Violet, I love your column on this topic. I’ve had my share of emotional stress due to online trolls and the whole appearance issue, so it’s nice to hear someone stand up and shout “Fuck you!” like that. Great writing!

Great post! Its always nice to know that body image is being discussed. Elizabeth’s comment is very interesting. I’ve never considered the historical perspectives on dieting, weight and desire. I have to check out the article.
Thanks for using my picture!! xoxo

Nice post–I’ll have to check out Curvaceous. My wife and I enjoy porn pretty regularly but we both get a little tired of the same ‘ol same ‘ol. Bombshell Betty’s thoughts are good, too, and I like how she didn’t take the easy stance and blast porn.

There is an article in the Daily Mail in the U.K. on historical diets from the Victorian age, Edwardian and the 20′s. It gives a great perspective on dieting being only a recent fashion:

And if you think of it, before the Victorian age, skinny women were a sign on poverty, illness and a constant reminder that famine was but a few failed crops away. Remember, 30,000 years of genetic evolution wants men to mate and reproduce with women who have the ability to feed themselves and have enough fat reserves to nurse the children, thus ensuring the carrying on of the male’s genetic code. Evolution is a very powerful motivator. Perhaps that explains some of the craigslist posts for curvy, thick women and BBW’s.

There have been videos with real curvy girls by lesser known studios for years. But it’s nice to see it coming to the mainstream. This is gonna be hott! However, it is sad that these girls are actually average and considered “curvaceous.” Like the Dove ad, at least it’s a start.

Can’t wait to watch this one with my girlfriend, and I’m gonna get her to read that post on body hate. She’s a beautiful, curvaceous woman who sometimes gets caught up on the fact that she’s not a stick figure. I tell her every day how beautiful she is, but she still experiences bouts of body hate.

Oh, and I love that you added a comments section. I’ve been a loyal reader for a few years now and you are fantastic! Now I get to tell you. :)
