Written by It has been heard from many plus size women that they seldom find fashion magazines representing their issues and concerns. Maybe there are a few, but to produce a fashion magazine is costly. However, it is frustrating that while they are seldom represented in a fashion magazine, they happen to be in the majority. Fortunately, SKORCH MAGAZINE is an answer to this particular issue. SKORCH MAGAZINE is a deviation from the traditional or mainstream magazine.
SCORCH was co-founded by Jessica Kane and Carrie Woomer in October 2006 under SKORCH, INC., as a free digital publication. Its ownership was changed in 2009 when Jessica Kane became the owner and publisher of SKORCH MAGAZINE under her company KANE KREATIVE. Carrie Woomer became the owner of SCORCH TV.
The purpose of SKORCH MAGAZINE is not to glamorize the overweight or obese, but to bring out our individuality as women and our unique beauty. SKORCH MAGAZINE believes that a woman of any size and shape has the ability to bring out the best in herself, establishing the best of her own identity. The mission of SKORCH MAGAZINE is to encourage women to set and reach their goals according to their terms and not to be intimidated at the society’s ideal of beauty. Your shape and size should not hinder you from doing something that makes you a fulfilled and complete individual. SKORCH MAGAZINE believes that even as a plus size woman, you can still live a smart and fashionable life, and SKORCH’s mission is to give you insights how to go about it.
SKORCH MAGAZINE is an alternative magazine for trendy and fashionable women sizes 12-28 (or the plus size) who find interest in a 
magazine that is very similar to mainstream fashion magazines, but at the same time gives fashion commentaries and advices for a plus size woman. Its target readers are women above the 0-10 standard clothing range. It does not only cover subject matters on fashion, but a comprehensive coverage of other issues and concerns that capture the interest of a plus size woman. Some of the other things you will find in SKORCH’s pages include beauty, health and fitness, finances, sex and lifestyle, arts and entertainment, and much more. SKORCH MAGAZINE pages also feature plus size models as well as other hardworking and inspiring plus size women who are making names for themselves, women who are successful in their careers and businesses.
While SKORCH MAGAZINE is active in size acceptance movement, it also promotes health and wellness. Size acceptance is different from size ignorance. Size acceptance is making every effort to be the best we can under a given condition, and being overweight should not hinder us from leading a productive and normal life. On the other hand, SKORCH does not encourage us to be size ignorant by disregarding the fact that there are health risks involved by being overweight.
Clothing size is not a health indicator, but women of any size can have a healthy status. SKORCH wants its readers to be well informed on health and be healthy. Part of its health advocacy is that you can find in some of its pages advertisements for exercise and fitness programs and other health concerns in SKORCH MAGAZINE. It also encourages you to monitor your medical condition by a regular visit to your physician.
For me, no matter what size we are, we should take a conscious effort to lead a healthy life. There are many ways to healthy living like watching our diet, doing some exercises, taking enough rest, and more. We can never be beautiful unless we have a healthy body, which can be obtained by women of all sizes. This is why SKORCH MAGAZINE encourages beauty, self-love, self-worth and health — not a specific clothing size, not size ignorance.
If you want a fashion magazine that speaks your voice and best represents your type of personality as a plus size woman, SKORCH MAGAZINE is available to you. The digital format is convenient to read online, the pages turn quickly, and you can zoom in zoom out a particular part of a page or images to see, with less or no effort at all. Cost wise, digital format is better than a paper magazine that gets recycled after one or two glances. Visit SKORCH’s official website.
