batskeetsI want you to do something for me.
Look at this photo.
And ask yourself: Does she look like a hot chick to you? Does she look like a normal woman? Do you think she's fat at all?
And, with your answers to the above in mind, I'd like you to read what follows:
That girl was a PLUS-SIZE model.
(Yes, you read that right.)
Think about it: when you think "Plus Size" what do you think of? You might think of, say, an obese relative, or a size 24 lady that you might have seen on the street, or one of those guys who gets so fat that he gets stuck in a hallway of his house.
You certainly wouldn't think of a girl that looks like the one in that photo.
I know I probably beat this over the head on a regular basis, but damnit, that's a PERFECTLY NORMAL WOMAN. If there's anything obese, overweight, or "plus" about her, I'll eat my hat.
If this whole fad of calling skeletal, undefed women "beautiful" ever burns out, I think we'll all be a *lot* better off.

THAT'S a... WHAT!?!
THAT'S supposed to be a PLUS model!? What the hell is wrong with these people! She's a wonderfully proportioned woman! She's voloptuous, MAYBE, but a PLUS!? Never!
For crying out loud, what kind of society is this where a woman/girl can be a "plus" size if she looks like she actually has room for working organs? The whole Twiggy starve/look-alike thing should have long blown over by now... Take me back to the 30-50's where a curvy dame was in demand! Curvaceous chests, birthin' hips and rounded legs for all, I say!
This is much akin to my pissyness with pants... upon examination of a pair of pants, an "average" size leg fits a girl who is six feet tall with a 0 waist. How many six feet tall juniors do YOU see running around? Exactly. And size 0!? THE HELL--!?
Oh, God, don't let me get started... *rants into the night*
