Novelist Jennifer Weiner (In Her Shoes), has a blog --did you know that?

Now, Weiner's writing about weight, size and society's perceptions of beauty---all sparked by seeing pictures of singer Beth Ditto naked on the cover of a music magazine. Weiner writes:

"Size ten is not enormous. Size twelve is not enormous. But, when all we're ever shown are the zeroes, size tens and twelves start looking disproportionately huge, and healthy, normal girls and women start feeling like freaks. So I'm a fan of Beth Ditto (and I listened to the music on YouTube, and her voice is amazing)."

You go, Jen!
