... the other Black experience

I was watching the TYRA show and she was saying that Plus Size the term is outdated and she wants to call the full woman 'Fiercely Real'

 

Sounds a bit flamby to me.

 

what are your thoughts? care? dont care?

Fiercely real is a description of a transvestite or drag queen. I think Tyra sometimes tries to be like a big gurl spokesperson..."I'm for the big girls." Ummm no...we are not topics of your talk shows or charity case. That is what it seems to me that she does.
I kind of felt that way too. It came off as draggy to me. The interesting part was that all the people on her pannel other than the plus size girl that won top model 2 seasons ago were comedians. They had snarky shit to say when people would ask real questions, which made it seem like it was a big joke.
She's been hanging around Ms. Jay to long.
hmmmm, I like Women. When I had to start getting my clothes in the Women's department versus Juniors I felt like I had grown up physically. It really just means that I have a pooch but I still see the glass overflowing.
I think that she sides with plus-size women because in the modeling industry she is or was considered plus-size. The last time I saw her she was beyond lingerie weight.

FERTILITY GODDESS is the correct description.

At your leisure, research the topic, and if one is THICK, one will agree. And please share with me your opinions. And Ms. Banks does appear to be a mouthpiece for certain segments of the gay community (my former roomate, a guy Afro-Costa Rican, sweared by Tyra (and Oprah)).

Da rurl durl is fertility goddess is the correct description for what has been denoted as plus size. I'm not an expert on the languaging for said venus, yet my research confirms that for most cultures what has been called plus size in contemporary consumer capitalist culture is a fertility goddess in, say, sub-sahraran West african culture (the hottentot venus), and the list goes on and on for say several other ancient civilizations or more recent cultures. Peter Paul Reubens painted often a full-figured model, prompting the description reubenesque for a woman that may as well had been a nude Mae West.
