Lizzie Miller. Real Women. Flesh Appeal.
Maybe you've already seen this, but "Glamour" Magazine ran a couple of small photos of 20 year-old Lizzie Miller without clothes in their September issue and it's caused some buzz.
Why?
Because this model weighs 180 lbs, is a size 12-14 and likes her body.
Gasp!
Minimal make-up. No sexy shoes or lingerie. No air-brushing. With the backside, thighs and belly most of the women (including those revered in art through the Ages) who most men are likely to see naked, Lizzie Miller has every reason to smile and be a spokesperson for confidence. Stretch marks and all!
Remember the Dove "Real Beauty" ad campaign? Let's hope our standards for beauty when it comes to advertising and marketing continue to move in the direction of this kind of "modern realism".
What "Glamour" did, although admittedly not on their cover, is in stark contrast to what "Self" magazine did to Kelly Clarkson in their "True To Yourself" issue. Listen to the nonsense coming out of the mouth of their editor.

And the girl in the photo is beautiful!
How is this anything other than a no-brainer for a women's magazine? She's a knock-out. How sad that we must refer to her as "plus-sized." Good grief. I like the idea of a move toward "modern realism" in ad campaigns. And shame on _Self_.
I think there's some strange connection between American's obesity epidemic, which is very real, and our labeling people like Lizzie Miller "plus sized".
Want your head to explode? Read about this drop dead gorgeous model who said "fuck it" and stopping trying to kill herself to weigh under 100 pounds. Talk about HOT! And she's a "plus sized" model now.
