Plus-Size Models Take Charge Video

Michelle Miller takes a look at what might just be the golden age of plus-size modeling.

Tell your friends:

superspastic33: ugh those skinny girls just look sick and breakable

TowardTheFuture41909: She looks fantastic. Skinny chicks are molded by society until they can't be molded anymore.

MariaLuigi07: Yeah, sure. If that girl already is supposed to be a plus-size model, then I don't want to know what a real plus-size model looks like. In my opinion she's a regular size model looking like the average woman on the streets. Fashion industry always cheats on us and this is just another scheme of theirs to distract us from the thousands of way too skinny girls out there, eventually dying of anorexia. Fashion world's a crazy world.

beccahday: it figures that a gay guy says nobody wants to see a round woman. yeah, right. love you karl, but you are sadly mistaken. :) "roundness" is pretty much the primary feature of a sexy, beautiful woman. most people i know agree that round and curvy hips, bottom and breasts are exactly what we want to see on a woman.

Desstrik: Real women have curves & thickness. Bones are for dogs. Full-figured women are sexy... skin and bones are NOT. Crystal Renn is GORGEOUS, especially at her NORMAL larger size.

kitchellmlooster: type NOTORIOUS PRECIOUS into youtube search

bamboozlewatch: "Real women have curves & thickness. Bones are for dogs" Can't we meet somewhere in the middle?

ThatsMrsEmoToYou: thats so stupid. it encourages people to stay big.

TheNilesEdge: Judging from the thumbs down you received, *sigh* apparently not. Then again, most other women are notorious for never being accountable for anything. After all, it's not THEIR fault - it's everyone else's! - Ashley

BinkieMcFartnuggets: These "plus sized" models aren't even that big! Who's modeling the latest moo moos?

Mika20: She looks much healthier being a size 14 than a size 00. Not everyone can look good skinny, and it's never healthy to be that skinny period. I'm happy being a woman with curves. Yes I'm thick, so what? I'm healthy, I feel great, and I too can wear clothes that show how beautiful I can be. Yes there are times where I wanted to just lose a few inches, but not that much!! Just enough to stay the way I am. What's more important? Looks for attention or your health and well-being? You decide.

bowerybaker: i like a girl with huge boobs and a fat ass and hips. im digging big girls.

TinuvielResurrected: I wish there were more comments on this topic such as yours! I completely agree, I'm a woman with curves too, and sometimes I feel like the industry is forcing modern women to be size 0, just because of stupid trends. I don't think that the models in this video are plus sized at all, they look beautiful.

ajzustra: I am glad to hear Calvin Klein selling plus size clothes. I will have to keep an eye out for their talent searches for models. I will so go at it! being a mother of 4 @ size 10 and those stats I am a little under of the so called american average these days. I would LOVE to get back to modeling again. So hard to lose the last 20lbs! I am afraid I have to go for surgery and I am trying not to go that route!

ajzustra: I wish they would do more for plus sizes too. We don't hear it or see it. I am hoping Tyra Banks will do more for the models again with plus size. I use to model myself back before my kids days 12 years ago. I miss it. I wanted a family and I couldn't do that since I married an army man. To hard to balance. Like this model to lose 9in. I was told that too recently and I said whatever and left the interview. Just sucks that some designer's are not seeing plus size beautiful.

L8RG8R84: This is an issue that will never go away. I would love to see bigger women booked for jobs but I doubt it will happen.

ashoftomorrow: if that's what people naturally are, there's NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. if they're healthy then why should they lose weight and risk their health? because it bothers someone like you? that's so stupid. stop being ignorant. people are all different shapes, sizes, colors. get the hell over it.

MrSquitwet: 1.) If you think the skinny bitches are "sexy" you're a fucking faggot. 2.) The cock-pumper towards the end that said "We don't want to see round women" has fucking rotten/missing teeth; they look like candy corns.

MrSquitwet: @ThatsMrsEmoToYou No, it encourages people to stop trying to look like the fucking Ralph Lauren models.

Mika20: It shouldn't be called "plus size" models. It should be called "Real models." As in real women like us who wear outfits that give a clear picture on who we are as a person. (not by our looks) Beauty is more than just looks. It's character. I want an outfit that fits me and shows the world who I am as a person, and how I present myself.

ThatsMrsEmoToYou: how many people do you see trying to look like ralph lauren models? it's disgusting, no one wants to look that skinny unless they're the models, REAL people don't give a shit how those skinny ass models look, we would be proud to see REAL women as models to represent us but its not gonna happen.

YodaLuver93: I think it shouldn't be about how skinny u r. I am slender, I am a size 1. NATURALLY! I eat all the time! But i think they should show more women who are bigger. Some clothes look better on slender pple, some look better on large pple. y can't they focus on finding the right looks for different body types?

TheWilliamcale: these cloth designers should be arrested idealizing anorexic sexless women with the bodies of 12 year olds they encourage anorexia and peodphilia they need to be taken out of society for their crimes

Desstrik: sure. :-)

MrSquitwet: nasty
