Plus size ranges, supposedly for the curvier woman, are cropping up across more and more high street stores. Whilst the concept is fair and inclusive, the actual endorsement and enforcement is turning in to a farse.
Clicking on my Facebook app today I was offered the chance to view the latest plus size model. As I clicked on the story, presented with what I would call a perfectly proportioned and averagely sized young woman, I scanned my screen for her plus sized friend. However, to my horror, the story below the images explained the hypocrisy of the 'plus size'. I was amazed to learn that this girl was in fact the plus size model (pictured below). Whilst I knew society had its issues, this demonstrated exactly where the issues lie.
Wow.
As I calmed down from my anger at how society seems to favour the anorexia look, I switched my television on to see Nigella Lawson. She's average, curvaceous and by no means overweight but if were going on anything like the plus size model pictured above, then she's probably best going in to hiding for a while.
I don't know about you but I don't even know what plus size means.
And I sure don't understand who should be what size.
