This reminds me of a Marilyn Monroe thread here, where someone was wondering if the poor woman was just rolling over in her grave. After spending her entire life being the epitome of class, style, and fashion, to then be taken up as the face of HAES/fat acceptance/"Marilyn was a size 12!!"

Yeah I never knew Monroe was a size 14. Back in that day size 18s were seen as beautiful. Her size 20 figure was worshipped. The pictures of her in size 28 clothing just shows you that if her size 40 figure can be adored, so can size 120s.

IRL, putting a picture of Monroe alongside your fatass just emphasizes the differences, not the similarities. I like to think Marilyn would just have turned away, rolled her eyes and tried to stifle her laughter.
