I was reading Plus Model Magazine online at plus-model-mag.com and clicked on a link to one of their articles entitled: "Plus size model Robyn Lawley is hot! hot! hot! in Australian Cosmopolitan Magazine" I was excited to see this plus-sized maven who was wowing the Australian market! I clicked and saw a very pretty beautiful woman featured in the article! She's a very striking woman, and I can see the attraction! But her size left me non-plussed! I expected to see a larger sized woman staring back at me, but nope, this was one of the photographs of her!
I'm not sure what to think?! I'm happy for her, she's doing well in her field, she is as I said very attractive, but plus sized? What?!!! Once again, not only are we getting bad names from stores who think our sizes are not worth the bother in carrying, but we're also getting gypped by the size of the women who are supposed to be larger than the regular sized model to be called plus size. No wonder a true-size individual who would be considered plus sized, can't get representation as a model, because there is the societal ideal as to what plus size is!
Their* (Society = Designers, Model Agencies, Magazines*) ideal is a size 12 or 14, barely there belly fat, not even a dimple on the thighs! I don't know curvy divas, this is a sad day in Plus-size-land!
