A couple of days ago I had a worry moment... I was getting lost of negative comments, and mot of them from models. Did all models hate me now?!? Not ideal for a fashion magazine editor...
... so I had a buzz round and asked a couple of internet models, for those of you who don't know; these are normal models with normal modeling careers from across the world who promote themselves on the internet and have gained a celebrity like following... This is what I got in reply!
Tara Mason - Artist, Model, Promoter, Designer, Entrepreneur, Musician, Actor, Host, Writer, Manager, Marketer, Stylist. (Yes - she's even busier than the Battlefronters!)

"I think it's (the campaign) awesome! keep it up!"

"I'm all for a healthy body image, who wouldn't be. The fact that people would give you shit about it makes no sense at all? I do understand that in the modeling industry clothes look better on a person that is between certain weights but there needs to be a healthy lower limit with that. No one wants to see stick figures walking down a runway and if they do then they have some serious issues!"

(bear in mind he talks American sizes!)
"I completely agree with what you're saying. not everyone has to be a size 0 or 1 to look good. I'm a size 2 and i get poked @ every day for being skinny. i can't help that i'm skinny! i'm actually pretty athletically built but i'm a small framed boy. leave me alone! lol. i also believe everyone can be beautiful. you just have to find out how each person is beautiful. Rachel Ray for instance... she is GORGEOUS to me and she's a 4. she has a very nice curvy body, nice butt & nice natural boobs. she is gorgeous! and not a size 0. I think the world should just lay off."

"This is so true! I hope more girls and boys just stay true to themselves and stop worrying so much about how they look or how skinny they wish they were. Find beauty within your unique qualities and be yourself, because trying to look like everyone else is boring and typical as long as you are doing good for your body eating good and exercising regularly just so you stay healthy you should just be happy with who you are."
One of the most famous internet model/ celebritys of them all... the one who was on the cover that sparked this whole campaign... Audrey Kitching!

I'd just like to say to Joshy Lofty that the fact you say size 4(uk size 8) is curvy is ridiculous you say you support the campaign but your vision of the 'fuller figure' is clearly warped.
To Rachel good luck with the campaign
Any size can be curvy. A zero can be curvy. Curvy means "having curves."
a 34-24-34 has curves.
a 42-42-42 does not.
A 42-29-42 has larger curves than a 34-24-34.
Pretty simple.
