You have covered so much in this post -- and I know this subject can be come so heated, and people can get so nasty. The only thing that every woman wants, no matter what her size, is to feel beautiful, and be able to shop and buy clothes that fit. I don't care about the politics, or how unhealthy you are, at either end of the scale, no one has the right to deny this.

and curvy fashionista, yeah, that's awful.

I think this post is brilliant, a really enjoyable and informative read.

Fashion Butter your comments are so true I studied journalism and have always loved fashion yet when I told a close friend that I wanted to be a fashion writer her response was "don't you have to be slim to work in fashion"

Wow, you hit this one out of the park. Great in depth answers to some pretty controversial questions. I totally agree with you on EVERYTHING! I love when that happens because now I don't have to repost lol

This post is positively gorgeous, as your posts always are. I was so inspired by this theme – and we had some very similar answers! That makes me rather proud, because I really admire your viewpoints and your confidence. Thank you so much for all the information in here, as well. The links were great – especially the V Magazine shoot. It inspired me beyond words. I also appreciate your mentioning Karl Lagerfeld's comments. I promptly went over to Twitter and "unfollowed" him (yes, I'm silly like that) because those comments served as a reminder that I do not like, appreciate or support his viewpoints. I also had no idea that Liv Tyler is a size 14! I'm lost somewhere between a 12 and 14 but I certainly don't have her legs. Inspiring nontheless. 🙂

Many many thanks for this post! I'm sure I'll be bookmarking it and coming back to experience it over and over again.

I can't believe it's even a question. LOL I guess that is the type of society we live in.

Thanks T 🙂 The comment that you made on that last post really got to me. The negativity. The labels. The cattiness. It's true that instead of supporting one another like we should, we (women) seem to live to knock each other down. We are our own worst enemies.

Thanks V - and I second all of the points you made on your VLOG! There is no doubt that the two of us are really passionate about this subject, and as usual, we are right on the same page.

There are so many different layers to this debate, but it always seems to come back to a lack of understanding and ignorance on the part of the naysayers (like Lagerfield). I was surprised when he started to use Crystal Renn for Chanel shows and I don't really buy that it's in good will. It reeks of a publicity stunt.
