Fatties Aren't "Curvy", They're Convex

I came across this article on Yahoo News yesterday and it made me mad.

What Plus-Size Women Really Want to Be Called By Beth Greenfield, Shine Staff

It's all about how plus-sized women are now wanting to be termed "curvy". I think this is absurd. The term "curvy" is for women with the hourglass figure. Women with this figure can range from skinny to plus-size, but to call fat women curvy is an inappropriate use of the word. I propose using the term "convex" simply because fat women have a more convex shape.

People are going to hate this blog post, I know it. It probably won't matter if I tell you that I was, at one point, very plus-size - mainly convex in the butt/thigh region.

Pick up a piece from the Alaska line and you will find that it is either signed by “Sascha B/ Brastoff” or “Matthew Adams”. You might also notice, if you are familiar with Brastoff’s other ceramics, that there is no rooster backstamp. That’s just how they were produced. The biggest differences between a Matthew Adams and a …
