Victoria's Secret Can Kiss My "Fat" and "Short" Ass :)

Oh GOD, there could not have been a better post to blog about today.. Just when Glamour takes one step forward creating a revolutionary twist on their magazine by adding "plus size" models in the mix, I see one magazine take a step back... Victoria's Secret posted on their Facebook today:

"To enter the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Model Search, you must be a female U.S. resident, 18-30 years of age, 5’8” or taller in bare feet"

Really? I'm surprised they didn't add "and must be 110 at most with clothes on" to the requirements too! Are you kidding me? When making these public posts calling beautiful women to audition for their runway, they make shorter, curvier women feel like total SHIT. Just when I finally start to embrace my body the way it is, and accept me for who I am, I see something like this and I am back to square one..

I bought Glamour magazine today to see what all the hype was about there being plus size models, and I was shocked that these women were even considered PLUS size. How about removing that label and calling them beautiful, curvy, natural, glowing, healthy women? They look ten times better to me than that bony girl who doesn't have boobs anymore because she's so starved and that "I want food so bad" look in every expression she has.

You know - I bet if I wore a bra and panties from Victoria's Secret and got my makeup and hair all done for the show and walked the runway next to a 5'8" deprived woman who actually looks like a little girl, I would look 100x better. We need healthy women representing their clothes! Not rail thin women who intimidate the regular consumer and depress them into thinking they won't look nearly as good as the model wearing them!! Where the hell is their common sense. 5'8" my ass, Victoria's Secret.

In fact, I am so appalled by the requirements this magazine has held for their models in the public eye, that I have chosen to boycott them. Actually, I want to wear one last piece of their lingerie, take a picture of myself posing the way their little models pose and post it for all to see. Healthy women - no matter if they're short, plus size, blonde, brunette, redhead - are going to be the better choice.


I'll give you all an update soon,

  1. I couldn't agree more! I'm sick of this wide-eyed emaciated look. Anyway, I saw on your profile that you like President Obama. Me, too. He's got a lot on his plate and I'm wishing him well.
