People ^

Posted on 02/13/2016 9:26:22 PM PST by TigerClaws

For this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, beauty isn’t measured by pounds or kilograms; it’s defined by Ashley Graham.

The model just made history, becoming the first-ever size-16 body activist model to grace the cover of the magazine. And she almost started her celebration with a wardrobe malfunction.

She looks ok now, but only youth and large amounts of exercise are holding off her transitioning to land whale.

“And now Sports Illustrated is featuring plus sized women.”

Size 16 is not a plus size. I don’t think you count as plus size until you get to size 20 or so.

Years ago I read that women should have “three diamonds” of space between their legs when standing straight with legs together. One between the thighs, one just under the knees and one below the calves. I don’t own a scale, so I occasionally check for the diamonds instead of my weight. Silly holdover habit from high school.

Indeed. Do a search on her and you will see not-so-appealing photos.

don't know her dress size but, Lucy Collett is 5'6" and runs about 190lbs. if you don't think she's hot, turn in yer mancard...

Lucy looks good as long as she's carefully dressed and posed.

Bit of a muffin top, though, and it's going to get worse as she gets older. That's the problem with "plump" women: while they look OK in their 20's, everything starts to sag quickly as they get older.

She looks fine to me also. But then, I’m a 62-year-old, 6’1” woman who now wears size 24W jeans.
