Cue the comments from fat chicks everywhere "it's about time they put a real woman on there!" "real woman have curves" "you go girl"
I'm starting a movement for more body conscious GQ models. Hey Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein, stop shaming men!

This world is getting very bizarre. The more laws and regulations being passed aimed at keeping people healthy, the more unhealthy bodies are being praised and propped up.

People thought Ruben's nudes were all the rage.
Although being overweight doesn't necessarily mean you are completely unhealthy, many like to legitimize their belief that a low BMI and thin is better from a health standpoint. What they really mean is that they just like skinny. Purely subjective.
Maybe 100 years from now this girl will be the norm.
No, I'm not into flab-fucking.

Having said that, I am waiting for airlines to add a line item charge to your plane ticket based on your weight. In flying, weight is everything. I'm surprised it hasn't come to this yet, although Fly Derrie-Air.com(doesn't exist anymore) parodied the conc
If they made seats just a bit bigger, accommodating the percentile more towards the top, then the frequency of these incidences would be reduced significantly. Unfortunately, doing so reduces revenue by (x) amount. Removing seats is like removing paying passengers. Not acceptable to the bottom line. The only alternative would be to increase ticket prices, causing a loss in sales to the competition.955876 wrote:Having said that, I am waiting for airlines to add a line item charge to your plane ticket based on your weight.

This is an issue that has actually come up. Not so much in terms of weight but in terms of space consumed.
I buy a ticket and you buy a ticket. We get seated next to each other. You have a "normal" body size but I am huge. My body spills over into your seat and space.
We paid the same for the ticket yet I've got a seat and a half and you only get a half seat.
Should I be required to buy two tickets?

I think my point in all of this was that making generalizations and determinations on ones health based on what they look like is stupid, as well as inaccurate. Sure, anybody who weights 300 lbs and lives off of 32 oz cokes, Starbucks coffee, Boston Chicken, and fast food burgers/ fries is in trouble, but calling those that are on the fringes of societal norms (or "fat/ overweight) unhealthy is patently false. Same with "skinny" people, but generally, nobody seems to care if you are 10 pounds underweight. This is why anorexia doesn't get the airplay excessive weight does - because the context in which we live in is based on "skinny." On the other hand, obesity is running rampant in our society.Kodiak wrote:That girl is carrying more than a few extra pounds. Not obese, but fat or at least overweight.

She is fucking gorgeous.
I realize she might not be your type, but enough with the John Goodman comparisons.
Honestly in my opinion she's one of the hottest models they've had pose for the magazine in years.

Since when has it been about "health and fitness"? It's always been about hotness.
If you don't think Ashley Graham is hot, I don't know what to say for you. If you think she's no hotter than this:
or this
then I really don't know what to say for you.
I'd also wager that each critic in this thread would hop into bed with her in a heartbeat.
