It’s astounding that a size 12 is a “plus-size model.” She looks magnificent.

I don’t get it. She doesn’t look any different than any actress you might see for most of film history.
To: Tax-chick
Agreed, on both counts. The “after” version of her is what we would have once called “normal”.
To: nickcarraway
I think the pose and hairstyle were suggested by a Jane Russell photo.

Somewhat off-topic, sizes don’t mean much. I was looking through skirt patterns in my “get to it someday ...” box, and found one from the 1970s. (An older person gave it to me.) It said that to wear a size 10 in that pattern, I should have a 25” waist. I guess I can measure my 11-year-old and see if she can use it, because I doubt I’ll ever have a 25” waist again, after 9 kids, no matter what I weigh!

9 kids! Wow, Tax-chick, just wow!
To: Tax-chick
I think you’re right. Jane Russell, Sophia Loren, and Briggite Bardot, in there respective decades, were all probably more known for their looks, than their acting. But, to me, they don’t seem any thinner than this woman. We are so far out-of-whack today from the 40s, 50s, 60s?
To: Tax-chick
No doubt sizes have changed. There were no zeros back then, so when my jeans say size three i automatically assume its a least really a size 5. You are right about the old patterns but maybe that was a misses size. I used to wear a 4 in misses, but since they have changed the sizes, who knows?

In the before picture, she kind of reminds me of Ali McGraw.

"9 kids! Wow, Tax-chick, just wow!"And looking like that I bet her husband is working on a plan for double figures

Before is concentration camp. After is fantastic. However, she is no real-world “plus size” in the after pic. Not even close.

One word: metrosexual. (heh)Oh, I see. Preferring thin women is somehow wrong and should be denigrated. Gotcha!
