It is a refreshing change. Over the last couple of decades our view in the media of women has gone from good to bad. Not to long ago everyone thought people like Marilyn Monroe were who we needed to be and she struggled with her weight like the rest of us (rumors vary for her size between a size 10 to size 16 but thats still not the 0 we seem to expect today). This isn’t a huge step forward but it is a necessary step towards a healthy body image for more women.

I am so thankful that women of all shapes and sizes actually accept themselves and embrace their uniqueness. I think that perhaps the companies need a fresh outlook on reality and need to start recognizing the beauty in TRUE women. Maybe our generation will get it through our thick skulls and make a change for the future! If I had a model /talent agency i would certainly embrace the full figured women and make a change!

This is an interesting take on Vogue Curvy. I like reading a fair assessment of their site, and seeing things from this angle is cool… usually it’s just curves + Vogue = yay!

Did you know that even the super-fashionable bomber jacket is available in Plus Size. Curvy is going mainstream.

I like the way you offer 2 sides to looking at the emergence of Vogue Curvy. It is great to see more online presence for women with curves. No one site or source can offer the true voice of plus size women or fashion. You have done a great job creating this blog post and offering an alternative, sites with a DIY aesthetic. The reading list of links of plus and real size fashion blogs are awesome places to start for a more genuine and more authentic view.
