LOL!! I see this all the time, too! I tell my male friends who adhere to a "no big women" policy that I hope a nice curvy woman bursts into their life and rocks their world!
I remember this magazine! It was awesome! I actually used it when I was doing counseling with young girls about weight, and self-esteem/self-image. I'm sad its gone, too. :(
I firmly believe that we are all born to be of a certain body type. Some of us will never be a smaller size because it just doesn't fit our bodies. Long ago, I got down to a size 10, and I hated it. In my eyes, I looked skeletal. My regular size is a 12/14, which I am, and its where I feel most comfortable.
And as far as that first video, that was a fun song! I wonder if he planned on wearing Gilligan's outfit, though....ha, sorry
