"Have you seen boots latest advert? What are your thoughts on it?... Its giving a positive body image to larger women which is excellent to see a company doing promoting/showing that women shouldn't be afraid or ashamed of their own body. I honestly hope more companies do the same not just for women but men too.

"Where I live, a very short, larger lady walked into a pub with her bf and she said to him 'get me a fucking beer'. He replied 'okay sexy lass'. All the men in the pub were looking at her in admiration. One man even compared her to Linda Evangelista." Linda not Christy? | |||
