I didn't see many of those women with double-chins. Are there big women out there who manage not to have double-chins, damn-their-genes?
A lot of those women are probably 5' 10" or taller, and maybe a US size 14 (or even 12). For the most part, that's not double-chin size; that's just larger-than-the-Hollywood-ideal size.
When I was a 14 (and even 16, IIRC), at 5' 6", I didn't have a double chin.
Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of plus-size models who are size 18 or above and get regular work. Or, I should say, work that's widespread.
When I was a 14 (and even 16, IIRC), at 5' 6", I didn't have a double chin.
I'm 5'3", but at a 14 and 16 I do have more than one chin. Damn genetics.
Teppy, I'm glad you got some satisfaction from that conversation.
DJ, your friend is lovely, and it is great that she is getting work that suits her and builds her up rather than marginalizes her. I think the commentary was right that in the past full-figured women such as Marilyn Monroe were included in the public view of womanly beauty, so that once upon a time a person with a nice figure such as that of your friend would be considered normal, healthy and attractive rather than "plus-sized". I hope you don't feel it is a reflection against your friend that there is more discussion here about the rest of the BS in the article.
I'm about a 12/14 (only 5 5"ish) and have a double chin! But angles can make all the difference.
Very chinny (also funny face making):

Not so chinny:

I'm 5'2" and a double-digit size that begins with 2 (Look! Pyramids!), and I've got the plethora of chins. I've also got some nice cheekbones, which helps.
lisah, you make a great covergirl!
ok I brought out a large dog crate that I had as a possible shelter for the cat. He scrambled up on the fence and gave me an offended mew. So h was just comfortable - not sick.
I'm leaving the shelter out just in case, but it looks good for now
Can I just say, you know you are really sick when the don't-hold-me cat snuggles up to you for a whole hour. Thank you, Sammie, I like snuggling you when you let me.
and I got an email -- about a possible owner
My computer wigged out all day...got the blue screen and all, but it booted fine.
I think I may have to devote my life to Jesus now or something, though, so I might not be around much.
