How the world sees women...

I saw this and thought that this was a good read for us gals... and gals that have daughters... I am completely floored like this model... and I am glad she is saying something... I loved it when Jamie Lee Curtis showed her before and after shots and how Photoshop has changed the worlds view on things...

Since when is a size 10 PLUS size???

I am serious size 10? I guess double digits makes it plus size? My leg isnt a size 10

In this case my size 12 must be considered a Plus?

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed (to say the least) that a size 10 is considered PLUS SIZE? Seriously - have they ever looked at a REAL woman? One with boobs, butt and curves? Personally I think these fashion designers should just hang their clothes on hangers and parade them around because those girls don't have any more meat on their bones than a hanger.

The other thing that really discourages me about these photo-shopped pictures is that I have a daughter who is beautiful but has very low self-esteem, and she constantly compares herself to the starletts and models in fashion magazines, and has now worked herself down to a size 6 (she tells me, and if she's telling me 6 I know she's down to a 2) - and the same size as her 17 year old daughter now - but its not a size she'll ever be able to maintain. And I have 3 very impressionable granddaughters who also compare themselves constantly to these skinny models.

well that is why i am so happy that she spoke out about this... this affects/effects everyone in a certain way... from the guys that date girls, to reporters, to the girls themselves...

I think that the fashion world themselves need to stop using women that are build like little boys... come on that what they look like... no hips, no boobs to me = boys... and this is part of the reason why I never went to Cooper Union like I wanted to in NYC to study fashion... not going to work with little boys as models...

It's terrible I plan to surround my daughter with amazing women. This is just BS that people see a size 10 as a plus size.

in the article she was orginally a size 12 after she got over her eating issues... a size 12 is plus size... that is what it is in all stores and such...

I read this in People magazine the other day and was pissed. I too am 5'9 and I weigh 146 so we are pretty much the same, that means I am a plus size??? I wear a size 6 so I'm not sure how she fits in a 10 but that made me upset. Am I still considered big????
