Being A Plus-sized Model

~This has been a debate that hasnt brought forth any reasons why plus sizes are not gettin any hype as much as the size 0 whoo haa!!!

~I personally find it appauling as realistically,there are more plus size women out there that feel pressured into becomin stick thin just to be in the norm,from covers of magazines to the catwalk,its all about slim,slender and what i'll call anorexic looking women,girls

~Its so ironic as we have people starving from lack of food yet people who have access to food,choose to starve themselves silly

~I can't believe girls as young as 8 are anorexic  ,all because they feel pressured in thinking thin is beautiful,now that is just real sick,sad,yet no-one wants to accept the blame for this silly notion of been skinny,the models pass the book to the designers,the magazines blame the fashion industry,its just crazy!!!


~I would love to see more plus size women embracin being voluptuous and still enjoyin the era of fashion as it is today,sayin that though,fashion as it is today,hasnt got room for plus size women on the catwalk!!! no "ifs" or "buts" about it,sad fact!!! a plus size chick can't even make it to the final three in ANTM  ,this just goes to show the fashion industry plays a huge role in making that dream possible!!!

~However,i'd like to think there's hope for more deals for plus size women out there,if just one heavy weight designer  takes on this venture am sure lots more will follow,what are the chances of that happening 

~I recall watchin a programme where Louis Redknap {a footballers wife} a size 8 did a show on channel 4 to prove how dangerous it is for women to be a size 0,the moral of her goin through this ordeal was clear,in two months,she was to get into a size 0 dress ,somehow,she succeeded in showin girls out there the diets/ways to achieve the infamous size 0,it was sad to see her efforts go friutless

~My point been,the craze to be size 0 is more overwhelmin,i guess our mind projects what we see as beautiful on covers of magazines,celebreties etc,forgettin all sense of  reasoning goes out of the window,as in health issues!!!

~Good luck w/your dream,hope you get to fly the flag for the plus size women out there

Women are so lucky

There's always someone looking out for you! If you eat too much and become fat you are no longer fat but plus sized what about the fat boys can't they be plus sized too?

I was watching BET's rip the runway and they were showcasing the big and tall selection. All the women were over 200 pounds (90.718474) Kg. However the men were 6ft 5 300 pounds all muscle. Why didn't they use 300 pound fat men? don't they exist aren't they big?

Talk about robbing us of our self esteem, are we not brainlessly bombarded by Gucci Ad's, calvin Klein ad's, movie stars like James Bond?

@ Topic don't mind them joooo, all those anorexic women.

Not to worry, there are still some of us who appreciate plus size women.  And who love them like mad

Dont let anyone put you down. Big is definitely better, hell yeah!! 

Good luck with your dream/vision , by the way, wishing  you d best!

someday soon skeletons would dominate the runways all in the name of fashion, but come to think of it what happens when you've got a plus-size model walking down the runway with plenty flesh hanging out of your haute couture design. IS that still a part of knowing what "it" would look like on her!!!!

skeletons have already dominated the runways. 

@piscean ,cuteass understands the topic nd she has jst said all that needs to be said concerning your post.

but speaking on hanging fleshes on the coutoure designs,brings me back to the idea of wanting to ve plus size ladies walk the catwalk,it shows a lot of creativity on the designers part in that u know the rite cloth for the rite size.
I mean u are not going to let a size16 grace the catwalk in some tightass mini or showbele top _lol but y'all get what i mean rite?

you're right on that too ooh @ zigbo

but the thing is just like we want to dicourage skeletons, we should also discourage those that think food, is "the topic of the day"

so not too much hanging out either, they should encourage the girls that if they keep fit, eat with grace, do some exercise, they'll be healthy and fit

some, no matter what they do, they'll remain slendrer, and some will remain chubby

we just don't want them to think skinny is the order of the day. Everything with proportion

the truth is that it is genetically impossible for some people to be thin. thats just not their body type. as long as they exercise and eat healthy , they are fine.

good luck

i don't see anything wrong with having little flesh (but not too much).
some of these chics eat a lot but it's their nature to remain skinny.
what they don't understand these days is that everybody mustn't be skinny.
some are big and still beautiful. Personally i don't like chics that are too skinny.

@ cute-ass
how u doin girl?

@ nigerbobo

eeewwwwww  ,  they look like bones with skin,  soooo not cute

How did you shrink those models.
I am sure I have seen one of the normal pictures.

omg  ,those pictures are horrendous. When i was talkin about girls wanting to push limits to what they could look like, i never for once thot it was that bad.

The problem i have with must women is that most want to loss weight.Imagine a "big bone" trying to losss weight.We have all forgotten that God created us differently. big ,small, short ,tall.Althouh am not in support of being fat in excess,iT IS imporant to know that we are influenced by the society.

Ladies,
I guess it's a moment in time madness. And a time will come that all the craze, media exagerations and hypes for skeleton/skinny ladies will slow down.
I my opinion, that's even already happening, despite the fact that fashion magazines wants us to believe otherwise.
If you look at the "drop-waist" (Don't actally know what its called, I was in Nigeria last december and some girl told me that's what they call it) jeans design that's been in vogue for a few years now, In my opinion, it fits and suits ladies with curves more than the skinny types.
And our famous, talented, beatiful, latin-American singer/actress of world fame: J-LO. Has shown and proven that being skinny is not the only pre-requisite for being beautiful, gracious, elegant, fashionable and sexy! It's all between the ears and as they say: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
For me, i'll say gimme them ladies with the flesh in the right place/proportion anyday, anytime. Hahahaha!!

Zebudaya,your post was kindda uninformed. Not all big people eat all the food in the world,it doesnt work that way.
Take me for instance,the thinnest i have ever been in my life is a size 12. No matter how hard i try i just can never be thin. I hardly eat,in a day,i might just have a bite or pinch of something and this has been going on for months. The day i start to eat 3 square meals a day is the day i would baloon up meanwhile i have a friend who eats like a horse and remains a cute size 8. Right now am a size 16 and eventhough it would be nice to be slimmer, i still think am the finest woman to walk the face of the earth!!!lol (na joke o! I wowo!)

Anyway,what am trying to say is some people can just never be thin and as long as you're comfortable in the skin you're born in and you wear the right clothes. . . . what else?
