Ok so I know I said this blog was about keeping in touch with home but I've decided I want to write about things that inspire, amuse or whatever, today it's something that annoyed me.
I'm a size 12 so considered a plus size which I'm happy with, I have curves and I love them but surely encouraging a woman who is a size 32 and weighing in at 18 and a half stone to model is wrong. She was sat scantily dressed on the cover of a magazine, a magazine which frequently endorses the "anorexic" models that we're used to.
Surely that in todays society with all of the controversy over dress sizes and perfect weight this story should be just as disputed as models who wear nothing and weigh nothing but no surprisingly this woman was praised. Brave. Brave was what she was called , now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that was easy for her, but how is that appropriate to be on the front cover of a magazine that sells to impressionable teenagers.
I know that most teens won't go "wow I can't wait to hit that size" but they will start thinking that the public are condoning and even accepting morbidly obese women as models and even roll models. We already live in a McDonald's world ruled by the salad eaters of fashion but we don't need the obese chic to be the next craze.
Learn to ba happy with your body but healthily there is a line and I think that a size 32 roll model is very much so crossing it.
