Coleen's real women - I am the only one annoyed by this?

Now this show is supposed to promote the inner beauty in us all and let "real women" realise they are beautiful too and I assume pull the break on the fashion's industry use of very young and very skinny girl.

Sounds good in principle. What really really annoys me about this show is that each time they talk of someone who is above a size 10 (usually the said person is size 12 or 14) they refer to "fuller figure" or larger women. Now I thought size 12 or 14 was quite normal in the UK and certainly didn't qualify as "larger" or "fuller". Am I mad?

And despite being supposed to promote real woment they keep making derogatory comments, especially that skinny woman helping Coleen. I couldn't believe it when at the end of the show she said that she was disappointed that they couldn't find a "good" redhead and fulfill the brief. Now I wonder how the beautiful redhead they didn't select because she had "big boobs" felt to know she wasn't "good".

It makes me so cross!!! Am I the only one to find this show very hypocritical?

bethoo - I have seen Gok deal with a few smaller women. One was a woman who didn't feel womanly/sexy because she was very skinny, flat-chested etc, so dressed like a teenager. Gok worked wonders with her

I agree he mainly works with larger women, but generally, these are the ones made to feel bad about their bodies by the beauty industry.
