You should give the girl that won the prize the modeling contract. She is the one the public voted as the winner as the contest stated. She is obviously smart and witty. The way your contest was described invoked the images that she portrayed. A size 12 being fat? If Marilyn Monroe came into model for you, by today’s standards, you would’ve found her obese. So would Serena Williams and she is the epitome of being physically fit. I personally find your contest a slap in the face of anyone of someone over a size 8. I personally am a size 14 to 18 depending on the clothing. I am also type 2 diabetic which makes it extremely difficult to lose weight. It is very hard on my body and organs to yo-yo when dieting so I just maintain according to my doctor’s advice. I eat healthy and I also go through a minimum of 8 hours of roller derby practice a week. I burn 600 to 900 calories during each one of those practices, so it is not like I don’t exercise and am lazy but your campaign to find plus size models made it sound like that. I am personally going to get everyone I know to boycott your clothing line for us “fatties”. Besides, most of it is hideous and made out of unforgiving fabrics for anyone over a size 2. I personally hope your company is sued by Nancy Upton for not following through with your contest and denying her the prize when she is the clear winner and I hope you lose.
Sincerely,
Nikki Lee
John Bender “The Breakfast Club”: Well not at present, but I can see you really pushing maximum density. See I'm not sure if you know this, but there are two kinds of fat people: there's fat people that were born to be fat, and there's fat people that were once thin but became fat... so when you look at 'em you can sorta see that thin person inside. You see, you're gonna get married, you're gonna squeeze out a few puppies and then, uh...
Yes, we will see you very soon in our club Ms. Alonzo
