Chloe Marshal who was the first plus sized woman to compete in the miss england pagent.
This seems more common sense than anything or atleast observation, it seems many of us big girls crave to see big women in the spotlight. I was reading a post on Chloe Marshal
And it struck me, most of the women role promote fat acceptance in a big way are plumpers. thats right though the most vocal tend to be bbw’s and ssbbws but its the plumpers that actually make progress. delta burk, Chloe Marshal, America Ferrera, Kirstie Alley etc etc…. all plumpers .
I find that interesting because I have been told by women in the FA movement that smaller bbws cant understand or help the cause but here I am looking at story after story of plumpers making the biggest difference in america’s perception of size vs beauty.
My ex boyfriend ( bbwpimp from ThickTopia)compared it to the light vs dark skinned black thing.
on how lighter skinned blacks gained acceptance first making the way for their darker skinned brethren I feel plumpers are the fa equivalent of light skinned blacks, and the FA movement is where the civil rights movment was in the 50’s.
america ferrera is to FA today what lena horne was to civil rights in the 40’s not that lena did any marching

Lena Horne the first really big african american star way back in the 40's
America Ferrera Star of ugly betty, award winning actress and plumper( you go girl!!!)
but she did add acceptability to the african american community in the eyes of the general population at large. I imagine many guys back in the 40’s saying ” that lena horne is hot for a colored gal” and I also imagine some viewers of the miss englan pagent saying ” that Chloe Marshal is hot for a fat chick” yes that is offensive in and of itself but it is a step toward acceptance.
