I love the point about vices she tries to make. The only reason people get on us about being obese and unhealthy is because its seen. they see a skinny model and claim in comparison she is healthy meanwhile she can be doing drugs or smoking cigarettes which is just as unhealthy and in many cases even more unhealthy. Whereas being plys sized doesnt mean being unhealthy in certain instances. There are many vices out there but being an obese person gets you shit on the most and its not fair.
@waterhugbunny No she's not, your missing the point. She's promoting being proud of your body, being proud of who you are, and furthernore, not giving a shit about what society says about beauty
OMG I am so much better looking than her! If you want to chat with an attractive Blonde BBW with huge boobs then hit me up (yahoo im & email: CuteBlondeBBW and for aim: CuteBlondeBBW1 )
you can generally tell if someone's healthy by their fitness, posture, skin tone, mood, general vibrancy and energy levels... weight has nothing to do with it (within reasonable limits... obesity is never a healthy state of being), and naturally larger women at their peak health are haaawwt
How is ignorance bliss when it comes to this? How does one feel better knowing fat people are unhealthy? Fat people generally ARE unhealthy. We are not meant to be that big, that's why fat people are prone to more diseases. That's not to say skinny people are always healthy either, but if you go to either extreme something is usually wrong. Lets be for real.
It's unhealthy to be sedentary, and by consequence, a lot of sedentary people are fat.
A lot of fat people don't realize that, while diets don't work like they say on the box, there really isn't anything wrong with eating a healthy diet and exercising. You can still do these things and maintain a larger frame. I am one of these people: I weigh around 300 pounds, but I'm in the best state of physical well-being I've ever been in because my habits have improved.

Its possible to be a BBW but when you are over-fat (not necessarily over-weight) thats uneahlthy. If she wants to keep her big appearance thats fine because she is beautiful but she does not look healthy..i feel like its the same as critisizing anorexic models, however, she does have a much more positive outlook on herself than say an anorexic model. I think the idea is a good one (love yourself even if you arent tiny) but you should love yourself and be healthy..not obese.
maybe I should model for Gaultier cuz I'm not as skinny as those other models, but everyone says I'm thin-or maybe there just sayin that cuz there not-wow-now I realized I'm probably not that thin-anyway I'll try him
Well honey, my aunt was fat and fit her whole life until her death with 89. My uncle was thin and did sports his whole life, but he smoked a lot for not getting fat. Now he's 50 and suffers from cancer. I know a LOT more thin people, who smoke 'their lungs out of their bodies' to stay skinny, then fat people sitting on the couch doing nothing. You know what I mean?
Being skinny doesn't automatically being healthy. Vice Versa. And so many thin people almost live at McDonalds (and doing excessive sports for not getting fat), taking diverse drugs and pills for not getting fat, drinking alcohol instead of eating for being cool and not getting fat, eat only salad for not getting fat (which has no nutrients at all)....IS THAT HEALTHY???
no, that's not healthy either. there may be the lucky few who can be healthy and fit at any weight, but the rest of people aren't, and they are getting fatter and fatter. the velvet woman would improve her health by losing weight...her career, probably not. another sacrifice for the almighty dollar. or euro, whatever. by the way, romaine lettuce is more nutrient dense than almost any other food.
You don't know this person, so you can't really tell If she's healthy or not. You judge her because of what you see and hear about overweight-not more not less. So many skinny people aren't healthy at all and nobody cares, the reason is easy: It's not in the media and THIS is actually our society's problem.

that overweight can never be healthy. i'm positive...if for nothing else than the stress it puts on joints. it's not muscle she has, it's fat...and that much fat has a lot of risks. much like being underweight. no thanks to either.
And you know what? Now I react like you do: After seeing your faves on youtube I don't think we must discuss any further. That tells me more than 1000 words....
no, really. look up romaine lettuce anywhere. and I put avocados on my salads...high calorie. just look up more information. if you find anything about how romaine is worthless, please send me a PM and let me know. it's iceberg that has nothing. i don't eat it. and don't assume I have an eating disorder because i'm interested in the topic. i'm a writer, i get inside other's heads without having to mimic their damaging behavior.
Portland, you are completely misguided. Velvet is not the first plus sized model that Gaultier has used in his show - he's featured gorgeous women of size in his shows for years and he's gone on record saying that women should celebrate their bodies no matter what the size.
First of all, Portland, anyone qualifying for model height under 110 lbs. requires medical and psychological attention. Second of all, if he was going to make a political statement like that, wouldn't all of the models have been fat?
What people don't get and Velvet doesn't get about her appearance at Gaultier's paris show is that Jean Paul used her to make a statement after the new law forbidding models under 110 lbs from doing runway. that fat people aren't beautiful. like saying "would you rather have people like this [velvet] than thin people.
I love how articulate she is. Go Velvet! :D

Exactly. Not all people that are "fat" are necessarily unhealthy. People act as if everyone is meant to be thin.
