Plus-size vlogger rocks a bikini to put body shamers in their place

Loey Lane knows there are people who don't like the way she looks — and she doesn't care.

In a powerful video for YouTube called "Why Fat Girls Shouldn't Wear Bikinis," the plus-size fashion vlogger proves she's not letting nasty comments about her size get to her, and encourages others to do the same.

"Why is it that someone else can dictate that you are not allowed to put something on your body that makes them uncomfortable?" Lane says in the video.


The 22-year-old also poses questions like why someone who is larger has to cover more square inches of their body to justify someone else's opinion, or why people assume she eats hamburgers just because of the way she looks.

And, she makes clear, she's not looking for unsolicited opinions about her body.

"It is really scary to think that because someone is wearing less clothing that they're asking for some sort of feedback," Lane says in the clip.

Just last month, another plus-size model, Tess Holliday, helped launch the #SimplyBekini movement to inspire all women to feel beach-ready.

"Any woman, no matter her size, any man, any human being, they're not looking for your approval or your praise of what they're wearing," Lane said. "If they post it on social media, they probably think they look bomb in it and to tell them anything less is just such a bad and negative thing to do."

Thoughts?

Modern society simply doesn't tolerate overweight people, no matter what she or anyone else says about it. It sucks, but that's the mindset our medias and the fashion industry have successfully programmed into people's brains.

Dear Loey,

I agree with you on people thinking that they have the right to tell you what you should and shouldn’t be wearing. You are a beautiful girl and if you feel comfortable and happy when you wear your bikinis then you should rock them. People always think that they have all the answers and they know better than someone else, when really, unless it’s kind and positive we should just keep it to ourselves. But until that miracle happens, just be your own beautiful self and don’t let them get you down.

Keep on rocking!

Signed,
Jazzy
