Orla
Kennedy,
press
officer
in
a
City
bank,
is
unhappy
with
her
job
and
her
weight.
'People
always
look
at
the
wrapper
first,'
she
explains,
'and
in
my
case
it's
bubble
wrap.
Of
course,
she
knows
how
to
lose
those
pounds
-
she
just
never
gets
around
to
doing
it.
Then
her
best
friend
Liz
asks
Orla
to
be
her
bridesmaid,
and
the
threat
of
being
swathed
in
pink
satin
makes
Orla
think
blancmange! She
decides
that
now
is
the
time
to
take
action.
She
sets
up
a
website
chatroom,
LightAsAFeather.co.uk, as
a
support
group
for
'larger
ladies'.
Things
are
going
swimmingly
until
Orla
is
invited
to
appear
on
daytime
television
and
is
persuaded
to
let
a
stick-
thin
model
be
her
double.
Very
good
condition.
Light

the
corners.
