Plus-Sized Model Challenges Beauty Standards By Starring In Her First Modelling Shoot

i totally agree with u!

You're right. It is good to feel preety, but obesity isn't ony about apperence. It is source of many, many illnes. This size isn't healthy.

That's what I was thinking. Its one thing to be curvy but another to be morbidly obese.

In a way it could be promoting that sort of body image, and in another way it could be helping other big people to feel more comfortable in

I think she is modeling clothes, not healthy or unhealthy. Regardless of health, there are overweight people that need to dress.

Yes, I generally find round women beautiful (like Garcia in Criminal minds), but here? Sorry pretty face, but it's too much, unhealthy even.

"a very pretty face"? could you be any more cliche? Since when is modeling known for promoting health?

Is is cute but i would not go out with her and i believe it is what is on the inside not outside

she also works out 4 days a week

nail on the head

110% agree with you. Well said.

i couldn't agree more.

And what about the skinny anorexic models?is that healthy? !

And this would healthier maybe? http://img2.bdbphotos.com/images/orig/g/a/ga5nuyem6hzxxzm.jpg?kj8as6ye

Can you give me the rundown on her health? Im curious to know. And how is she 'promoting' being unhealthy by posing for glamout shots?

Agreed. Gorgeous face; unhealthy! I struggle w/my weight; even a few extra lbs effects overall well being. Not good; shouldn't be encouraged

And this is healthier? http://img2.bdbphotos.com/images/orig/g/a/ga5nuyem6hzxxzm.jpg?kj8as6ye

I personally couldn't give a hoot what guys or girls like. I would just promote health ...not beauty. It's shallow, commercial b******t!

Scares me too. You don't' have to be anorexic, but don't have o be in a morbid obesity. She has a pretty face but, she is not healthy.

But it's ok to promote anorexic models on the runway as "the perfect body"?

She is being who she is and appreciating that. You assume its her choice to be this body shape? How are you to know any of this?

Thank you. This thread is all about concerns for health and not embracing how beautiful this person is as they are.

You're so narrow minded:p

She makes them uncomfortable.

God Bless you, praying for your healthy. And love your comment. So many cry healthy this and health that. Why don't they be honest.

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder that you have no control over ... Obesity on the other hand is.
