 Shake your Booty if you got one!
 I don't know where to start this rant, my mind is going in so many places at once. What touched this off was a news blurp on AOL about Glamor Magazine's new issue featuring semi naked Plus Size Models,and how good they look! Duh!
  It has only taken the fashion industry 50 yrs. to find out what any American, red blooded,straight male in this country found attractive! Please check out this link which shows what they call "Plus Size Models" and come back here.

Are you kidding me? These are Plus Sizes?
Since the '50's and the '60's the fashion industry was left to gay designers, sadly mostly males, who thought every model should look like 14 yr. old boy. I guess it's easier to design fashions in straight lines, then something with a few seductive curves.
We males scoffed at this but did nothing at the time. Meanwhile women who so wanted to be up with the trends, applauded this garbage,and the result was Twiggy and Barbie.
Take no offence those blessed with being naturally thin. There is nothing wrong with that. Every man has different tastes in women, and you look sooo good to those that like slim.
But what guy would prefer driving all day on the Interstate Hwy. thru the midwest and seeing nothing rather than enjoying a lush winding country road with someting new to see around the next curve? Not many. Curves is what's it all about!
One last thing; how many women are really a true plus size because there was no way they were going to be a Barbie and gave up?They gave up exercise and sensible eating and said " I don't care!" when they really do.
There should be no standard. Especially one that is leading teens to harming their health that they will pay for later in life,after they've matured.
Damn it! Fashion industry and models(?) wake up!! This is sick!
Be yourself ! Be happy! Eat right! Exercise!
And for GOD'S sake- throw out those dumb Barbies!

P.S. Anyone looking to be an entrepreneur, just design a doll that resembles a normal, healthy young lady that G.I. Joe would love to come home to and wrap his arms around. Ken was gay!

Amen!!

Being a 'giant' in a dwarf family was not easy ~ being a giant in the World....far harder.

Oh and Rubens who made rubenesque famously ok....Oh My Goddesses ~ I wished I had known him!!

I'm married to a normal-sized woman myself, and I love her curves. Amen, brother. Ken was worse than gay: he was her brother.

Did you know that "plus" sizes start at size 12? The average size of American women is a size 14. You do the math...there are a lot of women walking around thinking they are just a mess....thanks for trying to put perspective on it for us. :-)

I don't know how American measurements work.Here in Australia the average woman is probably a 12 to 14. Om the catwalks the models average about a size 6 to 8! Total stick insects! Otherwise known as coat hangers!! A lot of young girls starve themselves to get down to these ridiculous small sizes. There is actually a move afoot here to get "normal" women on the catwalks. I hope it wins out.Give me a "real" woman any day! Hey above size 14 is OK too!

I wonder if the U.S. 14 is more like our 10?? I don't know. All I know is that the models here look aweful!

Rupert ~ your size 6 to 8 is a size 0 to 2 in the US....at least as far as the designers who design are concerned.

Amen, yes rupert is right the average Australian women is a size 12 to 14, and I think it is a larger sizing than in the USA. My weight goes from a size 10 to 14 depending on things that are happening at the time. Much prefer a size 12, I cannot understand the mentality of thinking that skinny is beautiful. :-)

And is GI Joe the silhouette of the average male, in the USA or anywhere?
On the subject of curves. I rode bikes for over 30 years and will get another soon. So the more dangerous those curves the more excited I get, if you follow my drift. Straight lines get dull pretty quickly. Thank the gods for women with personalities that bite!
Yours in hope and lust eternal.

THANK YOU for saying that. I love what we call progress.... I hover between sizes 14 and 16 and have for most of my life...My grandmother was the same size as I am and in her day women of her build were godesses. Body image is a never ending battle we fight. When what is really important is eating well and keeping active...Thank you for supporting what's normal.
