love to see plus sized models TAKEOVER 2010. I am over the waif look.
I mean, not everyone wants to look that. Not everyone can look like that and not everyone wants to develop an eating disorder. I think that the media is so judgemental and people can be so cruel that they are making it harder for equality in the fashion industry.

Women have curves and I want to dedicate this blog to that. So curvy beautiful traffic stopping women. DO YOUR THING.
You are beautiful and don't let anyone tell you any different.

PS. Some of the plus sized models out there don't even LOOK plus sized! *EYE ROLL*
But anywho....
2010= CURVACEOUSNESS

Did you know:

* A standard designer sample is a size 0 to 4, which means magazines can only feature the clothes on models that size.

* The definition of “plus-size” in the modeling industry isn’t necessarily the same as plus-size clothing. Any model over a size 6 is generally considered plus because she won’t fit into most designer samples, but plus-size clothing starts at size 14 or 16.

* Most designer collections run up to a size 10 or 12, even though the most popular dress size for American women is a size 14.

*MICHAEL Michael Kors, Isaac Mizrahi for Liz Claiborne new York and Baby Phat represent a relatively small percentage of designers who maek plus-size collections in sizes beyond 14.

*There’s a shortage of models that are size 16 plus. Jennie Runk, a size 12, admits she’s often much smaller than the plus-size samples she models, so “I’ll sometimes wear padding. I travel with my own set. It’s a series of foam ovals and circles you can put on your butt hips, waist or boobs so you can fit the clothes.” Jennie adds, “The true sign of a great designer is someone who can fit the curves.”
