I wanna see them overhaul their entire way of thinking and permanently change their whole magazine - not focus in on one one off publicity grab and act like they've changed the way the fashion industry works. This is nothing, it's not a start, it's not particularly inspirational, it just reeks of attention seeking and misleading advertising ("look how accepting we are! An icky normal woman! Now read up on our 500 weight loss tips and tricks and drool over the clothes on our pretty thin models!") Who cares if they put one “normal” model on one page of one magazine?

Plus sized is not a woman who's dress size is in the teens (certainly not a size 14; that's average). Plus size is a dress size in the twenties and above; or 1x, 2x, 3x. Women of that size are plus-sized; they're the beautiful, truly curvy and fantastic actual-sized women.

After all, its average people who wear those clothes. I'd like to see the stuff I wear modeled on someone who's body type looks more attainable than 5'9 and size 00. And outside of feminism, isn't that a better marketing technique? I’ve always wondered why “normal” women can’t model clothes. After all, its average people who wear those clothes.
