What is BBW? About Big Beautiful Women and Plus Size Models

As soon as we, in Russia, call full ladies: both a crumpet and a fat woman ... But in the West, the concept of BBW has long existed. What is BBW? This abbreviation stands for Big Beauty Woman, which translates as "Big and Beautiful Woman."

This name appeared in 1979 in the magazine for owners of large forms of BBW Magazine. This name was quickly picked up in the United States, which is known for a large number of obese people, and in the 90s it spread throughout the world.

Who is Big Beauty Woman called?

Big Beautiful Woman can be called a very large representative of the fair sex, whose weight will reach two hundred kilograms and above, and a lady who has only ten to twenty kilograms of excess weight. For especially large ones, by the way, there is a separate name - SS-BBW (Super-Size Big Beautiful Woman). Here you can already talk about weight, which can cause domestic and medical problems.

If we talk about the psychological aspects of the term BBW, then these women should have charisma, be charming, sexy, self-confident, and most importantly - love yourself for who they are and enjoy life.

Russian beauties

If you ask in Russia what BBW is, then they will not answer you right away. The fact is that in our country this concept is associated with the porn industry, and films with full pornographic actresses are marked with this abbreviation.

We are more accustomed to the names “Kustodievskaya beauty” or “Rubensovskaya lady”, since the canvases of P. P. Rubens and B. M. Kustodiev depict girls and women with magnificent forms.

However, not every fat woman can call herself that. Muses of artists had wide hips, a large chest and a rather thin waist. But a big beautiful woman can be everything.

Full mod

This term is now often used by fashion designers who create clothes for the full - plus size. In the same 90s, when the standards for models reached incredible numbers (80-55-80), and girls began to die from anorexia, fashion designers brought models of non-standard shapes and sizes to the catwalks.

It was publicly stated that now there is no framework and standards. But is it? Some standards have been replaced by others. Have you met plus size girls with small breasts or big belly in magazine photos or on catwalks? No, because the model should have a magnificent chest, an elastic butt and the absence of a voluminous abdomen. Opinions on such models are shared. Some are glad that large girls should no longer be shy about their excess weight, while others are talking about promoting overweight and unhealthy diets.

But while there are so many full people in the world, while the fashion industry is developing a new direction, creating plus size clothes, non-standard size models will gain popularity.
