Curvy Girls



In hollywood it always seems like everyone is a size zero. There is an enormous amount of pressure to be thin in the industry and most celebrities are told they need to lose weight, they are subjected to tons of judgements and articls in the tabloids for their appearance. But there are some women who stand up for their natural body shape and embrace their curves. Celebrities like Christina Hendriks, Beyonce, Amber Riley, Marylin Monroe, Scarlett Johanson, Kate Winslet, America Fererra, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian and The Rodarte Sisters. It is especially interesting to me that one of the most powerful fashion duo's in the industry, the sisters who design for Rodarte, one sister is in fact plus size! These are beautiful women. These women are role models, they are people who stood up for themselves in a world of 00's. Instead of telling women everywhere they are "chunky, thick, chubby" maybe we should tell them they are "curvy, voluptuous, and beautiful".
