Skinny VS Curvy

Tweet

A few days ago, US Magazine published an article about Forever 21′s upcomming plus-size line and the same article mentioned Kim Kardashian’s name:

“Here’s a little faith for fuller-figured fashionistas: On May 1, they can try on a new Plus-Size line, Faith 21, from hip bargain chain Forever 21. (Kim Kardashian is a fan).”

Kim’s response?

Here’s what she wrote on her blog:

I feel that this clipping from Us Magazine is a bit misleading, so I wanted to comment on it.

I am a huge fan of Forever 21 and I’m very happy they have expanded their line to include a plus-size range, but I am not in that size category and this article makes it sound like I am! I am a curvy girl and I love my curves, but curvy and plus-sized are two very different things. I work really hard to maintain my curves while staying slim and healthy, so to be classed as a “fuller-figured woman” of extra large proportions is a little offensive.

For the record, I am a size 2, not 2XL.

Hmm… I don’t think that this response was necessary, really (and many visitors on her blog agree).  Firstly, because they aren’t really calling Kim “full-figured” and secondly, because she shouldn’t get so offended even if they did. What do YOU all think?

Oh, and thirdly, Kim looks AMAZING, but why oh why does she have to defend her size all the time? One minute she’s the proud curvy girl (which, I think, is the right attitude) and the next minute she is trying to convince us that she’s a size 2 (even though her measurements are 34-26-39, her words). A few months back, Kim was saying “Stylists would bring me a size 6 or 8, and they had to come back with 2’s and 4’s. I am only 117 lbs!”.

What are your thoughts?

Hmm… I’ll let you all comment on the rest of the outfit (body type-wise, style-wise, as you please), but I’ll just say that I don’t think that this type of skirt is what Raven’s fuller figure needs.

Well, on a second thought, she’s confident and that’s always applaudable!

Raven-Symone’s Look – Wow or Eww?

The BET Honors Second Annual Black Entertainment Awardstook place a few days ago and Queen Latifah made an appearance, looking really good in a black lace dress.

Definitely flattering, definitely right for her curvy full figure! Even though the purple empire waist gown that she wore at People’s Choice Awardswas a beautiful one, this black dress hugs Queen Latifah’s curves just perfectly… and it actually looks like she’s lost pounds in between the events (there was only a 1 week gap).

Check again the purple dress after the jump and compare!

I just realised that we haven’t talked about Queen Latifah on our little site yet – and since she’s a little more than curvy (she’s reportedly a little over 200 lbs. at 5’10”), I think she deserves a post!

So, here she is looking very purple on the red carpet last night in an empire waist dress.

How do you like the gown on Queen Latifah’s full figure?
