I'm ugly and please don't try to tell me I'm not, because if you do, then I'm going to think there is something wrong being ugly. It's OK to be ugly. Lynn has formed a group called The Pinocchio Plot . She named it after the character from children's stories whose lies made his nose grow. Her main target is the entertainment industry, which is fond of stereotypes equating beauty with virtue and ugliness with evil.
People think that if a person is happy being fat, there's something wrong with that person.
It is people who don't like to look at fat people. And her point is well taken. If you are happy with who you are or what you look like, more power to you because so many people are not. She is trying to instill role models into the world that aren't perfect. These types of role models, Lynn says, would show youngsters that they can be worthy and capable even if they don't fit society's idea of beauty.
