quotable: sophie dahl

"as long as a curvy girl is held up as an anomaly, the whole thing is being perpetuated. when a curvy girl is no longer being hailed as different, we've made progress. i could talk about it for hours, but if one objects to very thin, unwell girls being used in advertising, then as a consumer, you have to make a first step. we've become a quite apathetic culture. it's all well to just talk about how horrified you are, but unless you do something and write to companies, then nothing really gets done."

-sophie dahl, on the curvy-model movement.
