You may interpret this any way you would like because I do not view a REAL Woman as only being over a size 12... if I did that would exclude my own mother. I used to have a roommate in Atlanta who was a dragqueen and honestly I wish I had a pic of her/him to put up because that was one hell of a REAL Woman in one of the many beautiful ways Basically what I am striving to acheive here is to show people are beautiful no matter thier color, size, status, etc. and that being considerate and that respecting others in their different ways and forms is appreciated and basically just right.
