Skinny Models Out, Plus-Size In
Whitney Thompson, a size 10, is the first plus-size model to win "America's Next Top Model." [..] The British media don't agree. In April, columnist and former Miss England judge Monica Grenfell lashed out at Marshall in London's Daily Mail, writing, "Who does she think she's kidding? What she's demonstrating isn't bravery but a shocking lack of self-control. Instead of flaunting her figure, Chloe ought to own up to the truth. She is fat, and she got that way by overeating."

I do not think a size 10 is anywhere close to fat. I think if she looks nice and has a nice figure she will beat out a size 1 or 2 in my book any day. There are way too many ladies who think everyone has to be a size 4 or below to be considered beautiful. Again I disagree. but then again that is my opinion.
It's about time that 'bigger' women and I should say average women are given their dues. Just because you are not pencil slim doesn't mean you aren't just as beautiful. FOr too long women have been trying to become so thin that they are borderline anorexic.

if she is ugly and over weight then what was Marylin Monroe! A person needs some body fat to be healthy and size ten pending on build is very healthy. Who what a stick figure to play with? Your her build and 22 then you have an some what a weight problem. My wife and I love it when we see a lady with a figure.
Perhaps a better question is when will the general population stop buying into and try to imitate the dope addict and drunkards we call celebrities and just appreciate their movies and then ignore what they do in their private life. Stop buying the ridiculous cloths at the age of 30 that are meant for 12 year olds. It is the populations adoration and empowerment that cause these models to go to such extremes. We stop giving them the money then they will change.
Who started the trend of you have to be skinny anyway? Have you seen some of the old footage from beauty pageants about 30-40 years ago? The women then would be considered fat now. My take on this is the fashion designers want to portray that their clothes makes women look thin, so they look for sticks to make the effect.
