- Nancy Upton, the winner of American Apparel's plus-size model contest, penned an article about why she spoofed the fat-women-as-pigs stereotype in her submission photos. "[With the contest, t]he company was co-opting the mantra of plus-size empowerment and glazing it with its unmistakable brand of female objectification," Upton wrote. "The puns, the insulting, giggly tones, and the over-used euphemisms for fat that were scattered throughout the campaign's solicitation began to crystalize an opinion in my mind." Make sure you read your whole piece, because it's very thought-provoking. [The Daily Beast]
