Plus what now?
Poking around the internets today I hit news.com.au which is tabloid as hell but not bad for when you don’t want to read anything that makes you think. Seeing a link saying “Plus sized models at Sydney Fashion Week!” I, of course, clicked it. Being a plus sized gal I was interested to see what was going on on the catwalks of Sydney. This, apparently:
Uh oh! Hope someone reinforced the catwalk before letting THIS heffer plod down it. Shitfire, that’s an OHS issue right there.
Sure sure, the gal there is not all bones and skin, but she’s not exactly PLUS sized is she? Seriously? Because if this is classed as plus sized then … wow.
To be fair, some of the girls were maybe size 14. MAYBE. Even that’s not plus sized really. In my opinion, if you don’t have to go to special section in Kmart to find something that fits, you’re not plus sized. Also don’t shop at Kmart, their clothes for curvy goddesses are horrible. I digress.
I’m not sure if it was staged (probably) but the front row of the audience had some actual plus sized ladies in it, two of whom could barely contain their mirth. I like to think they were laughing at the idea that the lady before them was plus sized:
The captions for this gallery runs “Plus-size stunners at Rosemount Fashion Week in Sydney prove that the latest fashions are not just for beanpole models”. Which is quite true. However all of the plus sized stunners were actually in the front row, not on the catwalk.
You can see the gallery here on the news.com.au site.
I’m glad I’m not the only one to notice this. I noticed the ladies in the front row giggling and smirking in most of the photos. It seems to me they’re either chuckling at the fact that this normal lady is considered plus-sized, or they’re smirking at the outfits, which no regular lady would wear in some cases. The lady in the above photo touching her giggly friend’s arm looks like she’s saying “Can you imagine walking down the street in that getup?”
The two girls on the left look like they’re feeling sad – which I can understand – if this model is considered “plus-sized” – WTF sized are we really big girls?
Yeah, I especially noticed the girl in black beside the girl in the awesome purple. She’s got that “Please let this be over soon” look on her face.
The girl in purple? TOTALLY should be on the catwalk.
[...] the same name as me, but in my research, I made some good discoveries. She has an awesome blog with an article I wish I would have posted, and perhaps best of all, BBW Deluxe is listed in her blogroll! Thanks, [...]
