Greek General Marcos Botsaris was just a child when his family was slaughtered in a deceitful attack on his village. Young Marcos was kept alive to serve the evil tyrant who made him an orphan. After years of servitude, Marcos escapes his captors to lead an epic revolution that dismantles the Ottoman Empire, effectively ending hundreds of years of oppression under the Ottoman regime. Sons of Chaos is a dramatic often tragic retelling of Marcos’ incredible fight for freedom and vengeance. Through his eyes, we witness his evolution from a scared young man into one of Greece’s most revered heroes.

The average height and size of an American woman is 5 foot 4, size 16. The average size of a model is under 6 in missy, 10 in plus and both are expected to exceed 5’8 in height. This leaves a staggering disparity in how the average woman compares to her print and digital counterparts. Essentially shorter curvier women are the norm and yet vastly underrepresented. Though they make up the majority, this group is relatively unseen. Visual representation by brands, networks, and organizations opt for taller women to showcase their products or represent brands. In their efforts to celebrate their actual consumers, some brands have steered away from the size 10 and employed larger models like Tess Holliday and Simone Mariposa.
