Tempted? … Think again!

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

It’s strange, you would think a more frequently updated blog would be the target of spammers but since I have spent some time away from here the spam grows daily.

I have no issue with someone promoting their own site via the link I provide so long as there is a content relevant comment left and a non spammy user name but it is obvious to me me that a lot of these comments are bots or idiots that do not know how to get a comment accepted.

A lot of the comments come from the same group of people promoting their often poorly made or spam sites – they annoy me.

I am aware of the fact that they use face email addresses for those like me that hit the spam button so I have started to replace their real site address before clicking to report them.

What does this do? It makes it harder for them to get their emails through as their site gets marked for spamming, it can often get them in trouble with their host too especially if on shared hosting.

So if you want to spam here, give it a try – every post is moderated and rather than you getting a nice free link to your site for doing the right thing, all you will end up with is damage to your sites reputation.

Comment well – I’ll approve it!

Lizzie Miller Size 12-14 – too fat for a plus size model?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Lizzie Miller a 20-year-old model at 5ft 11in and 12.5 stone (US size 12-14) has caused a storm of controversy as she is considered too large to model for plus-size lines( – apparently they prefer to use US size 8-10 models in plus size shoots.)

a size 8-10 is plus size? a 12-14 is too big for a plus size model gig WTF???

What kind of world do we live in when a normal sized young lady is considered to big even for a “big girl”?

When I clicked the link to view the article on http://www.guardian.co.uk titled “Too fat to be a model? The picture that caused a storm in the fashion world” I expected to see a very large lady – not someone who is actually “average” by most countries growing sizes.

Obviously  I am not alone in thinking this is an attractive young lady with normal curves as the magazine that featured her (all be it a tiny pic buried on page 194 of Glamour magazine) has been inundated with praise and support for Lizzie even though she is by industry standards considered even too large for the plus size tag.

Personally Id like to see more “normal” women hired as models and reflecting normal women in the media

What do YOU think? Is she too fat for plus size?

Am I too fat for plus size modeling?

Am I too fat for plus size modeling?
