I don't mind that designers use thin, skinny, emaciated, gaunt or otherwise underweight women. The clothes hang beautifully on them and that's the idea - because they are models. The largest group who does seem to have a problem with skinny models seems to be overweight women who want to see more of their kind modelling. Putting designer clothes on fat women isn't going to do anything for the clothes... although it might make little girls think, Christ, I don't want to look like that.

It was not in the same context at all livia, if you can attempt to understand my reasoning behind my choice of words that would be great.

If thats your view fine, i don't happen to agree that they look better.
No one is suggesting the designers put 'fat' women in the clothes, im not sure where you got that idea from.

You can be such a literalist... but only when it suits you.

If you want to look at plus size models because you think they look better then that's up to you. I don't see what the problem is with designers using tall, thin models that show their clothes off to their best advantage. The better designers don't really make stuff for plus size people anyway.

The thing is Kizzy, I can't be bothered to attempt to comprehend everything you say because you're such hard work. You labour the point to death and if the only way you can come back at someone is to criticise them for using EXACTLY THE SAME WORD that you used, then that's what you do. I don't know if it's an attempt to make yourself look smarter, but seriously... it's not working. It is mildly amusing though, which is why I don't have you on ignore right now.
