Depends. You up for a calendar of naked Wal-Mart shoppers?

What about a calendar of Walmart shoppers WEARING Depends?

No. And I don't want to buy the swimsuit issue to see normal women.

It turns out that there's another (snort) "plus size" model in the actual swimsuit pages (the other girl is an ad).

And THAT is the sort of crap that annoys me. This girl is 6' tall and a size....12. Because, yes, the fashion industry considers you a plus size if you wear a 12. And are 6' tall.

Gee we used to call that a Full Figure:

The sad thing is about the fashion industry is that I am considered fat and I am a size 4 (well not tall enough either. You have to be at least 5'9" for a female model). Even one of my ex-co-workers who is pretty hot. She is 5'10" and probably 110 and around a size 2/4 is "big" because is not a 0 or less.

1. This was back in 2010. We've come a long ways in "plus size" fashion in the past five years.

2. Fox and ABC didn't want to air it during Dancing with the Stars and American Idol. While I don't condone them picking a VS ad over a Lane Bryant ad for that time slot, it's still a double standard...but it was never a full out BAN.

Apparently "plus size" doesn't mean what I thought it meant.

Where you thinking more along these lines?



BTW, is that a Diet Coke sitting next to her?

Not quite.


When I hear "Plus Size" this is more the image that springs to mind.





The "plus size" model in SI, I would say, falls within the realm of "average size" or maybe even "full figured" - although my head packs more meat on the "full figured" moniker as well.

Diet Beverages and Junk food cancel each other out!

Grups likes that Diesel!

Wide screen format only. There is a definite difference between full figured women and the junk in the trunk buttocks of the big K.
