She is not fat at all.
She is. Certainly not obese, but definitely overweight.
They're trying to appeal to bigger women, but IMO they're doing at all wrong, size 16 does not equal big or "fat"
If the advertisers want to appeal to real women then they need to stop airbrushing, you want real women, look at that ginger bird from Corrie, Fizz I think her name is, or that lass who plays Ugly Betty, yes I know they have tons of make up put on them but my lass is a size 16 and she doesn't look like that lass in the photos at all. (She doesn't look like Fizz or Ugly Betty either but thats not my point, they both have stomachs on them)
They won't ever use "real" women that you seen walking round the high street because, just like the cosmetics industry, they're trying to sell hope.
Basically that advert is saying:
"Look this lass is a size 16, if you're a size 16 too, then buy this stuff and you could look as good as she does"
When in reality it's saying
"This lass has had a ton of make up and airbrushing, if you buy this stuff you won't look like her, but your other half might actually pay some attention to you if you buy it"

I've seen more 'pleasing on the eye' 16's. She does look fat rather than curvy to me.
Indeed! I think they should ban airbrushing in adverts, I wouldn't want my gf, or any woman to look airbrushed in real life, it would look weird.
And fat, i wouldn't want that belly in my face.
On a person to person basic it's largely useless, I think a combination of both body fat (>19-20% for men, >28% for women) combined with a BMI over 25 would be more accurate although still not perfect.
I'd say she is probably both.
There's levels of being large. The girl in the OP is just fat, where-as the girl on the right here:
I could quite happily bone.
Girl on the right is just perfect, the thing on the left needs to institutionalized and force fed a high calorific diet through tubes, and the girl in the middle needs to get some psycho therapy and a dietary specialist before she joins the freak on the left.
As for the women in the OP. I wouldn't say she is fat, not thin, slightly larger than averagely curvy. But her face is hardly super model territory, still plenty pretty enough but I would have thought AS could have found a lady of similar size with a prettier face.
Well i am glad a woman has agreed with my OP!
