O\k, so today I read an article that I had to include here. On April 28th, 2015 (date of the article), thanks for buzzfeed.com, I found our that my topic is more relevant than I thought. The news I found out about was that Japan has a plus size models magazine. It turned a year old in April 28th.
Japan also has plus models and they are amazing. They say that people love these "Marshmallow girls" (That name is so japan! Kawaii). The magazine is called "La Farfa" and it's specialized for everyone,but the models they use are the "Marshmallow girls", who share styling tips and advertisements.
The magazine wanted to provide more positive representation of bigger girls. Not only that, but break the stereotype that all japanese girls are the same.
Harumi Kon, editor in chief of la Farfa
So kudos to Japan! Stay Kawaii!
