Fatty Takes Paris Runway

damour.jpg

With the recent outcry over skinny models, Jean Paul Gaultier took the fashion world to task by sending Velvet d’Amour (pictured, strutting her ample stuff) down the runway at his recent Paris show.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports:

In what seemed more of a nod to front-row guest, the burlesque artiste Dita Von Teese, Gaultier sent out the plus-sized Paris-based American model and actress Velvet d’Amour, 39, in a satin corset and negligee. The rest of his collection was on a “workout” theme, an athletic wear-inspired collection of silk track pants, hooded sweat tops and dresses.

He couldn’t put the fat model in track pants because overweight people never excercise. And he probably wouldn’t have gotten as much press.

Thanks Leonardo and Jack!
My favorite workouts occur in corsets and negligees, preferably with hot muscular men in unform ;o)
Smooch,
Velvet

wow…stereotype much?

I sincerely hope you were being all kinds of sarcastic with this post. Quit hating. JPG and Velvet both made a powerful and courageous statement.

I wish Velvet would be in our annual pageant for plus size women “Big Beautiful Women Pageant” and Jean Paul would be the designer. See more at our web site: wilkesproductions.com

this goes to peaches: fat people DO have sex. Maybe you are just a silly skinny girl who only eats one cracker a day to be skinny, thinking that that is the only way to get a man.

Let me tell you one thing: even if you have a great body but you dont have a brain nor personality of your own, then you will be lonely the whole life.
