Lane Bryant Nails It With Their #ImNoAngel Campaign

I am not a thin woman. There, I said it. It’s the thing no one wants to admit, but I believe in owning my body so I have to admit it. I’ve been surrounded by thin people my entire life: I grew up figure skating and in ballet classes. I went to undergrad in NYC. Even back in those days, when I was extremely fit, I was never thin. It’s just not in my DNA.

Curvy. Voluptuous. Fluffy. Thick. These are all the words that have been used to describe my body. I don’t really care which one you use, as long as it’s respectful. I’m not here to be anyone’s fetish.

I may love my body, but lemme tell you – the fashion industry doesn’t. Rarely am I able to purchase items in my size in stores; it’s online for me. Once you get out of the straight sizes, the fashion options are drastically reduced. It’s as if designers think people over a size 14 don’t have style. Sure, there are options other than mumus, but that’s not saying much.
