Jezebel Magazine reposted an article originally by blogger red, vinyl shoes about how the plus size model industry (including the new vogue italia curvy) lacks color. She focuses on the assumed acceptance of plus size women in the black community and how in reality big black women are taunted and devalued.
She makes some great points on how the primary markets for fatshionistas are colored women; looking at the fatshionista blogsphere-there are a couple of Caucasian bloggers but the rest are all women of some color.
Here's the article
