I know how you feel! When I was working at the bank, I was one of 2 alternatives in the whole building! So I went out of my way to be different. Now I'm not advocating that you go for patent leather stilletoes, more velvet than you can shake a stick at and very red lippy, just do whatever is best for you.
With regards to their diet fascism, keep telling yourself that you are fabulous, and believe it. The fact is Squark is very threatened by you, you don't feel the need to conform to to the 'current' female idea of beauty, you don't read trashy magazines, you don't wear 'current' clothing, you don't listen to 'current' music. And you don't care!
You are apart, totally, and that is very scary for her. She would kill to feel as confident to be an individual as you do, but she doesn't know it, so feels the need to make you feel inferior, because then it demonstrates that she is 'right' and 'good' and you are 'wrong'.
Just keep being you, take a deep breath, hold your head up and remember that you have friends and a partner who loves you because of who you are and not what you wear.
And who would want to look like an Elizabethan peasent anyway :)
