The folks across the pond have come out with a new magazine specifically targeting women sizes 14 and higher.
Just As Beautiful promise they won’t airbrush their models and will only use ladies that are larger than a size 14.
Editor Sue Thomason says of her magazine:
“We want our readers to know that they don’t need to change their appearance to ‘fit in’ or be truly happy. Most people only think they need to change because they’re constantly exposed to the message that they do – and shown images of impossibly skinny models that they’re told they “should” look like. Appearance needs to be rethought and placed firmly back where it belongs – in the entertainment section of your life, along with fashion and make-up. If you feel anxious about your looks instead of being relaxed, it’s a sure sign that you need to change your mind and not your body.”
Well said!
Maybe someone in the US will start one too!
