This is just too bad! Someone had to ruin our thunder!
I am remaining positive and truly believe it will still be the year of the Plus Model, people just like to give us a challenge. Charlotte Dawson host of Australia’s Next Top Model did not have the most encouraging words for the plus girls who were trying out to get on the show.
“There is no market for plus-size models in Australia…. it would be tokenism to put a plus-size girl through just for the sake of it…I would like someone to name a plus-size model in Australia because I can’t,” she said.
“We could have a plus-size model win the competition and she would end up doing catalogues for Target.”
I think there is nothing wrong with having a career based on catalogues, it may not be high end editorial but its work and it pays well. Nothing is ever wrong with that.

Charlotte Dawson and another judge on this show – Alex Perry – are just awful. They constantly snipe at contestants and perpetuate a thin ideal and homogenous look. They are mean and nasty & while I am sure Charlotte believe’s what she has said her – I have no doubt it’s been done to garner PR for the show too.
