Size 12 Sports Illustrated Model

[vesper]

Honestly I think she looks size 10 not 12 in this photo, but it is nice to see. What a babe.



Even at size 12 (in this pic), who wouldn't go wild over her? Hubba Hubba Hubba!!

[TaraF]

She's gorgeous, and I'm rather offended (as a woman) that she is considered "plus size". She's curvy, absolutely, but plus sized? Pfft. Whatever. If that's plus size, sign me up!!

[vesper]

I know it makes no sense why they call that plus size.

Hubba Hubba Hubba!

I am happy, that, people are starting to show how a woman should look, and, this is how normal, beautiful women all over the world look. The average women in north America is a size 12, so, having women who are like a size 0-5 is crazy!

I'll cheer when they put a real plus-sized woman on there - hmmm... at least a size 20.

She looks beautiful to me

Much nicer than these 'cocaine-chic' models...I bet Vesper would rather not have to snuggle up with these bone racks!
...as if anyone in the world would look at those clothes and say, "Hey! I'd look good in that!" Just plain ugly and very, very sad...

Sorry, Vesper, I don't mean to hijack your thread, but I think this is interesting....advertising regulators telling Urban Outfitters to pull an ad because the model was too thin! I'm shocked that this can actually happen! Pleased and shocked!!

Lynn, are those recent models? I thought they had gotten past that, and were at least going for a more healthy look.

BTW, speaking of hijacking (love ya, vesper!)

Valentino did a recent fashion show, many Slavic inspired designs - live show here - oh, some of them are just amazing!

Unfortunately, apparently some of the commentary only called them Russian, so there was a rebuttal here

So we're finally fashionable? russian indeed! Why if I had an atomic bomb and knew where pukin lived!!!! I think he's going senile, I really do......

Hon, no, not out of vogue at all. Amof, recently on the blog here, or a link I followed, there were models who were no more than hangers for the clothes they had draped on them, and omg, the looks on their faces!!! Like a burger walked by and they knew they couldn't have it! I tried to find the link, but couldn't....so nope, not over at all, unfortunately.

Vesper...you know we loves ya!!

It's still all a lie. Proof no one wants to see a post 2-children baby belly. Proof all those celebrities who get their pre-baby body back in shape in 6 weeks are getting lipo.

[Natalka]

^ the lie was that the photo wasn't real either. Photographer said it was faked

Will piggyback this on this thread because it relates to the discussion

Lane Bryant's #ImNoAngel Campaign Shows What 'Sexy' Really Looks Like

The plus-size brand launched its #ImNoAngel advertisements on Monday, featuring models Ashley Graham, Marquita Pring, Candice Huffine and more. The women, styled in Lane Bryant's exclusive bra collection Cacique, define "sexy" in numerous ways during the ad. They're also using social media to further challenge conventional beauty standards.
