Hats off to Glamour Magazine for celebrating real women, as in models with curves. The November issue has a beautiful photo spread with seven plus-size models who bare all. Oh, did I mention they are sizes 10, 12 and 14 as in real women. Yes, you guessed it. Any model that isn't a 0, 2 or 4 is considered a plus-size model. I am especially proud of Glamour magazine, where I worked for six years, when I was launching my print career. I thought it was an honor to be a part of an impressive publication that had the courage to break rules on past taboos with excellent stories & real fashion. Let's hope that women will stand up and support magazines that are trying to reach real women. Let's remember women of all sizes are beautiful.
I appreciate that women with Curves are being showcased in Glamour magazine. It's about time that the fashion industry recognizes that beauty does come in ALL shapes and sizes:-)! What I DON'T appreciate is the fact that they are all NAKED! That's soft porn! They could have showcased beauty of those same women wearing clothes, which is what I thought "fashion" magazines were supposed to be about. This is not suitable for the teenage girls (and adults for that matter) who will read it and see nothing wrong with posing naked for a magazine to show that they have "pride" in themselves. Hmmm...
