Fashionable or not the world loves big women – Fashion news.
Why are skinny women so popular? People want what they can’t have. But no matter what you say, the world loves big women and so do I.
By the time your over 25 your body and fat have become friends. As you grow older your waist tends to grow bigger. Most of the women that populate the earth are not thin models. They are bigger women. For centuries, famous artists chose robust women as the subjects of their masterworks.
Your mom is probably big. If she isn’t then your friends mom is.
Well, what about the fashion world? “V” magazine dedicated a recent issue to plus sized models featuring beautiful creatures dressed in fashion and dressed in nothing. What does this mean to the fashion world? Is it just for press? Is it a publicity stunt? Or does America want to see larger women instead of the thin models that have populated magazines for years? I don’t know what the answer is and I guess it depends on who you ask.
What I do know is this:
Trends come and go. Big is beautiful. Skinny is beautiful. The fashion world is prejudiced and so am I. So are you.

ABC & Fox Censor Plus Sized Model Television Commercial
ABC & Fox Censor Plus Sized Model Television Commercial
Everyone is familiar with the enourmously popular Victoria’s Secret ads on cable television featuring sultry vixens in their skivvy’s and whispering sweetness to our ears. Those ads are everywhere, we love them and no one seem to have a problem. However, a new ad for Lane Bryant’s plus sized lingerie line is creating quite a stir. According to Adweek TV networks like Fox and ABC are requirng Lane Bryant to censor their ads or they won’t show them on the air.
The ad was supposed to run during “Dancing With The Stars” last night, but ABC refused to run the spot. Fox demand major changes before it would air the commercial.”
“While it’s no secret that Victoria’s Secret ‘The Nakeds’ ads are prancing around on major networks leaving little to the imagination, steaming up TV screens and baring nearly everything but their souls, our sultry siren who shows sophisticated sass is somehow deemed inappropriate … Does this smack of a double standard? Yep. It does to us, too,” Lane Bryant
said in a blog post.
Here is the controversial video. Looks pretty tame to me.

Replacing Skinny Models With Plus Sized Models Doesn’t Show Sales Increase According To Study
Replacing Skinny Models With Plus Sized Models Doesn’t Show Sales Increase According To Study
According to researches done at ASU, the University of Cologne in Germany and Erasmus University in the Netherlands, the increasingly frequent practice of putting plus sized models in ads does not increase sales.
“We believe it is unlikely that many brands will gain market share by using heavy models in their ads. We found that overweight consumers demonstrated lower self-esteem – and therefore probably less enthusiasm about buying products – after exposure to any size models in ads (versus ads with no models). Also, normal-weight consumers experienced lower self-esteem after exposure to moderately heavy models, such as those in Dove soap’s ‘Real Women’ campaign, than after exposure to moderately thin models.”
“If they viewed a moderately thin model, they felt similar and good; if they saw a moderately heavy model, they worried they were similar and overweight.”
