Treadmill, hit it.

Motorboat.

I, like most sane straight men would bang this girl like a screen door in a hurricane if given the chance

ABC fail

omfg, this woman is hawt!!

Those boobies are so big, they have their own gravity field.

Muy caliente! Curvy women are THE best and all you skin and bone lovers can send 'em my way!

If she lost 15-20 pounds she would be perfect.

Most Lane Bryant ladies are more like 'Precious' , fat - this woman is just big, she can shop in regular stores.

Being fat should not be shameful- we all do unhealthy things.

There's this weird invisibility of women who really are in the 14/16/18 range, like I take it this model is (again, if the reports are true, and I don't see any reason to think they aren't). I am the same size and an inch or two shorter than her, and let me tell you, it's impossible to find clothes. "Regular" stores generally stop at around size 12 (14 if you're lucky), and for some reason people seem to assume that crossing that boundary instantly makes you a giant shapeless whale of a person who should be relegated to muumuus for the rest of your life. Go look at the size charts for wherever your favorite clothes come from. Do they carry a size 16? Probably not. (And then in the cases where there are "1X/2X" etc. sizing, the proportions change, which means that those of us who retain hourglass waist/hip ratios at size 16 are still shit out of luck).

Seriously! One time I was watching some program and this lady said that an hourglass figure doesn't really exist in anything larger than a size 8 and I was like are you kidding me? I mean I didn't even know I was such an exceptionally rare anomaly of human proportions.

I tend to fluctuate from maybe a 10 to almost 16 (I know it's not healthy and I actually don't diet at all, it just depends on my life at the time) Anyway, yeah, it's so hard to shop for a size 14! everything fits fine at 10 but even if you can find a 14 somewhere it'll inevitably hang off your shoulders all boxy and baggy and totally unflatteringly. Argh.

I've spent my whole life thinking that even boys who think I'm pretty would like me better thinner. A few months ago I met this guy, though, who was sooo into my squishy ass and I can't tell you how amazingly reassuring and surprising it was to hear that. I'd just always assumed I was maybe pretty but not that sexy. Stupid media with your stupid unrealistic obsessions.

Point taken. Dept/chain store is what I meant by 'regular' and lots of designers have similar if not the exact same clothing in the misses and plus line- Gap, Banana rep, etc. have women's sizes from 0-20.

Advertisers put larger and smaller women at odds and this should not be; curvy women of all sizes have trouble finding clothes.

Maybe they should use an actual celebrity like "Dirty Martini"!

The lady is gorgeous, but 'tis pity that she's actually on the low end of the Lane Bryant sizing spectrum. If your ad's gonna get rejected for excessive feminine pulchritude, you should use a woman more representative of LB's customer base, like this bombshell f'instance. Now that's a woman with oomph! (and no, he's not being sarcastic.)

the US is so depressing and lame. this would be a non issue in a civilized, modern, advanced society such as France. this backwards backwater of a country populated with superstitious neo puritans is really starting to get on my fucking nerves.

There's nothing obscene in this. Curves are good.

A woman without curves is like rock and roll music without a bass guitar... there's just something missing.

Nice to see I'm not alone in preferring curvy women... they're delicious *and* nutritious!

Big bottom, big bottom

Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em

Big bottom drive me out of my mind

How could I leave this behind?

How is that chick plus size? She doesn't look like she's all that much heavier than I am, and I wear a size 6 or 8. Of course I can't fit into the tops (most designers feel that adult women should have chests like preadolescent boys), but that's an issue I share with many other ladies. I would guess she's a 10 or 12, hardly ginormous. I thought Lane Bryant sold actual plus size clothing, like 14+?

Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that the vast majority of designers are gay? Naah, probably just is due to the fact that most designers are sizest!

Like most plus sized models, she's probably very tall (~6') - this can make it so that even though she might technically wear a 12-14 she will proportionally look like someone who is 5'6 and an 8-10.
