“Having brought the house down with the spectacular “Standing in the Way of Control,” Beth decided to execute a celebratory stage dive, a move that I can only describe as ill advised with a mosh pit comprising various supermodels and sundry fashionistos in aching want of a square repas. In fact, as far as I could determine, there was a parting of the waves as the svelte and deeply panicked hordes flung themselves out of the oncoming path of the potential weapon of mass destruction that is la Ditto, and there was something closely resembling a resounding thud in place of the expected slap of flesh on expectantly upraised palms.” - Hamish Bowles, in his post for Vogue Daily.

how embarrassing, though I wish she would of landed on Karl, for being such a hypocrite and inviting her to all his shows and parties...nothing against beth, except as long as people glorify her body there is nothing wrong with putting a size 0 model in Vogue, just think Karl's being a hypocrite

Yikes! Some harsh comments from the readers but people love to talk shit about people they don't even know.

"Yeah because its cool to glamourize obesity isnt it? She looked soooo out of place in the Stella show. Hope she went down hard."
Look I am ok with you hating us fatties just based on your own taste, you don't like the way Beth looks - your life, your choice. Just stop making this about health and in consequence morality. Don't hide behind buzzwords, own your choice.

Guest 13: It isn't cool to glamorize obesity, but the fashion industry is guilty for glamorizing on the opposite spectrum with anorexic models. No matter if you are obese or anorexic, I don't think any of us should sit here and make jokes about someone's weight because we don't know the struggles that they go through. No wonder people perceive the fashion industry as stuck up snobs, because we have idiots on here who don't believe that anyone over a size 2 can be fashionable or be part of the fashion crowd.

"'Dont hide behind buzz words, own your choice', has to be the most stupid thing i have ever heard."
Hey, at least I made top of the list in something. Admittedly it sounds more American even Californian than is comfortable for me. (Thats what you get for your Cultural Imperialism). I just get really irked by people hiding their fatphobia behind a word like obesity and health concerns. It's like running around calling skinny girls anorexic.
