Lizzie Miller, a UK size 12 model appeared on US edition of Glamour in August.
The magazine received a really positive reaction from people but some journalists weren't convinced about a possible general trend.
Do you think women want to see these kind of images on glossy magazines? Do you (as a woman) want to see them?
Es de agradecer que se presente la belleza en la mujer como algo natural y, sobre todo, como algo real lejos de lo hasta ahora concebido como "perfecto".
ReplyDeleteNo tenemos que ver la perfeccion de la mujer en su cuerpo si no en un conjunto en el que se engloba la propia naturaleza fisica y la capacidad de cada una de nosotras en hacerla resaltar.
En la fotografia vemos como una chica guapisima se muestra natural y feliz tal y como ella es, sin vergüenza ni complejos. Eso es belleza.
"Possible general trend"? Maybe it´s not trendy but it´s real...
ReplyDeleteI think that a size 12 in Glamour is still not the idea of a size 12 most women envision. I fluctuate a lot and if you take a photo of me like this, I think I'd look heavier than this woman throughout most of my torso. A plus-sized model still has pretty specific proportions of bust-waist-hip. Most size 12s are not as symmetrical.
ReplyDeleteI agree Kate but what I like is the proportioned body a real woman could have. I have nothing against being aspirational and more real at the same time.
ReplyDeleteWhat I would remark is the model's smile and attitude...it is charming!!
To answer the question above, yes, I would like to see more images such as these on glossy magazines. I am sick to death with the undernoursihed, sceletal images of women in films and magazines! We should insist that these kind of images become the trend, and celebrate the female body in all its shapes and sizes. This idea of women having to look like some kind of android is completely ridiculous and unhealthy. Natural images of women in magazines will support women in feeling good about themselves and enjoy life, an essential goal in itself.
