Yes, it’s that time again - for you to sit back and enjoy another terri!c issue of Just As Beautiful. "ere was a little delay in getting this issue to you, but we thank you for bearing with us.
As you can see, each issue gets better as we go along, and with your help we believe it will continue to be that way. Josie Gibson, our cover girl, has given us an exclusive that we are sure you would enjoy reading. Yes, the Big Brother winner is happy to #y the #ag for curvy girls, and where better than to say this in our magazine?We also had a one-to-one with Marco Pierre White, the renowned celebrity Chef. Meeting him was an experience for Jennie to say the least. Over the years we have advocated and pushed for a fairer society, so we wish Carrie Lynn Certa the best of luck as she takes on Hollywood in a bid to become the !rst curvy action superstar, and ask that you support her too in any way you can. Congratulations to our very own Siobhan Hickey on the birth of her baby daughter Abigail, and well done Lyndsay Russell, author of Making It Big, for soaring to the top of the book charts. Stories about curvy women that do not centre on diets rarely make it, so let’s hope that Lyndsay has paved the way for change and this success is not a one-o$.Fashionistas would notice our new fashion pages, which were shot in both London and New York, proving that we are truly international. As you can see, Denise Bidot steals the show wherever she goes.Remember, if ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, then every woman is just as beautiful as her neighbour, friend or colleague.Happy reading!

We want student fashion designers to be introduced to a realistic range of body shapes during their training process. Diversity can enhance craftsmanship not impede it
“ Only when those in the fashion industry understand how powerful fashion imagery actually is, and how ordinary women feel about the limited physical ideals that are currently used as a learning template, will we see progress.”

“Changing Hollywood is not something one person can take on, it’s going to take an army of
very strong women”
“ If I went to a normal audition for an action film I would be laughed out of the room”

I used to have crippling bouts of insecurity about my overall body image and working in the media has been a very difficult place for a plus size woman
I was once told by a fellow presenter that I was ‘the wrong side of 30 and a bit too plump’ to make it
