                               In the Word of Plus Sizes

          They rock runways, grace the covers of magazines and pose for racy pictorials all while smashing beauty boundaries and setting trends. “Plus models are having a major moment right now in the fashion industry. Fashion influencers like Dita Von Teese  are using them in runway shows, major magazines are using them in multi-page spreads and Ford Modeling just signed former Kardashian sister-in-law Kaela Humphries to its plus-sized division. These women have the world in agreement—big is beautiful.” (e. g. http://101magazine.net/2012/07/big-beauty-inside-the-world-of-plus-sized-modeling/ )


           Many critics of the modeling industry believe that images in the media of scrawny models create body image issues among young women. “Activists have started creating materials with curvier women on them and portraying them as symbols of beauty. Dove’s Real Beauty campaign also aims to combat negative stereotypes of skinny being beautiful; the popular toiletry brand features real women in all their commercials.” (e. g. http://101magazine.net/2012/07/big-beauty-inside-the-world-of-plus-sized-modeling/ )
         “Plus-size” celebrities have also influenced the relieve of some of the stigma of being curvy. “Voluptuous “Mad Men” star Christina Hendricks has become a sex symbol since her bright red mane and size 12 frame first appeared on AMC’s award-winning drama in 2007. Her portrayal of the sensuous Joan Harris (nee Holloway) has left women envious and men wanting more.”

P. S.

Curvy females are in and here to stay, and beautiful.
Check out the love letters this site gets for it's featuring Plus Sizes:

     "I just wanted to write and say thank you. I just received my second order from you in the mail, and I was impressed by how prompt the service was.

        I love the quality of your products, your well-made website, and that you have models who are beautiful and curvy so that your customers can see how they fit on comparable figures. I have never been one for fancy lingerie or undergarments, but that was before I found your site. Thank you so much for existing, and for being classy, reasonably priced, and fun. I will definitely order from you again."...more..
