Dear Us Weekly, I Love ‘Forever 21′, But…

April 16, 2009 / 536 Comments

I feel that this clipping from Us Magazine is a bit misleading, so I wanted to comment on it.

I am a huge fan of Forever 21 and I’m very happy they have expanded their line to include a plus-size range, but I
am not in that size category and this article makes it sound like I am! I am a curvy girl and I love my curves, but curvy and plus-sized are two very different things. I work really hard to maintain my curves while staying slim and healthy, so to be classed as a “fuller-figured woman” of extra large proportions is a little offensive.

For the record, I am a size 2, not 2XL.

    I understand what you r saying but u don’t want to offend those fans of yours that do wear a 2xl. U are basically saying that people who wear the plus size line at forever21 r of “extra large proportions.” Not nice. You have to watch how you phrase things.

    Don’t let it offend you hun, every1 knows you’re no where near plus size…but be aware that your comment on this issue could potentially be hurtful to women who are, as you said, “of large proportions” …Anyway, u r beautiful and I LOVE LOVE the DVD’s!:)

    What is the point of this blog? No one thinks you are plus sie but I feel like you are taking shots at plus size women. And FYI, plenty of women are naturally built larger and can be considered plus size and work out everyday.
