Banned-ad model: ABC is big bust
NYPOST ^

Posted on 04/23/2010 7:57:14 AM PDT by jakerobins

This is the face and bod that launched a plus-sized bra-haha.

Brooklyn model Ashley Graham said she was shocked to learn ABC couldn’t handle the beautiful bust she flaunted in a Lane Bryant ad the network said was too hot for TV.

“I was very surprised,” the size-16 stunner told The Post yesterday.

“The first thing I thought of was Victoria’s Secret commercials, and how they’re just as racy, if not more racy, than Lane Bryant.

“[The models are] just a lot smaller than what I am,” said the Nebraska native, a 38D.

“[ABC] can’t handle bigger on TV, bigger boobs on a normal-sized woman on TV.”

Size 16? That is frickin’ HUGE...... That is like 210+ pounds or something.

Oh good lord, it is not. Get a grip.

She's pretty, but needs to lose 30lbs.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Laz would hit it.

“Let’s face it, America is getting bigger, and women want to see themselves instead of the image of what society says they should be,” she said.

She's right....but not like she intended...America is not getting taller and bigger boned like her....she did not seem fat...just a big supple gal

But America...women in particular are getting fat...much more so. Too much time sitting on their asses like we are doing right now on this forum. People can rationalize it all day and night with terms like big boned and whatnot but unless you truly are like this model is then you're fooling yourself.

All these teenaged girls with 5-6 inch muffins hanging out their jeans and boobs spilling out are just fatter...not bigger boned....and truly obese is now an epidemic especially amongst poor whites, latinos and blacks....incredible.

the handwringing over unreasonable thinness and anorexia is part canard...obesity is 1000 times the issue that is. I'm old enough to recall when precious few gals were truly fat..and almost no men were.

folks really stood out if they were fat back in the 60s and 70s

i think the model in this ad is very comely and her face and body and those God given sweater kittens are amazing...the ad is nothing new by today's standards...can't see why they jerked it

My opinion has not changed since the first pic of her on this thread. I’d hit that like a high fast ball.

That depends on height, actually, and it's probably closer to 150-175 for most of us. 210+ and you're getting into the true "plus" sizes.

Okay, considering the kind of commercials that get cleared for prime time and earlier these days, you’ll forgive me if I’m having real difficulty understanding what would be all that wrong with Lane Bryant commercials featuring the lovely Ashley talking very mildly naughty. Badly needed class, in my opinion. What’s the matter, did Seacrest complain?

You can google Madison Plus for a portfolio of Ashley. She is lovely (although I find the fashions a little skimpy for anything other than an evening together “alone”, if you follow.

She is truly a beautiful young woman.

Sweet 16.

Closer to a 14 now, thank you.;) And I don't remember the last time I was a 38D. High school maybe?

“Size 16? That is frickin’ HUGE...... That is like 210+ pounds or something.”

Concur. That’s about 6-8 sizes to big. Mrs. TTR is size 8 with a 38D, and she is hardly skin and bones. (She’d kill if she knew I shared that, but she doesn’t read my posts much.)

(Now the size 2 to 4 models are too damn thin.)
