I'm on the edge of regular and plus sizing. She looks bigger than me.

Maybe I'd have to see her in a different outfit. Most people I can compare to aren't in swimsuits all the time

 

[xxracerxx]

Baby steps indeed.

She's only in an ad.

Haha...good lord.

 

[Zukuu]

At least this time "plus size" actually means that, and not "barely above size 0", like someone tried in another campaign.

 

[terrisus]

who doesn't like a good showing of swimwear?

Do you get excited when you browse Apple catalogues as well? >.>

 

[Wreav]

Dat jiggle that only a plus sized girl can have...my gawd.

 

[Any Questions]

Nice. Nice indeed.

 

[God Dayumm]

I think it's cool that people can like big girls, but sugar coating it doesn't do anyone any favors.

The thing Zoe, is that she barely has a belly. She has fat ass and boobs but a pretty normal belly. Not many women grow like that, it is unusual and most likely photoshopped.

 

[plasmawave]

What the fuck is this?

Is the dude flying away from her? Is he jumping into the pool? Is he orbiting her? I mean wtf? This is so badly Photoshopped.

Sorry, on-topic, I think this is great. I'm glad they're moving in this direction.

To me it looks like the dude is saying "woah, let me check that out!"

 

[Anton Sugar]

She's also got the mother of all MySpace angle heads.

dat jawline

if you mean calvin klein, they never referred to her as plus size to begin with.

no i just go into the store and buy stuff

 

[The Shogun]

Nothing wrong with preferences. She just doesn't seem that big.

Listen I like all body types. Thicker women can be beautiful and sexy as well. I think the lady in the OP is very attractive.

But yes she is larger than what would be typically considered healthy. There is not need to be politically correct about that.

 

[Wreav]

Watch her video...that's her body. She has thick arms, side rolls, and super thick legs/buttocks. Where people put on weight differs from person to person. It's not a shop, it's just the way she is.

Zoe's original point stands.

 

[J-Rod]

Her lack of a belly has more to do with her age.

As well as photoshop, clothing, and position/angle.

 

[G.ZZZ]

I'm conflicted on this. The thin standards of the fashion industry are obviously insane, but this is going on the opposite end of 30+ BMI and still promote bad health standards like before, even if on the opposite end. I'd rather have those "magazines" promotes only normal bodyrange, without the sub 20 and above 30 BMI chicks. On the other hand, it's true that despite the fashion industry pushing thinner standards for ages, the population has got fatter and fatter over time anyway, so it's probably not worth worrying over it and just try to convince people to eat less, lower social stress or whatever...

Also the photo in the OP is photoshopped so bad: her panties disappear and her left leg is like twice her right one and can't attach normally to that waist...

 

[Gastone]

Too fat for my tastes.

 

[smurfx]

looks good to me.

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

that's not a PAWG

It's not?

 

[Stinkles]

She's also got the mother of all MySpace angle heads.

Well you might be surprised when she showed up, but probably not disappointed.

 

[terrisus]

no i just go into the store and buy stuff

So why not do that with swimsuits?

 

[PAULINK]

I approve.

 

[wildfire]

Put down the mag and go outside. Especially in America.

The model is plus size. I know we have been deliberately shifting the goal posts on woman sizes in the last 2 decades but that's our problem, not the world's.

 

[Cream]

A little too fat for my tastes, but she is very pretty.

 

[Data West]

where the plus sized male models at tho

 

[The Shogun]

Also the photo in the OP is photo shopped so bad: her panties disappear and her left leg is like twice her right one and can't attach normally to that waist...

Wow yeah that shot is butchered, just looked at the leg on the right, and her panties indeed totally disappear off the hip, and there's a strange gap there. Lol every single damn photo in these magazines are photoshopped to hell and back

 

[digita1alchemy]

Nice big hips are underrated.

 

[Wreav]

where the plus sized male models at tho

 

[Not]

F'shizz

^^^That is not an attractive man

 

[PhoenixDark]

that's not a PAWG

I'd like to retract my previous post. Another lie from The Man.

 

[justjohn]

Makes a change from the norm I guess.

 

[Ein Bear]

I see the President has equipped his daughter with ballistics too.

Yeah she's pretty hot but I agree. She's what Id actually consider plus size.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Title is a little misleading. She's in an AD, not featured in the actual magazine.

also that plus sized male model reminds me of

 

[spekkeh]

edit-there was a joke here, but I see that's not allowed

Sorry not a fan. Seems like a lot of people do so that validates it I guess.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I like the idea of taking away unrealistic expectations forced fed to young adults, but they are still Photoshopping her like crazy in most of her shoots.

Baby steps?

What do you think GAF?

Am I dense or does she just look "wide". She has no rolls, her belly looks perfect. Her face looks good, boobs, too.
It's weird.

 

[freenudemacusers]

So why not do that with swimsuits?

apple products don't have titties and asses

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

Now we get to pretend to care about overweight models. Yeah, like I've ever aspired to be husky. Photoshop the flab off, and maybe we'll have something good.... oh wait, they are photoshopped. I guess all that extra rendering couldn't be done in time.

 

[Blastoise]

that's not a PAWG

Wow. Did not expect that. My landlords got a better booty.

 

[Cream]

Yeah, in a Photoshopped picture.

I guarantee her boyfriend gets to see all her rolls and cellulite.

Photoshop, how's it work? Watch her video, more rolls than Thanksgiving dinner at Memaw's house.

The point of this is that there are different standards of beauty and what people find beautiful. Beauty isn't limited to a certain size or shape, but that's what most media pushes on us.

No one is forcing you to find her attractive--is it so hard to imagine that, yes, people can find her attractive?

 

[Bollocks]

yep that's a plus size

 

[terrisus]

The model is plus size. I know we have been deliberately shifting the goal posts on woman sizes in the last 2 decades but that's our problem, not the world's.

Spoiler: "Sizes" are not some universal constant - they're arbitrarily defined.
If "sizes" were defined in a way such that a "healthy" body were a -7, this wouldn't be a "Plus size."

Yep I agree with that. There are different standards and some people only prefer women on the thicker side. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Only issue I take is with some of the comments in here acting like this women isn't overweight. She is. She is an actual plus size model. Now whether you enjoy that type of body or not is 100% a personal choice.

 

[terrisus]

[justjohn]

Lol

 

[FireStarter]

She doesn't look big to me at all. Just looks like a normal weight

I'll agree that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
However, there is no doubt that she is big.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

She's not that plus size, she has a thigh gap for goodness sake.

 

[Cream]

...But they aren't.

 

[shiftplusone]

Plus sized model is such a stupid term. How about just normal model?

that's a good thing to do, call everyone who is both bigger and smaller than her not normal.

That will do wonders

Sorry, I was trying to be overly sarcastic. I think she looks just fine, although I prefer blondes.
