Say What?! Kim Kardashian Isn’t Plus Size Or A Size 2

Forever 21 will debut a plus-size collection in May called Faith 21. Us Weekly dished on Faith 21 in a recent issue, but the mag misleadingly connected Kim Kardashian to the new line.
Here’s a little faith for fuller-figured fashionistas: On May 1, they can try on a new plus-size line, Faith 21, from hip bargain chain Forever 21 (Kim Kardashian is a fan). “It’s for a curvier girl that loves fashion,” marketing manager Linda Chang tells Us of the knit and woven tops, dresses and jeans, ranging in size from XL to 2XL and all priced at less than $31.
It seems the mag was trying to bank on Kardashian’s publicity by naming her in the article, but the mention of her is unclear. Is she a fan of Forever 21 or Faith 21? Of course, Kardashian responded to the write-up on her blog—because she lives for the attention. She said she loves Forever 21 but isn’t plus-size. She’s curvy, and that’s very different from full-figured. “For the record, I am a size 2, not 2XL,” Kardashian wrote.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I was with Kim until she told this whopper. Her waist might be a size 2, but there is no way all that booty can fit into such a small size. What’s most annoying about this statement is that like so many other female celebrities, including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Kardashian has fallen into the lie-about-your-size trap. When people criticize their bodies, they fight back, saying, “I"m not fat, I’m a size 2!” Whether or not they actually are a size 2 is up for debate, so why even give a size and feed into the ridiculous standard that a size 2 is ideal?
I don’t see a problem with trying to set the record straight. I, too, would be offended is someone implied I was heavier than I am. But it would have been sufficient to say she doesn’t wear plus-size clothing. Instead, I would have enjoyed reading about how she tailors her clothes to get a custom fit (obviously, a piece of clothing that fits her bottom half wouldn’t fit her tiny waist). And how many of Kardashian’s fans who have curves like hers will read the blog post and think they, too, ought to be a size 2?

Maybe Kim is a size 2. I’m pretty sure she can afford to have any size she wants to be sewn into her clothes. It’s sad that we’ve bought into the mistaken belief that size matters. Beauty is beauty no matter the size. I’m 5’4” and the last time I was weighed, I was 230. I have clothes that range from a size 14 to a size 22, and shoes that range from an 8 to a 10. I’m in excellent health and I think I look as fine as a girl a quarter of my size. I look forward to the day when we can let size go and just be happy with our big booties, or small boobies, or whatever we have. Ladies, we’ve earned the right to be who we be.
That said, I could really use a Twinkie.

I will never understand womens sizes. More men i know love plus-size women and they keep trying to be skinny minnies. If the sizes vary that much who cares what size you wear?

... And just like that, I have to stop watching “keeping up with the Kardashians”... WTF? Its just like she whined in a really loud little girl voice: “BUT I’M NOT FAAAAAT!!!!!” Grrrr… What’s wrong with having some meat on your bones?
P.S.: I’m glad Forever 21 finally pulled their heads out and realized that some of us can’t fit into that crap!

Not many people understand women’s sizes. As a bra fitter, nearly all the women that come into my store need bigger bands and bigger cups and are in extreme denial about their true size. Just as you shouldn’t stuff yourself into pants that are too small (Kim?), you shouldn’t stuff your boobs into a small bra! It looks terrible.
Minus all the makeup, I think Kim is beautiful, and her body is pretty banging. Why the hell is she lying about her size?
Being a size 18 doesn’t automatically mean you’re fat, just as being a 2 doesn’t mean you’re hot. As with bras, You can be a 42H and rock your #&@$% so much better than someone who’s a 32B!

The thing I don’t get is, the size of a garment isn’t plastered on the outside - it’s on a tiny tag or label inside. Obviously, there is a visible difference between someone who is a size 2 and someone who is size 12, but if you’re a size 6, who cares? No one will know unless you tell.

I’m am so sick of the entire Kardashian family. They are everywhere! I really don’t care if you are a self proclaimed size two, got a ridiculous sunburn or are putting in your vapid two cents about any subject under the sun on your blog. I cannot believe this is what is considered news these days.
Oh, and as for the size thing, if you are really healthy and happy with your body, you wouldn’t have to go around yelling to the world what size you are whether it be a 2, 10 or 22.

Ok, WHAT??? Being a size 18 “doesn’t automatically” make you fat? Um, yeah, it does. Really, enough with the shamus screeching how they’re “healthy” and “beautiful.” If you are covered in rolls of blubber you are fat. If you have a gut, and your thighs chafe when you walk, you are not beautiful, and if you can’t jog a couple of miles, you are not healthy. The end. And in this day and age, when the clothing industry has re-worked the sizes so as to make everyone feel good, a size 2 fits a 5’5 woman who weights 125 and wears a D-cup bra - that’s what I wear. So, yes, it is possible that Kim is a size 2. In reality of course we should be in sizes 6 or 8s but since people have exploded into sizes that require weigh-ins on farm equipment, clothing sizes have been altered to make everyone feel good. Size 6s are now size 2s, size 14’s are now 8s - everyone feels good! And yet they just keep on growing!

@og217: not all women are 5’5”. Everybody is built differently, and on some women, an 18 might be a very reasonable size.

i am so tired of girls/celebrities being ridiculed/pressured for their weight. it’s sad and pathetic, really. jessica simpson is just one of the many examples of that. she has gained a few pounds from her previous size, yes, but to call her fat is just ridiculous. on the otherhand, i don’t think lying about what size you are is right either. whats the big deal? i’ve seen a lot of girls that were on the larger side that have been absolutely gorgeous and radiated confidence. size 2, 11, 23, doesn’t matter as long as you feel great and you’re happy with yourself.

Everyone also forgets that sizes depend on bone size as well. At my adult skinniest, I weighed 117lbs at 5"6. I was so skinny I looked anorexic (and no one seemed to have a problem telling me so). I just barely fit into a size 7. Now I’m healthier at a size 11 although I’d like to be a size 9

Hahaha, I’m a man but let me tell ya—my waist is (European mens’) size 29-30, but my legs are at least 32. Finding jeans that fit both my waist and legs and don’t make me look like I’m trying to be a hiphop-lovin’ teenager is a torture.
(Also, I can’t run a mile or half a mile due to a previous knee injury, which I suppose automatically makes me obese in og217’s eyes. If only world was as simple as that.)

who says fat cant be attractive? some people like a little meat on the bones. you are just falling victim to what you have been groomed to believe is beautiful.
“If you have a gut, and your thighs chafe when you walk, you are not beautiful“
you are shallow. end of story.

I’m sure I will get scolded for saying this, but I can’t imagine in any way, shape, or form that 5’4” and 230lbs is healthy. That is a LOT of weight on a rather short frame. I am not trying to say that woman is not beautiful, but I think she may want to check with her doctor about her actual health?
But with regards to size, I am 5’6 and about 115. I am just built thin… usually wear between 0-2 depending on the store and I think I would look kind of overweight if I suddenly put on 10lbs. My sister is 4 years younger, maybe 5’8” (?) and looks WAY too thin when she gets down to a size 6! It is totally about how a person is built.
But I still think over 200 is probably not healthy for ANYONE other than a football player or wrestler…

Sorry to point out the obvious, but people denying facts don’t cange them. That’s why the “big is beautiful” movement has failed to convince anyone except big fat women. Men aren’t swayed by all this hoopla. No one who is a size 18 is “beautiful.” Words actually have - gasp! - definitions! I know we live in a world where they are confusing - special means retarded and so forth, but really, beauty refers to a physical ideal. Kindness, intelligence, etc. are not all interchangeable with beauty. And FYI - I will not automatically “get a gut in 10 years” because I don’t delude myself with “genes, thyroid issues, and big-boned build” nonsense. Cook yourself 3 meals a day out of healthy ingredients and go for a stroll, and then no one needs to scare small children in pools.

@og217 you are NOT a beautiful person. Apparently, your shallow arrogance deems you as a person who has a hideous personality. There are plenty of beautiful big women…and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you have a problem with plus size people, why don’t you do them a favor and stay the hell away from them because they obviously don’t deserve to have such a cancerous person in their presence.
By the way, how big are you? What are your measurements? Do you have pictures? Its time that you feed yourself to the wolves..

@og217: You’re right! Words DO have definitions! And merriam-webster’s website defines “beautiful” as
1 : having qualities of beauty : exciting aesthetic pleasure 2 : generally pleasing : excellent
which of course proves nothing except that “beautiful” is subjective, exactly as everybody (except, apparently, YOU) already knew.

Yeah, everyone is shallow and arrogant if they don’t think a size 18 is “beautiful.” So, like, all males, pretty much (but this is definitely the kind of thread that believes that anyway.) Oh, and you needn’t worry, I and most everyone else does stay away from “plus size beauties.” I certainly don’t bother to impose my (um, the universe’s?) rules on anyone. If people want to live sad lonely lives while wheezing up a flight of stairs, I don’t mind, why should I? It’s only when they demand to be treated as beauty queens and sex symbols (or squish me on an airplane by spilling over my seat) that I have a problem. Otherwise, live and let live. I just think that it’s pretty pathetic to moan about the “media” and “shallow people” who “don’t recognize inner beauty,” as if somehow being outwardly unattractive is an automatic bestowment of a great personality.

UHM, First of all, you need to check yourself. Secondly, I’m a size 18, I look good in a swim suit, don’t have hundreds of pounds of excess flesh, and don’t spill over any airplane armrests. Oh yeah, I can also pass a police fitness test, run a mile, AND make it up a flight of stairs without “wheezing”... Maybe you should reconsider what you believe to be a size 18. I’m not beautiful, I’ve never claimed to be a beauty queen or a sex symbol, but I’m not a tub of lard either. I think you’re confusing people that are a little overweight, with those that are bedridden and morbidly obese. Oh yeah, and guys are beating down my #&@$% door to get in bed with me, so I really don’t see a “sad, lonely life” in my future.
Thanks.

My bf likes bi girls…...he tries to get me to stop excercising sometimes because he likes my curves and wishes I would gain a little lol. he doesn’t want me obese, but just because the popular interpretation of beauty states that its a size two, doesn’t mean that’s how everyone feels. The point is, you should never call people ugly, because that word is subjective, and instead of making your point, it just hurts people. Its ok if you prefer women to be skinny, but that is not the reality of the world. I have a close friend that is a size 16 and is so gorgeous and extremely healty and athletic, but she works in the fashion industry and feels so ridiculed that she as been struggling with anorexia and bulimia for the past 18 months. I would love to beat the hell out of everyone that says a larger size is ugly. you’ve helped ruin my best friends life.

This is what the media has us coming too, fighting over what the correct size is. What it boils down to is everyone is different, no one is perfect, and in one way or another everyone has something in their life that is challenging be it good or bad. We should all just be thankful that we have a roof over our head, food on our plates, a job that allows us to have these things, and hopefully good friends/relatives to help us deal with people who are sucked up into their selfish, narcissistic (?), I am holier-than-thou, tiny worlds.

I don’t make the rules, I just think that there are some, and such is life. Size 18 is not “a little overweight.” I know what a size 18 looks like - there are women that size in my gym, I see their clothes and the size labels, so I am definitely not confused about what that looks like. I’m sorry if people of that size don’t like to be called overweight, and want to call it something else, but theyare in fact, overweight. If there are entire continents where, if your luggage was lost, you would not be able to buy any clothes, then you are overweight. A girl I work with had that happen and as a size 14, spent the entire business trip in one set of jeans and 2 hoodies. Yes, people are different, not everyone’s best is a size 00. But there is some upper limit to what a human female should weight. I think the reason fat people fight so hard to not be called fat, overweight or unhealthy is because they feel that admitting it would mean that they are responsible and therefore,m should do something about it. And they would much rather demand that others change their views than to admit that perhaps they are in fact, overweight, unhealthy and out of control with foods.

WOW. You’re so off the friggin’ reservation, you can’t even realize it. God help you if any of your children or family members ever have a gland problem, or god forbid, a larger frame. If that happened, you would probably drive them to suicide, and feel accomplished in your words and actions. You’re obviously not jaded about sizes or “what weight women should be”, but maybe you’re just one of those people that can’t feel accomplished without shouting to others about how great you are… YAY! You’re a size two and you’re perfect, I’m so glad for you!

@og217: You’re missing the point entirely. If someone is a size 18 and her doctor says she is healthy, then it’s none of your damn business how she looks and it’s sure as hell not your place to say she’s not beautiful. There are no “rules” except the ones you choose to follow. If you want to be (and can be) thin, more power to you. But stop projecting your ideal onto the rest of us!
And by the way, I’m a size 14 and dudes think I’m hot. So those countries who don’t have clothes that fit my size can bite me.

Im definitely gonna agree with wawmama at the end of the day studies show that males are not necessarily attracted to your size but your attitude and confidence. Its not how big or small the package is it is how you present it. Come on women we know plenty of guys that they think they have bombshells on their arms and those girls are like average, but what makes her a bombshell to him is how she carries herself. Since when did the world get stuck on outer looks and not inside personalities? The prettiest girls on the outside are some of the ugliest on the inside. Im with Tyra…I am FiErCe in WHATEVER i put on and anybody who dont think so dont matter.

Please, the “big is beautiful” movement did not create this, ignorance did. Some plus size women are beautiful, and contrary to what some believe, big women don’t all get that way by just eating crap. People do have thyroid conditions, they have kids and are unable to get their bodies “back”, life gives us different challenges. Some people struggle with weight, and they don’t need people being cruel to them, that won’t fix that problem.
When you accept yourself, and get self esteem, you end up at where you need to be. Name calling, and comparing others to animals is just wrong, not to mention childish.
Truth is you don’t know if someone is working on their weight, it’s a process to lose it. Some people are actually addicted to food. Like most addictions, it takes awhile to recover.

@slightlymad: yes, you look gorgeous, and happy!
og217 is combining several different issues—beauty (which is subjective!), health, weight, and clothing size. The last three categories all have great variation, depending on how your body is shaped, weight distributed and whether you exercise regularly. One general way to check whether someone is a “healthy” weight is to calculate a BMI (body mass index), although this can vary based on muscle mass, etc. That said, your BMI does not reflect your physical fitness—skinny people can be horribly out of shape and overweight people can be in excellent shape.
With regard to clothing size, a personal note: when I was a college athlete, I weighed around 120 lbs at 5’7”, but because of my muscle build wore size 10 tops. I was in the best shape of my life, although I did do some heavy breathing when racing or running stadiums
.
Finally, as a women’s physician, I have seen thousands of “ordinary” women and firmly believe that beauty is not related in any way to size—there are some ugly skinny people and absolutely gorgeous heavy people out there!
Peace and health to you all, whatever your size.

Um, Marilyn Monroe wore a size 4 and 6. If you’re going to be all Southern Mama who knows best, you should know what you’re talking about. Today, Marilyn Monroe would wear size 4 or 6, depending on the label. Due to “size inflation” clothing manufacturers have steadily increased the size of clothing while still calling it a 4, 6, 8, etc. If you go shopping for a wedding dress, you will see that because that is the only area where sizes correspond to actual measurements. I wore a size 10 wedding dress, while I wear a size 2 or a 4 everything else. So Marilyn Monroe and size 12? Yeah, back when size 12 meant a real size 12. Her clothes still get auctioned off, people still have them. Some magazine got a hold of some and did an expose on the sizing lies of the clothing industry. And Marilyn is probably turning over in her grave now that people use her as a poster girl for being overweight.

og217, please allow me to introduce myself. I am the 29 year old mother of 4, i am 5 foot 7, i am 215 lbs, and I am overweight. When i was 16 I had my first child, and prior to my pregnancy i was 125 lbs, after wards i was 175 lbs and for the first time in my life i wore a bikini, and i looked much better then i had at 125 because i had curves. At my heaviest i was 245 lbs and I was fat, i was overweight, and i’m not quite sure what happened. One day i was 210 and the next day i was 245 lbs. Ignorance I suppose, none of my clothes fit any differently but i was certainly much much heavier. I lost 30 lbs, and everyday i look at myself in the mirror and I want to cry, because I think i’m fat, because I’ve been trying to lose weight again for over a year and i’ve lost essentially nothing, even with lifestyle changes such as no more soda and quitting smoking. Everyone tells me I’m fine, that if i lost weight thats all fine and good but that i’m beautiful I will never believe them, i will never see myself as beautiful, and i feel like obviously i deserve the unhappiness i’ve gone through because i’m just fat and worthless. It’s people like you that re-enforce my thinking. Thank you for reminding me that some people are just fat losers who deserve nothing.

Yikes. The willful ignorance of some really blows me away. Og217: when I was 13 years old, I started gaining weight. I always ate healthy, and was pretty active. My doctor told me not to worry because it was probably just puberty. Fast forward a few years: I was 21 years old, 5’1, and 170 lbs. After dieting, eating healthy, exercising like crazy, I finally had a full blood work up and exam. Turns out, I had a tumor on my thyroid and cysts in my ovaries (PCOS). It turns out, the tumor was making my thyroid go haywire (hypothyroidism) and the PCOS was causing high levels of testosterone. Both of these things, both HORMONAL, had caused me to gain weight seemingly for no reason.
So. I had surgery to have my thyroid removed, and I was put on replacement hormones as well as several drugs to treat PCOS. It has taken a few years, but I’ve lost 50 lbs DOING NOTHING; the regulation of my hormones have done this.
Any doctor (that’s doctor with an actual M.D., not an armchair doctor like you) will tell you that the endocrine system reacts and changes slowly - so, it will takes years for it to screw up, and then years for it to get back to normal after treating the problem. My doctor told me that many women have thyroid issues and don’t even know.
So. Before you let your mouth disconnect from your brain again, think about that. And you know what? I think you might be a little jealous of fuller figured women. I have come across quite a few skinny women with no t*ts who are always thinking some woman is gonna come and steal away her man. Even though I’m considered overweight at 5’1 and 140lbs, I’m a curvy knockout, and I get stares everywhere I go. That paired with a 38DDD chest, and let me tell you, you better believe I get stares from the boyfriends of skinny women.
I wonder if you have been burned in your life by a gorgeous full figured woman, and that’s where all your meanness stems from. Or, maybe you get no attention from men (because of your awful attitude) and you project that onto other women. Either way, I now kinda feel bad for you.

Comments like Og217’s make me feel like crap. I toe the line between a bmi of “healthy” and “overweight”. My boyfriend loves me for who I am on the inside… I like to think I don’t care what anyone else thinks but self esteem issues don’t go away that easily.
Yes there are obese people who need to lose weight… but there are also skinny people who need to eat a cheeseburger and shut and grow the #### up!
And who really cares if the clothing size #‘s have changed?... (only those who are arrogant and judge someone else based on a superficial number that someone else decided to give their physical size because theirs is “better”)
Personally, I’d really rather pants be sized in a similar way to men’s… except we need: waist + inseam + hips… because some women have a skinny waist compared to their hips and have a hard time finding pants to fit right with the preconceived notion that big hips == not a defined and smaller waist!!
Mmmmm I love feeding the trolls even though I really shouldn’t.

@cougiex: My BMI is the same way. I fluctuate between that “healthy” range, and 1 point too high. And since there’s no way in hell I’m giving up my mama’s style of cooking in favor of a spinach salad, I think that’s excellent - and men have never seemed to mind my size. Maybe it’s different since I’m in the South (but I doubt it). I like my size, and I’ve said it before - anybody who has a problem can bite me.
@Og217: I can see there’s no changing your mind, but please stop mixing up “full-figured” and obese. People who are obese (as diagnosed by an actual doctor) need to lose weight for their health (not to conform to your ideal, or your perception of males’ ideal), and they’re probably still beautiful either way. Keep hating on curvy women if it makes you feel good to bring other gals down and reinforce their negative image of themselves. Good for you, you made someone sad today.
