Size 16 - Largest model ever in SI swimsuit issue

[Swordsmyth]

The market will punish this false glorification of non-beauty.

Not my cup of tea either. For me, I like my women like I like my toast. Hot and consumable with butter

I like mine like I like my coffee. Strong, black and bitter.

I think 16 is bigger than it used to be. I swear I would have guessed that a 20.

Yes , she is a pretty girl , but when I was younger I dated some girls that would probably wear then what was considered 10 , 12 or 14 and they were not close to that 16 .

Yeah, I would've guessed bigger too but she's still really pretty.

I just don't get the public pressure. It's like having a magazine filled with beautiful pictures of Ferraris, Porsches and Maseratis being pressured to show pictures of minivans because that's a more realistic depiction of what most people drive. Seems silly. I mean, they have already minivan magazines that almost nobody buys.

Illustration fails. People are not cars. People are beautiful in many ways.

At about 5'6" and 92 pounds I was below a size 0 in high school. I think the industry has gone to self-esteem sizing, so a gal can be 5'2" and 120 and wear a 0. No offense to anyone.

I think it is done on purpose to keep men from picking out clothes for women.

They have no logic to the sizes. Vague numbers that vary from maker and type of article.

I think it is a Plot to deliberately confuse men. (one of many)

Really? You mean to tell me model cars and model people are different?? Wow - I never considered that.


Seriously, magazines know what kind of pictures attract the most buyers. It's about what the most buyers will find VISUALLY appealing. There's nothing wrong with that.

Sizing changes fairly regularly and differs greatly among brands. I have everything from 10's and 12's(vintage) to 2's (high end designer) and they all fit properly.

I love a summer sun dress on a woman.

She'd look gorgeous in something like that.

Ha ha; it was only a matter of time before lower American, fat slob standards met SJWs/feminists in the modeling world. The SJWs are now eliminating their mate competition.

Deboning the American man. It's not just for farm chickens any more.

She might be fat but she's not a slob.

 

[Anti Globalist]

She's certainly my type of woman.
