Love your take on the plus-size woman, and how you dealt with the skinny theme!! Love em both, but I'll pick the one on the left at the beach!

I love the image of the women in their summer gear! It shows such confidence, and looks as if they're saying, "Skinny…why, when there's us?" What a wonderful and healthy blog you have!

LOVE.ERR.LY!
The sketches looks so happy and nice!
I like how you color them in so vibrant!
Though I'm not a woman, but I do support big in an unusually big way;)

These two pictures make me so happy! They are joyous women living their lives. I don't have a television, and when I do encounter one somewhere, and see the super super thin women on the shows, it actually makes me feel sick. REAL women do not look like that. I see an occasion movie, and though it's not quite so bad, it really offends me that the main women characters are all unnaturally thin. I find REAL women, who, as you say, come in all shapes and sizes, much more beautiful. Yes, there ARE some women that thin, so I shouldn't knock them, but their hair is messy, or they have wonderful wrinkles around their eyes, or their elbows are knobby.

Hi Elizabeth! Thanks so much for leaving such a positive comment on my blog. As hard as it was for me to accept the fact through adolescence, I do agree with you now. That everybody is special, no matter what size they are. I think what you're doing here is great and I hope you get your message across to as many people as possible
