This post was meant to be a backstage report from dress rehearsal for the Cheri Milaney Fashion Week show as I was one of the original "real women" models selected. This past week the designer's team decided to cut all but a small fraction of the models from the show. In short, they changed their minds about how they would present their collection. I personally think they were unprepared to execute what they intended.
If I were to write the previous post again I would not use the word courageous to describe the efforts of this designer. We don't know if alternate models will be booked for the show. We do know that there are a few women who were spared from the cut and they will be walking next week. This means the show will still be newsworthy.
I was previously very excited about this show because of all that it signified to me as a modern woman and as one who helps people to see that beauty is not defined by commercials and catwalks. I still believe that major industry progress is on its way...it's just taking its sweet time.
