Causing a stir in body image department!

I thought that all of you could appreciate this. This is where I am. Hahaha  

I can't lie, I'd kill for a body like those mannequins!

I think it's a fantastic idea.

Nope don't like it, I hate fleshy midsections, I paid good money to get rid of mine and don't want to see it on fake womyn either.

there are some really mean comments on there... :/ sad really

I think it's more in line with reality! I, too, would die to have that body as well!!!!! :) We need to change the imagery in this country! 

I worked at a clothing store back in the early 90's that had a size fourteen mannequins.  The owner (who wore a six dripping wet) wanted her ladies to feel comfortable so she had several different size mannequins.  I didn't appreciate it at the time, but I do now.  I would love to look like them.  I am smaller than a 14, but I am not as well proportioned.  Unfortunately it is not the body my mama gave me and nothing short of drastic plastic surgery will change that.  I am tiny on top and have large hips.  Somehow we got it in our head that we need to be a size zero to look good and be healthy.  I was looking at some stats on a cartoon character today.  It said she was 5'8 and 115 pounds.  That is unrealistic for most people and not really healthy.
