Quote of the Day from "Fat-shionistas Unite!"

Thursday June 25, 2009
I could complain about the whole "Fat-shionistas" thing (can't we be regular fashionistas?!), but this article at The Daily Beast is far more positive than anything I've seen in a while, so I'm going to give it a pass. In it, Rhiannon Gammill from Manolo for the Big Girl provided the best quotes of the day, including this one which deserves to be embroidered on a pillow:
“I want the woman who can say ‘This is who I am, you don't have to like me and you don't have approve of me, but I've been to this pony show before and this time I'm getting what I want. I've got one voice, two chins, and more style than should be allowed by law and I'm not apologizing for any of it’ and then, I don't know, puts her cigarette out on her arm.”
Hear, hear!

Absolutely , I dont know about putting the cigarette out on the arm .. LOL .. but I beleive that the media has made us all beleive that there is one standard for beauty and it simply isnt true. Plus size is beautiful as well as so are many other sizes or shapes. You have to have confidence in yourself and Let your True colors shine through ( a little style doesnt hurt either)
