Before 2010, representation of plus-size women in popular media was anemic. On film, films like Shallow Hal (2001) used fat suits and "magical" perceptions as gimmicks. On television, characters were defined by their weight—Ugly Betty’s struggles, or the constant diet jokes in Friends . In fashion, the "plus-size" section was hidden in the back of department stores, and models like Crystal Renn were considered radical.
