“It’s really frustrating when curvy girls are just ‘asked to the party.’ Like, let’s say they’re featured in magazines, but they’re the ones that are wearing underwear and a sweater. It’s either like, as little as possible or the most giant thing possible. That’s frustrating, but I know why. I’m so immersed in the industry that I know why that’s the case, and it’s because there isn’t anything to put on her. There isn’t anything that the magazine feels is worthy to put on for this editorial. We keep waving the finger and saying, ‘Oh, magazines, put more diverse sizing in your stories and make it more inclusive,’ but their hands are a little bit tied too. So it’s like, what comes first, the chicken or the egg? They’re not just the bad guys. Everyone has to move together, and the time is really now. I love the celebration of a woman and a body. But if you see a group of girls and they’re all in fab outfits and one girl’s just in underpants and a sweatshirt, then you know exactly why.” — Candice
