Hello all, I want to apologize for the sporadic and blatantly promotional blog posts as of late. This chica has been running ragged! Between site improvements, holidays, traveling and HUGE shopping days, I have just not held up my end of the blogging deal. Well, that changes now. La Grande Dame’s opinionated, fashion loving, plus size obsessed blogger is back in action!
So, as a quick back in action post – my favorite topic, the exploitation and fetishization of plus sized women – Glamour’s Back!
Now, when this photo first came out I was hopeful. I thought it could really be a sign of changes at the fashion mags. Maybe Glamour was ready to accept curvier bodies as worthy of their pages. Unfortunately, I was wrong. They are just riding on the coat tails of one picture and milking it for all it is worth, rather than integrating “plus” (if these women are plus sized, ha) women into their monthly pages.
Check out this post from MediaFreak, Glamour is working this picture into a calendar!

Do you think I am too pessimistic? Am I over reacting? What do you think? Let’s start a discussion in the comments.
