i've got curve, cellulite. things jiggle that shouldn't jiggle apparently and i'm not afraid to talk about it and not afraid to showcase it on the runway live in action and i really want women to know you're included. we're talking about -- we're talking about the everyday woman, not the idea of what a woman should look like. >> and we keep hearing that more and more -- we've had melissa mccarthy on the show and she has a new line out and one thing she's pushing for, the department stores put all the clothes on the same rack. >> together, why not. i think the word plus size is dividing what women think of each other. and i think if we just got rid of that label and we just said, look, you're a woman and we're not going to describe you because of the number in your pants, at the end of the day we can all just be equal. >> have you seen that there's a movement for that? you know, what melissa is talking about and what others are talking about. >> very slowly but surely. i've been doing it for 15 years. i have seen a huge change in the industry but there still is a

lack between like very high-end for a curvier woman and that also that middle -- like that middle range of clothing. they just -- they're still not understanding we all are shaped completely different. >> tell us about your collection and tell us where you're going from here and how you'll move the message forward. >> i'm going to take over the world. >> okay, go ahead. >> so what we showcased was the fall and the holiday collection. you can buy them at nordstrom.com or at deschanel.com and five retailers in europe and started at 36dd and go to a g and h cup. we have not forgotten about the big girls and it's very exciting. everything is a little strappy, a little "fifty shades of gray." too many plus sizes are bedazzling the booty way too much and i want to go for klaus and for elegance and also the most important thing, support because these girls need to be high and lifted.

you had a ted talk so you had to continue your message. >> yes, i love public speaking. it's something that i'm really going to take on the road and continue and i think that there's a lot of young women that need to hear the message, hear the message that perfection doesn't exist and that why strive for something that doesn't exist. >> we hear you loud and clear. ashley, come back any time. >> that's our line of the morning, bedazzling the booty. >> need to be high and -- >> we're not talking about this, george. >> next up on our "heat index." that mystery man from wednesday night's gop debate. he was sitting right behind the moderator moderator, caught the internet's attention and quickly dubbed the hot debate guy. here he is right now, gregory caruso, 24 years old. welcome to "gma." >> you're there through the debate and all of a sudden you become a co-star. >> when i looked at my phone, it was on silent then i checked. >> good thing it was on silent

>> you had friends telling you, hey, everyone is talking about you on twitter and everyone was talking about you because look at where you're positioned directly behind jake tapper. how did you score that seat? >> i went to the debate with my father, my brother and sister. and it was just by chance that i took that seat. yeah. >> good chance. >> it was luck? >> fate intervened. >> i understand you've had some -- a lot of offer, some strange, some good. >> yes. >> can you share with us? >> i would say the funniest for me was the $10 bill one because they asked who should be on the $10 bill. so i thought that was crazy. >> i heard people saying or suggesting that you could be the next bachelor. what do you think about that. >> i don't think i'd do that. it's tough enough for me to approach one girl and 25 would be a little overwhelming. >> millions now. >> so what has this meant?

big change in your personal life. >> no, not really. same, same friends and family with me and it's obviously been shocking and exciting at the same time but -- >> we want to tell everybody you're a writer, a director. so aside from this what are you working on. >> a documentary we actually finished today. it's on american made goods for men focuses on makers in the states bringing back manufacturing and it's on a small scale now but -- >> made in america, we like it. >> yeah. >> made in america. >> we'll see. >> oh, you're the guy. how did you keep a straight face when you knew everybody was looking at it? >> i didn't a couple times. i guess they just didn't focus on that. i started cracking up with my sister a couple times. but, yeah, it was a lot of those stern photos. i didn't look too happy. >> you're smiling a lot more.

>> no, it was just really interesting. there's so much going on. >> what was your overall take on the debate? >> i thought it was entertaining. i thought for me carly fiorina really came out as the winner in that. >> you heard it here first from hot debate guy. gregory, the director. thank you very much for being with us and we appreciate it. >> thank you. next up on our "heat index," the duchess of cambridge going back to work. kate returning to her royal duties after giving birth to princess charlotte and sporting a new 'do showing off bangs. our newest correspondent jennifer eccleston joins us from london. good morning and welcome, jennifer. >> thank you, good morning. amy, well, princess kate is back at work and back in the spotlight showing off her bold look during her first solo public engagement since the birth of princess charlotte. new mom princess kate, she's
