Just found this in the Daily Mail about a new lifestyle magazine, Just As Beautiful, marketed exclusively for plus size women. It says it's the first publication of its kind in the UK. Is that true?
So what do people think about this?
I can understand their angle on the title of the magazine, but it personally irks me a bit. They say there will be no models below a size 14, no diet tips, completely about plus size women etc, yet the title makes a comparison with 'other' kinds of women straight off, saying we're 'just as beautiful' as them. I think they could have done without making that 'point' - it just makes them look too aware of what plus sized women are considered to compete with: typically thin, beautiful women.
My initial impression, of course. Thoughts?
