Kim is Not a Loveseat


By now, you've probably all heard the sofa joke. I know I have. It's been popping up all over my Facebook, mainly by people who I can imagine have nothing better to do with their time than to hate on a pregnant lady who's just trying to have a good time at a gala where she can't drink. Yes, Kim Kardashian wore a very bold Givenchy floral dress to the Met's 2013 Gala. Yes, we have also seen sofas in our time with flowers on them, probably in our grandmother's living room.

Big fucking deal.

I keep seeing posts like "Kim your stylist must really hate you" or "you're just asking for it." It disgusts me to see the way not just the media, but even women are ganging up on her. Here is a woman whose body is going through an incredible amount of change as she grows another life inside her own. That's right. SHE'S GROWING A FUCKING LIFE INSIDE HER BODY.

WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY?

Oh that's right. You photo-shopped Kim's head onto a couch and then compared her to a whale.

What's even more alarming, however, is this blatant animosity of women who aren't a size zero. And clearly for some media outlets, it's becoming a pattern. Take TMZ for example, who in the past three months have made mocked fuller-figured women and their floral wardrobe choices.


 "This is the perfect look for a busy mom-to-be, as it sleeps two comfortably." Seriously?

And only three months earlier, they posted this....


Let's not just mock Adele's outfit, let's also point out the fact that we think she is a giant shapeless blob. Nice. I'd also like to point out that both of these posts were written by a man, who clearly is a gem of a dude.

Honestly, I think both of these women look fantastic. I dig the floral. Every magazine keeps telling us it's in now, RIGHT? I'm pretty sure I've even read that it's "impossible to go wrong with this trend." But clearly, according to TMZ and most of the media world, this trend should be avoided by anyone not a size zero and anyone having a baby. So essentially, if your body shape is not comparable to that of say, a vapor of air, stay away from the florals and stick to friendlier fabrics sucks as black tarps and hooded tents.

Got that?
