Hit it Mika- “BIG GIRLS YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!”

Will this be the Anthem for the coming year? Ever since V Magazine showcased their Size issue, the plus size model industry or “real women” have been shoved into the spotlight.

After seeing people like Beth Ditto of The Gossip sporting skin tight bandage dresses with full on confidence, it allows for others to want to do the same.Even her collection designed for Evans was a massive sold out success!

To me- yes, some of these women look stunning! But this is after a lot of lighting, make-up, touch-ups, and computer magic. In reality- these girls look far too large to be wearing bodysuits and cut-out mini dresses.

Don’t misunderstand me- I adore the bodies of Jayne Mansfield and Kim Kardashian far more than those stick figure types. However I must say, high fashion looks simply remarkable on skinny tall models.

Would you love to see fashion shoots with the thin usual bodies we are all used to or incorporating plus size models?
