I personally do not like fat models because when I'm shopping online, I really don't want to see things like this:
If you go to the website, you can see how the dress is actually supposed to fit [see mannequin].
Compare how the peplum is being stretched out across her enormous midsection.
And those poor shoes- having to hold all that weight up.
And that color? That much color all in one place makes her kind of look like the cookie monster.
(maybe she is and that's how she got so huge???)
I know this probably makes me a horrible person and an eating disorder enthusiast, but there's a point behind this, I promise.
Models this large do not make the clothes look good nor do they convince me that the clothes would look good on myself.
#model fail
Also, at this point, we're really just promoting obesity and that it's okay to have Type II Diabetes by the time you're 24.
#social fail
I don't think scrawny anorexic chicken legs modeling is the way to go either. Models should be displaying normal sized body types. "Normal", to me, still encompasses a wide range of weights for girls (100-150 lbs).
But close to 200?
No.
You shouldn't be a model.
And if you think about it, obesity should be classified as an eating disorder,

absolutely right

ReplyDelete<|owner|Zavior> This article made me giggle. Read and discuss for the lulz. http://thewhimsicalscribbler.blogspot.com/2013/05/frittatas_3.html
[01:05] <|voice|USER1> In my opinion, clothing should only be manufactured in the sizes on which it is intended to flatter.
[01:05] <|voice|USER2> 67% or more of women are obese. I'm not saying that's a good thing but we shouldnt be giving them a negative self image either. pisses me off that there's no good fashion for bigger people. always has. i agree that dress looks like hell on her.
<|voice|USER2> but she should be able to model things but dont stick her in a momo or a single tone boring dress
<|voice|USER1> No, I mean they shouldn't make skinny jeans bigger than size 16s, and they shouldn't make low-cut cleavage tops smaller than size 6.
[01:08] <|voice|USER2> but i also dont think tight fiting clothes are necessarily bad for big people as long as they're tailored properly
[01:08] <|voice|USER3> One thing that struck me out of that page was "
[01:08] <|voice|USER3> And if you think about it, obesity should be classified as an eating disorder"
[01:08] <|voice|USER3> ... how the hell is obesity *not* considered an eating disorder?
<|owner|Zavior> Obesity isn't just caused by diet.
[01:09] <|voice|USER2> obesity isnt an eating disorder its a symptom of eating disorders
[01:09] <|voice|USER2> it can also be a symptom of medical issues
[01:09] <|owner|Zavior> Like the betis.
[01:09] <|voice|USER2> hm.. sometimes
[01:09] <|voice|USER2> usually diabetic people that are overweight though have trouble with their diet as well
[01:13] <|owner|Zavior> I don't like muscle shirts.
[01:13] <|owner|Zavior> AKA, the man tank top.
[01:14] <|owner|Zavior> They only look good on people with muslces, or people with nice figures and boobs.
[01:14] <|voice|USER3> Tank tops are only acceptable during actual exercise.
[01:14] <|owner|Zavior> Well... nice figures in both situations. :x
[01:14] <|voice|USER1> I think the way men's shirts are sized works out better, because the guys who are self-conscious about their figured wear the loose shirts, and the ones who work on thier bodeis wear muscle shirts.
[01:14] <|voice|USER3> Proper tailoring:
[01:15] <|owner|Zavior> I work on my body....
[01:15] <|owner|Zavior> But I should >>never<< wear one until I actually develop muscles. :P
[01:16] <|voice|USER1> My point is that you can always be sure that the guys who bother to wear muscle shirts are the guys who look good in them.
[01:16] <|voice|USER1> Not the same problem with women buying shirts that are "cute" but don't match her body type.
[01:16] <|owner|Zavior> I've seen guys that wear them... that really shouldn't.
[01:16] <|owner|Zavior> Maybe that's a GA douche bag thing only. :v
