Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
I don't know what to think. She definitely isn't model thin, but I think she's attractive, very pretty actually! Sure she could lose a few and tone up, but I always think of plus-sized as much larger than this woman.
Notice the positions are not very flattering? They seem to have positioned her in order to emphasize her problem areas! I have to wonder if she would look even moderately plus-sized while standing. Hell if I sit in the position she is in the first one, my thighs don't exactly look thin (and I'm pretty small)!! And leaning forward in the second one with her shoulders hunched, well that position could create a pooch for many, many of us.
It really just saddens me that we are such a judgemental culture that these pictures caused any kind of stir at all!
Opinions??
*BTW I saw the full version of the 2nd one and she has no roll going around her side, I think that is the side string of a dark thong she was wearing in another shot.*

Re: Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
No. That looks about right for a plus sized model.
Honestly... depending on your body type... there's a very small gap between normal modelling and plus sized. I used to dabble a bit... and for me it's about a fifteen pound difference.

Re: Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
She looks great but it is all relative. With so many people 50-100lbs over weight nobody my age would complain about her; she is hot. But I suppose if you are 20 something and comparing it against the most buff/toned (or even 30s) there are people who are more buff/toned.
It is just strange because honestly I think we were less picky when I grew up. Even in California we weren't as obsessed as people are today with their weight. OTOH there weren't the extremes either. If you were morbidly obese people said something. They were not kind about it. Not to many people let themselves become so heavy because society was not kind. Today people don't say it but they think it. I am not sure which is worse. But OTOH when I grew up you didn't have to work out like a fiend to be thought of as HOT either. Just basically human shaped. Curvy was fine, hot even.

Plus size in the modeling world is over size 6. She's about a 12-14.
I think it's because the average woman nowadays is overweight, we tend to think of plus-size as bigger.

Yeah. I would add that the average American woman is overweight. It's not quite that way in most other countries. I would also point out that fashion models are much thinner than most women who are NOT overweight, so it follows that a plus size model would be smaller than her average plus size counterparts ;)

Re: Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
The angles confuse me so much.. Its like theyre purposely trying to get unflattering angles? Im skinny and my tummy doesnt look good from those sort of positions!

I know, my tummy doesn't quiet do that, but it certainly doesn't look perfectly flat in that position!! My legs are really toned, but my thighs look pretty damn thick if I sit like she is in that first position! It's sorta bizarre. :shrug:

Re: Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
i dont think that she is anywhere close to a size 14. i mean, my mother wears a size 14 and her body is nowhere near as small as this girl's. but yeah she's not like a size 2 so i could see how she could be considered plus sized. the angles are extremely unflattering, the roll looks to be mostly skin as opposed to flab, and in the first picture im pretty sure that her collarbones show, so she's definately not over weight or what i would picture when i hear the term plus-sized. but se is fuller than the average model.

I agree. Those were purposefully taken to be unflattering.

How much doies this great looking gal charge for a lap dance?
I need to inspect her closer.

Re: Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
I'm a little smaller than that girl but I'm still considered plus sized. I used to think I was fat but now looking at these pics and how good she looks, gives me new perspective.

Re: Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
I'm a 'regular' model (UK size 6-8 ) and there is no way you would get me to sit in that second position! It wouldn't do ANYONE any favours!
-
Re: Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
^^Yep, I'm pretty small and try to stay in shape, but if I'm sittin for some nude photos, you better believe I'll be leaning back a tiny bit with my back arched....flattening my tummy and making my boobs look perkier. hehe Leaning forward just gives you a pooch and the illusion of sag! WTF?!?!

Re: Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
Yes, the one picture especially is a contrived attempt to deliberately play up her awkward pose so she looks 'normal', normal being slightly overweight probably. I don't find her to be in the least bit attractive, except maybe her face is sort of pretty--but she's certainly not ugly either.
Fashion magazines can be so stupid sometimes.

Whoops! I meant average AMERICAN woman, sorry!

She's a perfectly normal sized women who could use some muscle tone. Actually, I often find the plus sized models more attractive then the concentration victims that pass for fashion models, but that's me. :O

Re: Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
She might just be a little older. I know size 2 women in their 40's that look similar. Unfortunately, age is not kind to the body.

Re: Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
I'm an American size 6 and it baffles me that some people consider me fat.
The first picture actually looks just like my body, but I think my hips and thighs are smaller...not that I think hers are fat in the slightest.

I don't consider a size 6 fat in the least, but here's the problem: people continue to interchange size = fat. People can be a size 2 and fat. How? They carry a high % of their bodyweight as fat. There are many very thin women with high bofyfat levels (above 25%). We call them "skinny fat" as they may fit into small sizes, yet are clinically fat. At the same time, a size 6, or 8 or above, may have lower bodyfat levels then the size 2 "skinny fat" person. Thus, it's about actual bodyfat %, not dress sizes. ;)

This is sooo true!! and fat looks bad, no matter how "skinny" you are. I think lots of porn chicks with zero muscle tone are nasty even though they are size 2 or such, same size with some tone is HOT though... Few sizes bigger with some tone is HOT. I'd rather see someone who is toned with 5 extra lbs though than someone who is flabby but of "ideal" weight.
One example, my thighs are the same size as they were right after I had my youngest son...I wear the same jeans that fit snug, but not tight, but DAMN some pics of me in a bikini 3 weeks after giving birth are fuckin SCARY! ;D (If I ever get the nerve I'll post the pics, then and now and let everyone see the dif. haha)

Agreed! Give me a gal a few lbs over the "norm" with firm hips, butt, legs, etc then any size 2 with no muscle tone. ;)

Re: Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
MM went on the pill a few months ago. Gained almost 20 lbs in just over a month. I've always been into skinny girls ('cuz I'm skinny), not picky and I have a wide range of taste, but always went for "petite" girls. Anyway, she started getting worried when the weight started coming on.
OMG - she is SOOOO much hotter now!!! And everyone comments on it, lol. She's been gone from the club for a while and started again last week. The manager looked at her and said "have you gained weight?" She was like, "Oh shit, here it comes, lose some weight before we put you back on schedule..." (which is funny she thought this, 'cuz there are some VERY thick girls there, but I digress) so she says "yeah, I put on 15 or 20..." and he says "DAMN - no offense, you weren't ugly or anything before, but DAMN - you're like, hot as hell!" LOL.
That model is lovely. The positions are terrible. She may be a larger size - we don't know how tall she is. "plus size" is funny, because you can be rail thin but if you're 6'2" as a woman your a larger size. :shrug:

I don't think the second is "bad." She's got a tummy, but she's still a good lookin' women. She'd be better looking no doubt with some muscle tone and less tummy, but she's attractive regardless, at least to my eyes. 8)

Re: Reaction to nearly nude photos....Is this really PLUS SIZED??
^Good point. I guess I meant #1 doesn't look bad to me in comparison to other mainstream stuff... #2 definitely seems to have been taken to contrast against the norms.
