Orange is the New Black star Dascha Polanco refuses to let Hollywood's ridiculous body standards get her down, insisting she is comfortable with the way she looks. "There's a lot of brands that don't want to dress me because I'm not sample size," she says. "But it just goes to show I have a decision as well - I don't have to dress with your clothing. It's not me waiting for you to dress me now... I choose who I want to be dressed by." She goes on to explain that although she may not appeal to a certain demographic, there will always be people who appreciate a different standard. "I'm secure in myself," she adds. "People have opinions. For many, I can be fat, but for many, I can be voluptuous; for many, I could be a nice chicken thigh to steak to filet mignon. To each his own."
