So there i was doing a bit of shopping on my own and having a cursory glance in the Ann Summers window...as you do, when i noticed a rather sizeable model in one of the window pictures.

Apparently some size 16 woman one a competition to be the new face of Ann Summers, and this is her:

Now, do not get me wrong, I LOVE curvy women and I'm not a fan of women who have the figure of a 10 year old boy ( i.e. Keira Knightley).Neither do i think the girl who won that competition is hideous.

I do think though ,that essentially, she is fat. It keeps going on about 'curvy' women but let's face it, she is not just curvy...

For years we have had people complaining that the stick thin models we see everywhere are causing women and young girls to damage their health by getting too thin. Now however, Ann Summer seem to have just gone too far the other way and promoted a look that is, essentially, overweight.


I then walked into Marks and Spencer's and was greeted with Lisa Snowdon in a bikini....much better!
 
She's massive... but so are most women. I suppose Ann Summers have realised women aren't getting smaller any time soon and have had to give in.

edit: and ye, those aren't curves... they're rolls.
 
She's a more accurate representation of the society we live in.

No problem here, better than the 10 year old flat-chested boy look.
 
Thing is, she still looks pretty large even with complementary lighting... I don't think I'd find her attractive, I think my physical attraction decreases exponentially after size 14.

That said, I think this is a good move on AS' part.

She is not fat at all. :confused:

Yes she is.

She's got on big granny pants that'll be holding her in, the mood lighting will be there to compliment her, and she still looks fat.

It's a more natural thing than the stick-thin monstrosities, but it's not particularly pleasing on the eye.

I'm not really complaining. I just thought it might be worthy of discussion :p

Fair enough. I wouldn't say she was 'fat', more 'big' or 'tubby', but then they are all terms that are quite subjective. Whatever she is, she represents far more women in the UK than most high street models, she is sporting lingerie sold by the shop in question specifically for women of those dimensions and the photographs are tasteful. I see no problem!
 
She was the only "plus size" model (and I hate that terminology) that entered the competition. So she did well to win.

Personally I don't see a problem with the woman. I wouldn't kick her out of bed and I sure as hell don't see "rolls of fat" as some posters have said.
