Plus size model without being given the title "plus size"?

This short blurb about Beth Ditto walking the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier addresses the misconceptions of her being unhealthy. It shows how today's culture sees skinny women as always healthy, and bigger women as unhealthy and even detestable. Ditto says she is "tired of proving herself all the time." This sheds light on how women of Ditto's size must constantly prove that they're comfortable with their bodies.

What was the point in bringing Adele into her body issues? I understand that the press are going to ask her about her weight, but i dont see why she should have to compare her body to that of someone elses to justify her weight gain.

What she says makes me angry, I think the reason no one comments on Adeles weight the same as Lady Gaga is because Adele doesn't pose in her underwear so people can see how thin she is and hope they chage their view of her. Adele always says she is who she is love it or hate it which I personally really admire. I saw an interview of Adele where she said her weight and the way she looked was irrelavant to her music and shes not interested in people liking her; its all about the music for Adele. Instead of comparing herself in terms of weight maybe Gaga could compare authenticity and talent which is surely more important.
