Disturbing pictures! I hope the gaunt girls are photoshop’d; they look surreal. Also, the lady with a hooch may have “baby fat” from giving birth.
Anyhow, it’s in our genetic makeup as men to be wanton of women with robust body parts because of good breeding potential. My friends always thought it was funny that I have an uncanny attraction to preggers. Peculiar, women whom I had no previous interests suddenly possessed my fullest attention. I rationalize it to pheromones during pregnancy and to profound wellness of the expectant mother’s womanly proportions, i.e. large hips and enlarged breasts.
I am not saying that I am impervious to the compounded physical ideals of our recent society. But I’ve grown to know what and who I like. A beautiful women is candid as a sunset pass the ocean’s horizon, the panoramic immensity of the Grand Canyon, and the misting waters falling from Angel Falls.
Show me a woman bent by life’s impartial cruelty and pained by parted loved ones and you have found the general direction to my heart.

I hope that’s not what women wish they looked like because those two ladies above are way too skinny it just looks unhealthy and unattractive. Those pics kinda look shoped though.

No matter what the industry tries to say, chicks will always want to be skinny and guys will always wish they were bigger. I being one of those guys, but i’m not depressed about it or anything like that.

You consider yourself “plus sized”? Because i don’t see it.

Throw a high fashion model and an underwear model in front of a guy and chances are he’ll go for the underwear model.

The models in the two photos above are nothing more than living clothes hangers, their shape is dictated by the cut and fall of the clothing and you have to question if the designers are male how much they *hate* women to have decided that’s their optimum shape.

Tall and thin is one thing, tall and ill looking is an abomination.

Body image is such a difficult topic to discuss rationally. It is is one of those topics where 99 percent of the opinions expressed can be completely over ruled and out gunned by a single, lonely one percent. It doesn’t matter how many people tell us how attractive we are, how great our physique is, how beautiful or how handsome we are or how young we look, if only one person says it looks like our pants are a little tighter or worse, the well that our carefully crafted self image is drawn from suddenly seems to dry up and our self confidence is shaken to its roots. This sudden doubt can lead us wrongly to suddenly go on a diet, or step up the work outs, or worse even eat more.

I have tried to steel myself against this very thing. The simple fact is, that while I am definitely carrying around more weight than I should be, I don’t really give a simple shit if anyone else thinks I am fat, over weight, out of shape, blah blah blah. In fact, when my heftiness becomes a topic for conversation (and I am surprised how frequent that is), I mention that I diligently work hard to stay in shape and point out how much easier it is to stay in shape since the shape I picked is round.

The first girl pictured above is Lizzie Miller, and I remember when the picture first hit the news. There was a firestorm of publicity even though the original photo was tiny and buried around page 200 of the magazine.
Here is a link to a great article about the topic http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1210814/Lizzie-Millers-Glamour-magazine-shoot-How-models-picture-shook-world-flabby-tummy-all.html.

I don’t think too much will change in the near future though, or ever, as long as the Barbie Doll that we give our little girls to play with continues to imprint them with an unrealistic, unachievable corset bound image of what is beautiful. Though, since Barbie is now totally stylin’ some ink ( http://tattoosnob.com/2009/12/27/totally-stylin-tattoo-barbie ) maybe I’m wrong and the future is closer than I think.

In any case: Julene, I ,for one, am eternally grateful for the hips/ass/thigh phenomenon that hit you at puberty, and I seriously doubt that I am in the one percent on this: You need no alterations, photo shop or otherwise.

i think miami is a world of its own because i dont think ANY girls out here are trying to look like that. thick thighs, a big ol’ butt and a pretty face are prevalent in these parts, and you have many a happy camper over here. i think theres something in the water.

bribery and blackmail. a slippery slope if ever there was one.

Those photos are indeed very Photoshopped – I probably should’ve mentioned that at some point in my entry. Extreme photos to go along with my point.

I wouldn’t say I’m “plus sized” by the average American standard… but I wear a size 8 and have 37″ hips (last I measured). I mean, my ribs are bigger than skinny girl hips. I’m just sick of being told to feel like I love my body by the same people that have spent the past several decades finding every way conceivable to make women hate themselves for profit.

But thank you. :]

To clarify, those two models are VERY photoshopped. Personally I was thinking Dachau was the only diet left to try for those types of results.

Please tell me they’re all like that photo of the insanely hot girl I posted on Tumblr. If so, I’m fucking relocating.

They’d have to be photoshopped, models tend to look like they’re suffering a case of lollypop head as it is but that takes it to extremes.

And there’s no woman who looks the way they do in those magazines. Kate Winslet said a while back she did a shoot for somw upmarket rag and when it hit the newstand she wanted to know “Who the fu*k was in those photos?” as it didn’t look like her.

Maybe they should just have Pixar whip up something they can dress instead.
