Big girls,you are beautiful!

I am such a fashion junkie! I love anything from jeans to jerseys,pearls to peeptoe. Gimme any amount of money and I'll buy clothes with it.
I am a 'plus size' girl in the fashion world. I am a size 12-14, and I'm happy with it! I know I am actually smaller than the average dress size in the UK,which is a 16, I understand it is only a couple of dress sizes but every little helps.
Me and probably every 'plus size' girl out there feels pressured by the media,shop models and catwalk couture to look a certain way;straight up and down size 2-8. This is not right! To me,I look at the catwalk models and I think they look ill! I understand that designers want to show off the clothes and not the model,but some of the items look swamping on the models and end up look ridiculous on the runway.
I'm not saying that being a size 2-8 straight up and down isn't right because if your born like that and that's how your body is then that's fine but when it gets to the point of model agency's telling a model,say size 8, that she needs to lose weight. This is not right! The point I want to get across is that;it doesn't matter how big,small,tall or short you are, you are still beautiful and you don't need to change for anyone.
