I love it, especially the leggings worn as a shrug! Did it not look funny in the back (the seam, crotch area)? Love that magenta colour too...

I bet the leggings would have looked much stranger worn as leggings...!
I wanted to ssay well done last time for using a model a bit more representative of the average woman rather than a stick thin one.

Hi Jessie,
The leggings that she wore were actually an extra small so they were a little uncomfortable! However, if she had them in a slightly bigger size they would have looked fine. The crotch bit didn't look weird at all, it just limited her shoulder movements!

I am sick and tired of slim or thin women being called skinny (in an unflattering way) or beanpole or stick thin (as you said your entry, Laura). If you want to tell women that they are beautiful no matter their size then do so instead of insulting and antagonising a particular demographic. Some women are naturally slim. It is not anyone's fault and it is NOT a bad thing. Let everyone get that into their heads! Also, I notice that in this furore over thin women, nobody talks about the fact that a few centuries ago, fat or even obese women were fashionable. Fat women have had their time. Let others have theirs. And if we know fashion (and life) well, everything comes round so you can be sure that fat will be in again soon. One last thing, ask any doctor and they'll tell you that being overweight is unhealthy. I don't remember the statistics but I know that in the UK and US, almost half the female population are overweight. Does the fact that a large population of women are overweight mean it is a good thing? Fashion writers, journalists and critics should at least try to be more objective - especially you, Catwalk Queen.

Lape, although I agree with your comments that no one should be discriminated against, including those who are natually slim, I do NOT agree with the notion that "fat people have had their time". If anything, we as a society should have grown past "times" and should be moving into a mindset that embraces all sizes. The forward way of thinking is to not group people into camps of slim and not slim, but to accept all body types and sizes.
