long gown dress

long gown dress The puns, the insulting, giggly tones, and the over-used euphemisms for fat that were scattered throughout the campaign's solicitation began to crystalize an opinion in my mind. How offensive the campaign was. How it spoke to plus-sized women like they were starry-eyed 16 year olds from Kansas whose dream, obviously, was to hop a bus to L.A. to make it big in fashion. How apparently there were no words in existence to accurately describe the way American Apparel felt about a sexy, large woman, and so phrases like "booty-ful" and "XLent" would need to be invented for us—not only to fill this void in American vocabulary, but also make the company seem like a relatable, sassy friend to fat chicks.


American Apparels The swimwear manufacturer Next Big Thing competition has garnered a lot of press attention but perhaps not as the company originally intended.In response to the competition, she uploaded professional looking photos of herself scantily-clad in humorous poses all of them involving her eating excessively.


Nancy Upton who costume manufacturer appears lightyears ahead of her fellow contestants and looks to be a sure-fire win of the (now closed) competition never intended to go this far and never intends to model for the brand, declaring in an article for The Daily Beast today: I want nothing to do with a company that's wanted nothing to do with large women until now.

Nancy, who reminds us on her blog.American Apparel attracted entries from just under a thousand plus-sized wannabe models, declaring:

Were looking for fresh faces (and curvaceous bods) to fill these babies out. If you think youve got what it takes to be the next XLent model, send us photos of you and your junk to back it up.

Nancy, however, found this approach insulting, kicking back in an interview with The Daily Beast today:

Proving a point?

Nancy seems to be pointing out one obvious flaw in American Apparels competition the exclusion of one body type the satyrising of the larger girl and the connotations that come along with that. Nancy shows that a picture says a thousand words and her statement has been heard on a viral scale.

Upton stated in her blog:

"I don't just consider them to be beautiful, talented and professional for, you know, plus-sized women. I consider them to be beautiful, talented and professional PEOPLE. Size and beauty are not mutually exclusive."
