The Divine Miss R


I remember being a foot taller than everyone else as a teenager, attempting to shrink my 177cm frame down to something resembling that of my classmates. A futile exercise of course as my efforts only served to create round shoulders and poor posture which is not a look you are intentionally going for as a 15 year old who is desperately trying to blend into the crowd.

I could look at this woman all day long with her long limbs and beautiful curves. Australian plus size model Robyn Lawley is 183cm tall or 6 feet in the old scale and a standard Australian size 14 with  bust, waist, hip measurements of 99-78-104.  It strikes me as kind of ironic then that my measurements are exactly the same as Robyn's (I am 6cm  shorter) but most of my life I have been told in a dismissive way that I can wear anything because I am so tall and thin. Plus size indeed...go figure! This girl does not qualify as plus size in my mind but rather healthy size for her height. What do you think?
