Me and Marilyn
That would bug me too.. But I honestly haven't come across that. I always hear people use her in defense of plus sized.. The logic goes: She was plus sized and hot.. So size women are hot. While I agree women can be sexy anf beautiful at all sizes, using someone who was so obviously not plus sized as a posters child for big and beautiful seems like a disservice to all women..
I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!
"People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within." - Ramona L. Anderson
Sorry I'm a little sleepy and meant it more of....if a woman is HOT then she's HOT and her size has nothing to do with it. While she isn't today's plus sized she was THAT days plus sized. I believe she had a MORE curvaceous body for the time. But to me it's often like "oh wow look what we found a SEXY plus sized girl." Almost like they found someone with a 3rd eye or something.

I was reading a post somewhere about Marilyn Monroe.. It irks me that people called her plus sized when she was tiny.. People fail to recognize the size difference in clothes back then.. Any who.. It got me thinking and I did a little looking. I discovered that she and I am very, very similar measurements!Marylin: 5'5.5", 35-23-35
Me: 5'5, 37-25-37
I am slightly bigger all around than her (again, she was itty bitty). Since I think she epitomizes sexy, I think I will take that!
Other gorgeous, sexy women.. Close to my size in measurements..
Salma Hayek, Measurements: 36-25-37
Angelina Jolie, Measurements: 36-26-36
Catherine Zeta-Jones: 36-25-36
Bettie Page: 36-24-35
Obviously I do not think I am as beautiful or sexy as these starlets.. But.. It is good to have perspective.. When you get to goal, years pass, and you still feel huge sometimes..
