ASHLEY GRAHAM: THIS IS NOT HOW WE WANT OUR DAUGHTERS TO LOOK

There’s a lot to like about plus-size model Ashley Graham, who is currently celebrating the fact that she signed a lucrative beauty contract with Revlon. Ashley is a successful size 16 model and sometimes speaks to girls at high schools about body image and acceptance. As a teen she repeated the mantra “I am beautiful” to give herself courage. She means well, but teens should be encouraged to value education and accomplishment before looks. Aspiring to be a decorative object is absurd. Oh, and Ashley might rethink her wardrobe – this tight and rather vulgar dress is not a good example for anyone.

ASHLEY GRAHAM HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH CONFIDENCE

We agree that women ARE held to impossible standards of beauty and that young girls should be encouraged to be proud of their education and accomplishment above their appearance. So we’re confused about curvy model Ashley Graham. She encourages women of all sizes to feel beautiful – but why? Having confidence doesn’t come naturally to women, but it should depend on way more than just LOOKS. And that goes for both sexes.

ASHLEY GRAHAM: MAYBE THE WORST-DRESSED IN OSCAR HISTORY!

We went into SHOCK when we turned to the E! channel on Oscar night and found their panel of three women discussing Oscar fashion. Dead center was plus size Sports Illustrated model Ashley Graham looking like a cheezy stripper. Her tiny expository dress bordered on the obscene and it was ironic that she was observing and criticizing OTHER women’s red carpet fashion! Kris Jenner sat right NEXT to her on the panel and tried very hard NOT to look at her glaring exposure. We hoped she would make some sort of crack but she probably was afraid of offending plus size women! Ashley’s lapse in taste has NOTHING to do with her size, but her appearance was a huge step BACK for larger women.
