And acceptance, as to who and what we are, is as important, if not more, IMHO, than what we look like, and into what ideal mould we fit. I always smile at your comments, but by the same token, you make me think about things more seriously too.

My account often doesn't update very well and I don't see all the new posts for a while.<br /><br />Anyway, yes, these models are beautiful, but are they really what you are talking about for plus size? These women are still not the norm. <br /><br />I get annoyed with this thing that we have to BE a certain way. For instance, I don't consider it comfortable or healthy to wear a push up bra. Why can young women get away with no bra, but older women cannot? What is truly intrinsically wrong with swinging free? (Hope I'm not too graphic here.) Our standards for what is attractive are off kilter, IMHO.<br /><br />We seem to be slaves to certain standards of beauty. WHY? It seems to me that the most uncomfortable a man will be is to wear a suit and tie. A woman, to be "sexy" has to cinch in her waist and push up her breasts and wear high heels. This isn't good for health, well being, or comfort. It is unnatural, a falsification of what we are.<br /><br />Mostly fashion blogs bore me. You hit on some interesting things though. I'm an old rebel, not beautiful, not even trying to fit in the fashion industries definition of beautiful, or society's either. I wear dresses to church, with sports shoes because that is how I'm comfortable. I very often don't wear a bra at all. When I do, it's one of those stretchy things that doesn't push me into something I'm not.<br /><br />Okay, I will stop my rant before it turns into a real rant. LOL thanks for posting some interesting things on this topic. I may not always agree, but this one sparked some thoughts.Janet C.
