Where's Lardo??


A month ago, we reported on Glamour's efforts to push the boundaries of accepted beauty norms with a photo shoot for its November issue featuring all plus-sized models -- in the buff.

And now, the picture we've all been waiting for: seven plus-size knockouts -- Crystal Renn, Lizzie Miller, Amy Lemons, Ashley Graham, Kate Dillon, Anansa Sims and Jennie Runk -- all showing off what their mamas gave them.

In the article accompanying the photograph (and yes, all the models actually ate the catered food at the shoot!), Glamour writer Genevieve Field discusses the fashion industry's obsession with weight, explaining that any model over a size 6 is often considered plus-size because she's too big for the designer samples that typically run from a size 0-4.
What's wrong with this picture??? hmmm... wait.... by George, I think I've got it!!
 
NOBODY in it is plus sized!!!!! Why is it that PLUS SIZE in the "real" world is a size 16 and up but in the "unreal" world of modeling, it's probably a size 6??? I would be thrilled to look like any of these gorgeous women and would not hesitate to put the smack down on anyone that called me fat!

totally agree! Those ho's are many many cheeseburgers away from being even close to looking like an average American woman.
