Fat Activism Gone Right… or Wrong?
Okay, so there’s something going on with the media machine and the fabulousness of fat girls, who are apparently the next big thing. (Why do bad puns come so easily?)
Last week Times Online’s Lisa Armstrong gave props to Beth Ditto (The Gossip) for being an up-and-coming fashion icon who is turning the industry “upside down”, “smashing taboo”, and being lauded as a role model for women who have a more plentiful physique. This week two more stories broke about fat acceptance in our size-obsessed society.
