As the makeup artist on the shoot, I got to work behind the scenes, experiencing much of what happened on that day. Viewers were outraged at the way she treated not only the idea of plus models, but the women who were her clients, from Plus Model Magazine, by offering fruit loops (you know, because fat people eat fruit loops, right??? – I mean, really!) Some even turned off the television in disgust!
So how shall I put this lightly… or not? Her show does not promote any type of positive body image. In fact, I think that it feeds eating disorders instead.
What did you think? Is Janice wrong to treat plus size models (and plus size people in general) this way, or is she just running her agency the way any business owner would?
And how about her blog post “I don’t hate fat people, or any people” Do you think she is sincere?
