    "Plus-sized" model in Glamour


    Lizzie Miller. She's pretty and definitely "Plus-sized" by model standards, but typically I think of "plus-sized" as fat and I wouldn't consider her fat.
    What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

    Wow so a small roll of fat makes one plus size? I must be like square root sized then.

      I think her legs have a little extra cushion too, but she's far from unattractive. What's her dress size? 10?

        I think the article said she was a 12-14.

        From what I read the magazine got an overwhelmingly good response. I wonder if that means that they will be sticking more "plus size" women in their magazine.

          That is a "plus size????" That woman looks thinner than most women I see at Church (although the women at my ward generally do not dress the way she is dressed, so I could be wrong).

          The modeling world is insane. I think the heroin chic look was nasty anyway.

            Yes, they will:

                    She is attractive. She looks like she's had twins, but other than that, she looks good to go.

                    Nuthin' that a little tummy tuck wouldn't take care of.

                      If she is "plus sized" I must be considered obese in the modeling world...

                        Everyone knows what most models look like, right? A normal model looks no where near what a "normal" sized woman looks like. So why does everyone freak out when a "plus size" model looks nothing like the women who buy plus sized clothes?

                          That comment is the very kind of thing that many are so opposed to, a fight that Glamour appears to be taking a lead on. Why does she need a "tummy tuck"? Isn't she beautiful the way she is?

                            She is beautiful. To those who think she may not be a good plus size model, perhaps she models nylons.

                              I believe she's a cover model.
