'Plus Size' Models Causes Walk Out

I put 'plus size' in brackets since I think size 12 isn't plus size, but normal.

Well done on him, but I think it's sad that plus sized is considered a 12.

Great article. It just goes to show that some people still think that big women can't be successfull. My favorite example of this is Jesscia Hynes, co-writer of spaced.

Simon Peg flipped shit when the Spaced box set was advertised as being writted by him, and didn't aknowledge her. Hynes has a speech about how she was never made to feel like shit until she was at a party with a bunch of successful television and movie people, and everyone ignored her. She just got up and basically said "Guess what? I'm fat and successful!" or whatever.

That's awesome. Also, I've never heard anyone else mention flipping shit besides one other person I know.

I have three friends that I'm closest to, and I can't remember I got that from the one from New Jersey or the one from Dublin haha

Probably Dublin because the person I know who says it got it from his stepmother, and she's from Scotland. Maybe it's an Irish/Scot thing.

Those celts have a great vocabulary of swear words. It was deffinitely living with Patrick that pefected my shit-talking.

An extremely important skill to have.

A size 12 is definitely plus sized.

Yeah, those chicks just don't do it for me at all.

I've worn a twelve pant in Dickie's before, and I'm not plus sized.

In our store plus size is above sixteen, and I think Addition Elle which is a plus size store starts at 14, so it seems subjective.

Bettie Paige was about a modern size 10... she does a lot for me ;)

I love Crystal Renn. http://images.fashionmodeldirectory....n-fullsize.jpg

That's revolting.

Why?

Dude.
She might be pretty, but she is still overweight.

Aren't you into trannies?

She only looks okay in that picture because she's arched her back in such a way as to reduce the apparent size of her gut.

She looks a bit out of proportion, specifically her boobs look small for her frame.

Crystal Renn was the model who used to be anorexic, right? If I remember correctly she has a pretty healthy weight now, good for her. That picture kinda reminds me of a painting of Eve I have in a mythology book I own o.O

Honestly I gag a bit when I see models who are emaciated.

As do I but I still like slender and/or athletic women, I don't like visible bones but I'm equally put off by a visible gut. I suppose I'm picky but that is just how I am.

Size twelve is indeed plus sized.
I just wonder why the fuck they have to go with one or the other. It's either size zero or size twelve.
Why not some size five or six? There you go, a model that's thin enough to model clothes and not be anorexic.

Not many people have a flat stomach, I'm underweight and still have a bit of a belly, it just seems healthy to me and not a disease symptom. I'm picky with girls when I'm checking them out but I have different standards for people I think are beautiful and people I think are beautiful and I'm sexually attracted to.

Its really nice when you're looking at clothes to see it modelled on someone your size. So I think really there should be a range, certain clothes look great on someone plus size and certain clothes look great on size zeros, and others look great on us in between. To be fair in this show he did use skinny models as well, too. While I get that models should be easy on the eyes so the clothes they are wearing look more appealing I don't get why they should be pressured into a narrow range of sizes that could be completely unhealthy for them and make them look worse.

There is a difference between having a normal stomach and a gut. As I said I have rather high standards and a good bit of that is most likely because I do have a flat stomach and I know what little effort it takes to have a toned stomach (toned doesn't necessarily mean flat), a model's job is to look good so they should be toned.

She's still hotter than Underwear.

Was there a second sentence you forgot to add?

Personally I found the curvaceous model in the black dress leading the end-of-show procession to be much more appealing than the emaciated creature directly behind her. The lead model appears more healthy, vibrant, and confident. The second model in line seems as though she's contracted a wasting illness and would shatter with the slightest breeze.

Bravo to the designer for choosing to include some non-waifish women in his show!

Wellllll I think she's beautiful. I also think real skinny girls are unattractive. I think women look better with big hips and boobies and stuff.

No. Underwear is Underwater Ophelia's nickname.

No, I mean she said she might be pretty, and then you said "she's still prettier than you."

I took that to be a backhanded way of saying the girl isn't attractive, as in:

"She's pretty, but she's fat, so she's not attractive"

Maybe I was mistaken, though still, I was stating a fact: she is prettier than Ophelia, with or without the extra baggage.

But I'm not into fat ones.

picking on someone else.is that one of your favourite hobbies Alan?
what someone should say ,should not have said or if they forgot to write something or you not have wrote it in the first place.

Personally I don't like dating really skinny chicks, it just doesn't do anything for me.

What the hell are you guys saying she's fat?

Uh.... yeah.

I wouldn't consider her to actually be FAT, I'd say she's a big woman, but unless that pic is super misleading...yeah. Not what I would consider fat.

I'm the same way. What can I say, I like big butts. But that's kind of a cultural thing I think.

I remember being with my friends Nicola and Vesna, and Vesna's mom was straight off the boat Serbian Catholic. Vesna was really lean and tall, I was somewhere in the middle, and Nicci was about a size 12/14, and every once and a while Vesna's mom would be like "YOU need to EAT!! EAT!! YOu need to get fat like Nicola so you can find a husband!!"

The thing was that I always saw both of them as beautiful, but I'm way more likely to notice proportion than weight... I mean, before like really unhealthy wieght. It's not like these girls are wearing like size 22 on the runway.

Google her, she has a picture where you can visibly see rolls. Shit is not cash.

On a related note, I also found this story on the Daily Mail website. It is most interesting how the judges on the show felt that the grotesquely underweight contestant possessed a "sensational" body, while the voting public favored the lovely fuller-figured model.

that look somehow familiar.
nice work.
you deserve a cookie zerademark.

Are you fucking shitting me? I don't find fat people attractive and this chick is a fucking model; am I meant to feel bad for being superficial about a woman whose job is making people think she's hot?

You probably right there zerademark ,it would have not work as well.
i like this version.

Being a model means illusioning people that you are attractive. Same goes for skinny and fat people.

No Zera, it's about actually being attractive.
Like Dita Von Teese says, their body is their job, so they should do their best to make it as good as they can.

I actually agree with all of you to an extent; there should be some kind of middle ground. While I found that model to be attractive, I can also see that she's overweight... I just think that being "as good as it can" shouldn't mean anorexic; it should literally be as healthy as it can.

There's no reason she can't have a healthier diet and exercise more rigorously if she's going to be a model.

But as I mentioned before, this mentality carries over and effects the lives of women who don't want to be models. For example, why should Jessica Hynes be overlooked because of her appearance, where there are plenty of overweight male commedians?

True or not, we aren't talking about pretty girls, we're talking about fat girls.

Considering what I've seen of your pictures I wouldn't exactly call you "thin" Underwear.
