She’s about 30-40 pounds shy of what one might consider “hot”. Or at least nice looking.

‘Bout time someone figured out what the rest of us already knew.

Because ads put the viewer into a fantasy world and encourages them to buy what they want to be. Yes, most of the time it is silly but sometimes it is ok. This article is crazy to me. Of course skinny models sell.

That makes me wonder, what were the years of the supermodels’ heyday? Cindy Crawford, and the “trinity” of Evangelista, Turlington, and Campell, oh, and Claudia Schiffer. Those women were Amazonian, and they were the only true “supermodels”, I wondered if there some correlation between which party was in power, and their reign. I don’t remember what “their” years were though.

Lean with curves is great!
The reason thin doesn't sell is most Americans, male and female are grossly overweight and have been for a couple of decades.
Trim and in shape isn't in....

I’m not a guy, but as woman, I wouldn’t want that rear. I call it a “shelf” rear, and it looks destroys the line of clothes, IMO. I liked the shape of Fifties’ models, shapely but streamlined.

Too bad more women are like Oklahoma girls, beautiful and have their heads on right politically.

Shes not skinny. Shes lean with curves Oh yeah right. Like fat women are just "big-boned," right. Olive Oyl has more meat than that broad in the picture.

I think these photos exaggerate it a little bit. But point taken.
