Lily Allen: Happy to be a size 8?
Categories: Celebs & Entertainment
Controversial British musician Lily Allen has lashed out at super-slim celebs like Victoria Beckham for making her look like 'Fat Lily Allen', according to this article. She says, "I'm a size 10 (American size 8) with a size 8 top (American size 6) and made to feel fat next to someone like Kate Moss. What makes me angry is I let it happen. I'm not super-skinny, so in 'Fameland' I'm fat. It's now my ambition to get all those skinny-arsed b*****s off the covers of magazines and get normal people on them."I think Allen's got the right idea -- Size 8 is not big and it's better to at least try and change the system rather than putting your own health at risk by conforming to it.
However, according to the Skinny Website, Allen isn't quite as confident with her size as she lets on. She apparently has caved to pressure and lost some weight. I hope she doesn't slim down too much -- the world needs more size-8 + cover girls.What do you think?

A UK size 8/10 is actually like a US size 4/5. Lilly is so far from fat it's not even funny.

Hi Joss, thanks for your comment. However, I do believe UK sizes are only one above US sizes -- at least, that's always been my experience when shopping over there compared to the size I wear over here. This chart confirms my thinking, and I use it as a guide in lots of my posts so if you have another resource, please let me know:
