American women are fat. The
numbers are in and the fashion industry is finally caving to put more fabric on
their designs. And I will not cave in by using politically correct words like
portly or well rounded or full figured.
The women are fat and they know it. The difference is now that they are not
ashamed to be eating what they want and are willing to carry the poundage with
them wherever they go. All they want is a way to be
fashionable too. Gay guys must feel stifled when it comes to fashion. Men are
stuck into the shirt, pants and suit but women can look like anything and wear
anything now.
When it comes to fashion there
seems to be two Americas. One that is the one per centers that are a size zero
and get to wear the best designed clothing and then you have everyone else that
are all different sizes. Finally the fat ok full figured woman is fighting back
and is working to have more clothes made specifically for them. Skinny girls,
step aside we don’t have your size. Wow!
Even on the dating show The
Bachelor this season had a fat chick, I mean a plus size model as a contestant
for the guy’s love. Yes, she is a beautiful girl but all those other skinny
bitches, I mean slimmer women were in shock to see her. Contestants on that
show are always thin and Bo Stanley didn’t make it to the second round but the
fact that she was there at all is a significant change in what is beauty now. The
average American woman wears a size 14.
That is 67% percent of the population. It is a majority that is not
silent anymore. There is a new generation out there of curvy outspoken curvy
women that want to wear cut off jeans just like the skinny girls do.
The singer of that popular song
All About That Bass, Meghan Trainor is fat , ok chubby not ok? Full figured but she
don’t care. She can shake it up like all the skinny girls do. Amber Riley
shakes it all up on Glee. Fat ok, obese actress Melissa McCarthy covered it
all up under a big coat on the cover of Elle Magazine and she remembered when
she said to her blonde and skinny cousin actress Jennifer McCarthy that she
wanted to be an actress too, Jenny just
laughed at her. Now Melissa makes more money than Jenny. Lena Dunham OF THE
SHOW Girls fame was on the cover of Vogue Magazine but they only put her face
and shoulders on the cover. The fact that these women made it to the cover of
any fashion magazine is remarkable.
A plus sized model even created
#plussizsplease which took hold across social media. Eloquii is a plus sized fashion
line company that recently partnered with Nordstrom. The problem for designers
is that fat, ok plus size comes in different shape of curves that a zero sized skeleton
person doesn’t have to worry about. Manufacturing well -tailored clothes in
larger sizes adds on production costs. Courtney Smith the founder of Rum &
Coke a plus sized clothes company on
line, says shopping for clothes is a crushing experience for women because
their size just is not in the stores.
Pulling in $17billion dollars
annually already is new plus size only stores like Fashion to Figure specializing
in size 12 to 24 with new stores in every mall. The dresses are typically
priced under $30 dollars and compete with the styles found in H&M and
Forever 21. The founder is the grandson of
the woman who founded Lane Bryant also a pioneer in fashion for larger women. So,
embrace the junk in the trunk of your favorite woman because she is here to
stay and looking better everyday.
