A NYFW mural that reads 'You do not look fat' has spurred a roaring debate among the fashion set.
“Look at Lizzo,”. “She fucking owns that shit. Why is everybody obsessed with her? She's confident. Lizzo's not fat. She's fucking gorgeous. She's Lizzo. There is no fat.”
Now that there’s been more discussion around the piece, though, and she’s had some time to reflect, Longshore says she sees how her intentions were perhaps misinformed.. “My grandmother would be like, ‘Oh, Ashley, you’ve gotten fat while you’ve been at college.’ So maybe in my own mind I have a negative connotation with that word. I’m here to learn as well, and I want to learn to not be upset about that word. That’s where my heart was when I put that [slogan] up there.
“I think a lot of the time plus-size women in this industry are in a bubble, especially in New York. We’re so open-minded and excited about using the wordit’s natural and normal to us. But we forget that some percent of the population doesn’t think that way. Sometimes you need to think outside your bubble.”sees the importance of moments like so they can spark discussion outside of the plus community.
At the end of the day, it shows just how far there still is to go in terms of destigmatizing the word“Women are on a lot of different journeys [with their bodies], and we’re all coming from different starting points,” says. “[At Curvy Con] we hope that we can get women to a better point of embracement—and that can take one year, 10 years, you might not ever get there, but we want to be there to support you whatever way you go.
“I by no means think I know everything, and it’s hard to be misunderstood,” she says. “I saw some of the comments people were making on Twitter; I was not trying to stir the pot at all. I literally want people to feel good about themselves—I think self-love is so fucking important. I have on a necklace that says ‘I would fuck me.’ I love every inch of me. Again, I’m here to learn, and hey, I’m a happy, fun-loving, painting, entrepreneur, fucking fat chick! And I couldn’t be happier about it.
