i believe clothes just look better on thinner people.....its sometimes more of an art rather than a reality in the fashion world..

I believe that mr K is right, but he expressed himself in a very rude way.
Even though we would all die to see the so-called "real" women in a runway or fashion ads, i don't think sth like that would ever happen.
We are so used in seeing the thin, tall 90-60-90 models, that anything that's different is going to be considered "strange".

Being skinny or fat is not the important thing here... as has been stated women (and men) come in all shapes and sizes... often with women the truth is some are naturally skinny and some are naturally not... what the issue should be here is whether we're healthy... You can be skinny (and I'm not talking about anorexic skinny, I'm talking your average slim person) and be very unhealthy, you can be skinny and get diabetes, but being unhealthy often leads to weight gain therefore, obesity is linked with causes of diabetes and heart issues... it's not to do with weight, it's to do with health! All women are beautiful, men you may not find all attractive but that's okay because there's more fish in the see and everyone sees things differently and not all women want the same looking guy either! it all comes down to the fact that we are all unique - inside and OUT! We don't need to conform to some pattern the world tells us is success and beauty because honestly, I'd rather chose my friends by their standards in character, their values, their integrity... forget size or shape.. that can all be flattered with the right hair cut, clothes, shoes, accessories and jewelery... no what's more important is that we're healthy and if that means that I am a size 14/16 and healthy then I am happy to be that, because then I am being me... unique!! Beautiful!!
Girls please think about this hard and long... there is no point in killing yourself over weight! because trust me, there is someone in your life or who you will meet who will love you no matter what shape or size you are... there is already someone who does love you just as you are!! But remember this not an excuse to gain weight and do whatever you want... no,this is a call to be healthy.. no matter what that looks like for you because you are beautiful... I don't normally listen to rap but eminem puts it perfectly (embellishing a little more than I would) but he says stuff em if they say you ain't beautiful, just be true to you, be who you are meant to be, who it makes you happy to be, you are already beautiful..let it shine! Smile! You are loved!
PS you who quoted a size 12 as someone who is overweight and the rest of it.. you are totally wrong! a size 12 is less than average weight! It's very healthy as is a 14, and even a 16 and guess what some of the healthiest people I know are over a size 20! Get educated! a size 12 is not fat!!!

Put a plus size woman in the right clothes and she will look just as "beautiful" as a skinny one! It's not about size but about how you dress it... and more importantly as I have already mentioned... it's not about size but about your health!
