I woulda thought plus size was bigger than that.

You would think so, but "plus size" in the modeling world means "normal healthy sized girl" to the rest of us.

I believe that if you are willing to post your picture in front of thousands of people - whether you're male/female, and the audience is male/female... You must be ready to accept all feedback - both positive and negative.

The same rules apply to ATOT as Glamour magazine.



Personally, I feel as though she's healthy. She isn't "super model" healthy - which, like it or not, is what sells magazines.



I find it odd that women "don't like" whatever it is in *most* male brains that want a slim and fit female. I mean at one point in time in our past it was desirable to have a rather large female mate. Times change.

Yes, I am sick of it. It's partly saying mediocrity is ok and should even be celebrated. That little pouch of fat hanging over her waist is just simply disgusting, let's not mince words. If women like it and it empowers them, whatever have at it, but it doesn't change the fact that most guys do find a woman more attractive if it looks like she at least knows how to turn a treadmill on.

If you're a chubbier chick and ok with it, great, being hella lean and fit is a lot of effort and all for aesthetics anyway. It's really a bit of a shallow pursuit, to be fair. But if you're going to have a model, let's not have a substandard one. It's like having a car commercial with brake dust on the wheels and maybe a ding in the door. Afterall that's "how the rest of our cars look", isn't it?

"norm of a size 2 portrayed in the media". Nobody thinks size 2 is normal. Don't these people understand what a model is?

As a women, I tend to agree with this. I really wish the media would stop telling me that "real women" are overweight and/or ugly. This as well as the Dove ads with "real women" take women and put them in unflattering clothes and unflattering positions and try to make women feel good by saying "Hey check it out, we made someone in a magazine not look good". It's all fake and it's all to sell products to women who are insecure.

I can look at average looking women on the street, when I open a magazine, I want to see beautiful people wearing beautiful clothes.

I hate being patronized like this.

OMFG! She has sharp elbows...

I think she's got a gorgeous face, and that little bit of belly flab doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I'd hit it all day, every day...

The ultra-skinny models are a turn-off for me. Not enough meat on them bones...I don't want to fuck a broomstick.

Accepting yourself is just another way of admitting defeat, and a sure fire way to put on another 10-20lbs. Staying fit and healthy should be a conscious lifetime decision. If a bit of self contempt causes you to put down that donut and pick up a slice of grapefruit in the morning, then I'd say it was worthwhile.
