The concept of "plus size" clothing is completely horrifying me today. Don't get me wrong, I am a curvy girl that needs to wear these kinds of clothes, but the looks are horrific. Yes, there are curves on my body, yes I have a fuller frame, but don't put me in some cheap, unflattering clothes. Give me lines to play with, dresses to explore, and confidence to feel free in. According to Cosmopolitan, plus size doesn't start until size 8. (Pardon the language) but that is a bunch of bullshit. That could make girls even as low as size 6 think "if you want to be considered, you have to be a 4 or less." We are held to unrealistic standards today, and that NEEDS to change. We need to teach the next generation that curves are beautiful, and that you are worth it, no matter what size. We need to teach people that curves are okay, and that not all women are going to be twigs. Designers, just get rid of "plus size." We are all beautiful, and that term is derogatory.
What do you think about curves? do you like them? sound off in the comments section if you think its okay to have curves, or to be skinny.

Reviews...
I am sorry to say this, but I think I will have to stop doing the project runway reviews only because I keep missing about ten minutes of it, and it just gets to be a hassle to catch up. The designers in the competition are doing amazing so far, and I hope the judges can figure out who the true best designer is. I hope you guys understand where I am coming from. In case anyone missed last night, Sean won and Char went home.
Please feel free to email me at justateenagefashionista@outlook.com with any questions, comments, concerns, and advice for me to better this blog.
thank you

Sorry...
Sorry I couldn't get last week's project runway up... I started it, but I got in late, and I was just so confused. The challenge was awkward; It was confusing, and I didn't even know what to think... I honestly think Kini got robbed, and I am happy. Hernan went home. I guess fringe is what makes the judges go APESHIT (pardon the language) with happiness...

Nasty bugs (not the kind that fly)
So these past few days, I kinda had a bug (fever, headache, blah blah blah) and did not do ANYTHING! I was going to do a back to school post yesterday, but I just felt TERRIBLE. I still feel kind of crappy... I am literally laying on my couch in my tie dye art club t shirt and tribal shorts. I feel a bit better now, but I still feel slightly blergh. I recommend if you have a fever, DayQuil/NyQuil, +Mio Energy and Binge watching tv is a MIRACLE WORKER. so I'm sorry if I wasn't on... I will definitely be back for my weekly project runway review. I recommend Wahlburgers on A&E...

Thank you
I know I probably should do this more often, but it just wanted to say thank you to everyone who reads this blog. I only made this thing in school one day when I was bored , and now it turned into my life. Thank you

The Future of Fashion is in THEIR hands!
The future of Fashion is coming quickly in tonight's challenge; the future of fashion!
In the Beginning, there was Angela, crying. again. for the... 10th time now? The designers are here to learn about the history of Project Runway's judges and mentors.
Tim was in his 12th year at Parson's
Heidi just got in New York
Zac just learned he was into fashion
Nina unpacked garment bags at Marie Claire
The sketches seem very intriguing so far... Sandhya and Hernan both have unrealistic ideas.
As the challenge advanced, the designers walked in the studio... only to learn that their baby photos were on the wall of the studio. Apparently the future is dark and depressing? and grunge? Where is the happiness? The only remotely happy thing in this entire workroom is Sandhya's look. IT ISN'T GOOD! Char's concept is really cool. Her concept was women rebelling against the "assigned" dress code.
The models came in later, causing an epidemic of uniboob, confusion, and a lack of basics. Alexander was saying that his model has bigger chi-chis and she looks like she has a uniboob. Women kind of have one overall shape in their chests. It's time for the final fittings, and Alexander is... not done. Alexander's dress is done, and ugly.
We are in the future! These are my thoughts on each look, in no order. Red is loser, green is winner, bold is safe
Kristine- amazing jacket... not a fave... TOO SHORT "my favorite" -Heidi Klum
Hernan- amazing
Mitchell- not safe, Water World
Amanda*- there's no warrior princess, costume
Angela- i dont even know "Obi Wan Kenobi's manicurist" -Zac Posen (GOOD CALL HEIDI)
Emily- Winner in my eyes "not one of my favorites" -Nina Garcia (NINA IS WRONG)
Samantha- No cowl
Kini- not really...
fade- looks comfortable
Sean -bag hat was creative, but your models looks like a lady version of Lebanon Levi trying to be a man again... "Mary Poppins went shopping at Prada" -Zac Posen
Char- The top's cutouts were creative, and surprising
Korina- YASSS
Alexander- looks like a sack with leather trim "Maternity Mom" -Zac Posen and Kim Ensslen
Sandhya- NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... its the lovechild of tron and an astronaut... "bold" "realistic"
*Amanda was barely safe AGAIN

WHY?
Project runway has been depressing so far this season. Yeah, the phrase "its only been two episodes" may be said more than once, but its true. The two winning looks were not good. Just because of ripped sleeves and some rope, does that make it SO UNIQUE? Heidi has taken over this season, and Zac, Nina, and even TIM have become pretty much... her dogs. She is becoming too controlling, if this keeps up; im stopping watching. By this point in other seasons, valid calls would be made.
