Ah, the Nordic body type - small on top, big on the bottom. Or, as Baudelaire put it, "the torso of a boy sunk in the hips of Antiope." Judging from the locker room-type talk I've overheard, lots of guys love to squeeze all that smooshy butt and thigh fat, even though they may call the woman a fat ass when they're talking to other men. The problem is not what others think, her skin looks great now, but by her late 30s, she'll wish she were more toned. Major cottage cheese ahead.
You go Baudelaire, lol...something to be said for politesse.
Yeah she does need to tone up more than anything else and that is just a surface appraisal. It is more healthy than not to do so for her own longevity as a human being. I would say this to a man with stomach fat as well. Give your body less work to do, doesn't require you be a stick. Balance in all things. That little heart given to you by the creative force has to work a lifetime...work with it.
HEY! Nordic women ARE NOT built like that! Whoot?! I'm in Sweden (lived in Norway for 11 years too) and I've NEVER seen a woman here with those treats! Nope. I lived in South-America for 8 years too, and hon' - that's the place to find big butts AND thigh fat!
*sniffs*
...my sisters-in-Viking are SKINNY, and look like boys until they get a baby in the bun and then they fill nicely out.
(have dated A TON of these pretties, I should know)
Darling...now calm down lol! I see you are about to get yourself all ranty again lol! I am sure Tanfouk meant nothing disparaging by it. Just waxing poetic.
I think it's thrilling that it's something other than the typical anorexic but...she's plus size? Is that fashionspeak for a normal person's body? To me she looks like she just had a baby. Legs could be chubby, hard to tell because she's sitting down--hardly flattering for anyone.
LOL ! I love you! LOL! I actually do think she must have recently had a baby, cause he stomach is out of kilter, even if she has more flesh it just seems off. Know what I mean?
I would have never thought that she was a 'plus size'. Looking most of the skinny minnies in the magazines, she looks like a normal woman to me. It must have taken a lot of courage for her to get up and do that. I have little shame when it comes to my body, and even at a size 2 I wouldn't get up there and do that. Definite kudos to her for having the balls to get out there and show herself off in a world that thinks thin is beauty!
More power to her. The human body can be a glorious thing. I believe it is a first though I think Dove (the personal hygiene line not the chocolate brand) kicked the can first with their ads about ageless beauty or some such thing. They found great success with it and the sales of most extensions of the Dove brand went up markedly *Light blub*
All that is ever required to make marketing change its tune is to voice it. Not be bitchy about it, just voice it. No getting up and carrying on. You will be ignored. Just dont buy the products. It is the best vote in the world. But then you get that. Media is a maleable animal. It gives what sells.
Doesnt sell. Immediately loses interest if there is a trend. Same with news. We fuel it. Ratings go up for disasters. By all means bring more news of disasters...sell more products. We don't watch they switch gears.
She doesn't have balls...she has brass ovaries baby lol and she is lovely and apparently doesnt give a rats ass what anyone thinks and that is just ducky!
It probably says something unfavorable about our society (or at least about the clothing industry) that that is what's considered "plus size". She looks like a perfectly normal woman. No wonder girls think they're fat--their baseline is entirely skewed. I know mislabeling things as more than what they are is a standard in marketing (eg, calling a teeny tiny cup of coffee a "Tall"--you can't fool me, Starbucks, you shrank your cup size!), but doing it in clothing seems entirely contrary to purposes...you think they'd want to label their sizes in ways that made women feel flattered. And, you'd think they'd want to choose models that made women feel flattered about themselves
( ... )
Tsk tsk tsk...how dare you be so sensible as to suggest they normalize the sizes according to the population average and possible sell more in the process. Damn right you should be trounced for thinking logically.
Er...She isn't that fat! At least her upper body isn't. I am somewhat like that! Heavy on the lower body. Is that FAT??? That I would say half of the world is overweight!!! LOL!
She is a model as in face and clothing model as such when compared wth tradtional mannequins sizes (0-4) at (12-14) she is larger than the norm for that business.
