| Summary |
*Coarse Language*Following the breakout success of 2HIGH and 2SEXY, ABC2 in collaboration with triple j, will spend a week undressing our national obsession with the body. With factual programming from Australia and around the world, covering topics from body building, to steroid use, to labiaplasty, to eating disorders and body dysmorphia, we'll examine why our shape is so tied to our happiness, and what social media and the explosion of the selfie is doing to our self confidence. Across the triple j network discussions will get under the skin of what's driving our fixation. It's time for a stripped back conversation on bodies. How much will you bare?The average size of women is on the increase. To cope with a boom in demand, the plus size fashion industry is going through the roof. As the women get bigger and bigger, specialist shops in the UK are opening new high street shops every week. But making clothes for fat women isn't just about supersizing the styles that suits thinner women, these clothes have to be designed in a different way. Now 'fat fashion' is starting to hit the cat walk with a new generation of bloggers, big models and 'fat fashionistas' dictating the trends. But still the fashion world's plus size models aren't large enough to really represent the larger ladies. To stay ahead of the trend, fashion shop 'Yours' are flying over California sensation Tess Munster who at size 24 is one of the biggest models ever and a real inspiration to many girls who are coming to realise you can be fat and fabulous.#PlusSizedWarsPRODUCTION DETAILS:Blast!
