Loulabelle, I don't know if you qualify either, but I'm dead certain you qualify as a beautiful woman, and that's the point I'm trying to make. thereiam seems to agree with my point that we should overthrow the labels, I think--I second the pox. I'm not really fighting the machine that would call me a BBW--that's too big a job--but rather the internal labels we put on ourselves when we post, when we think about ourselves.

In discussing it with my husband, he pointed out that some folks prefer a pleasingly plump woman, and the "BBW" label helps them find these women quickly and easily in the collection of beauty that is the women of Pixies, a shared vocabulary.
