It's a BIG World, After All . . . .
It turns out that "...there are more than 1 billion overweight adults, at least 300 million of them obese." (WHO)
In light of my recent trip to Merville, Paranaque (in my opinion, if you have to pay a toll fee, it's already a province...) to meet withe Maita's boss, Mrs Alba, I realized that it's really not all fat people's faults if they're fat. sometimes, their body just cant handle what food they take in. some of them try dieting, which just makes it worse (their body stops metabolizing coz they dont eat anymore) or some resort to gastric bypass surgery. it's really difficult to be fat-- you have to deal with health issues and psychological issues/self confidence (people making fun of you coz you're fat).
To help plus size women feel better and look better, companies like Big Closet, Tubby and Faro have been coming up with fashionable clothes just for these group of women.
I think it's a good cause we're doing for our fashion show management.
I used to think that no one will watch the show coz they don;t want to see fat women. What the world needs to understand is that plus size women can still be sexy and confident.
I'm proud we are promoting REAL women in our show.
It's just difficult to find models because of the mentality Filipinos have that fat is ugly.
So far, we have seven models. We need some more.
Overall, the casual clothes for Big Closet are too basic and well, large. i don't think they really do much for plus size women. but the new line of cocktail wear they have are pretty nice (except one long sleeves with bell thingies on the cuff--not my style. it's too seventies looking).
Of the 9 members of our group, only three of us were present (two were sick, one had to go to the embassy, one had to go to lto, one went to baguio and the other... well, i have no idea... i think she had a party).
The owner was quite disappointed that not all the members werent there. Her words: "...so irresponsible."
But we had to make the best out of the situation. Surprisingly, Kurt is really good at styling n matching the pieces together. It's really cool coz the owner said we can have the designs altered/modified to our specificaitons and if we wanted new deisgns just for the show, she could have them made for us. it's a pretty sweet deal.
Worst part about that day was the trip home. Lecheng taxi drivers! May "fixer" kc cla dun... kelangan daw magbigay ng P20 sa kanya yun mga driver. Annoying.
Well, I guess this is all for today...
