If you watched the last cycle of "America's Next Top Model", you're familiar with plus-sized contestant and boo-boo Diane. Sure, she's a beautiful woman with a lovely curvy body. But honestly I was annoyed as all get-out that yet another bland flat-ironed head was possibly going to enter the plus-sized model workforce.
I'm just plain bored of the whole plus-sized model "look" in general. This is largely due to the fact that the only access to plus-size models is via fat girl clothing catalogs. There is no fat girl Vogue, in which Gille St. Bensimon takes stark black and white photos with plus-size models in haute couture and extreme makeup and hair. All we get to see is Kate Dillon doing her best demure smile in a pose meant to sell as many $39.99 sweaters as possible.
It sucks, because in a good photo shoot models can wear art and they can be art themselves and it can be really beautiful and effective. Both the photographer and fashion afficianado in me is dying to see this applied to the plus-sized world.
Lastly, I found this site via Yahoo Search which is kinda sweet. What can I say? I'm a sucker for guys who dig fat chicks.
