I have noticed a disturbing trend lately. People feel that plus size model's should not be ranked in the same category as regular size models, because they are just not as pretty or too sexy. Other's feel it is extremely easy to be one. I'm confused as to why America feels this way.
My favorite model is Ashley Graham. Ashley is a known Plus Size model with both a striking face and amazing body.She is a plus size lingerie model for Lane Bryant. Back in 2010 Ashley appearance in Lane Bryant commercial did strike much controversy between Lane Bryant and ABC. Saying the ad was just "too sexy" for t.v and exposed far too much cleavage. This seems a little bit hypocritical since Victoria Secret models such as Adriana Lima can be displayed all over television sets across America. She is a beautiful model but is she not too sexy for t.v? And my next question is, how sexy is too sexy and how much cleavage is unacceptable? Because she is not hiding anything in this picture.
Sad to say many people come down alot harder on plus size models than they do on 90 pound 6'1 models who only have a half a piece of lettuce and mint for a meal. Fact is being a plus size model is not easy. You have to maintain your weight not losing to much or adding too much either. Vigorous workouts and meal planning. As well as nailing fashion shows, photo shoot, and campaigns for various brands. Ashley graham is a great example of that she is making appearance in Vogue as well as Latina Magazine. Despite what many my think and feel Plus Size is beautiful. There is nothing wrong with that. Instead of showing such negativity towards these woman who carry a little more than bones they should be embraced. That way other young girls now can understand that there is nothing wrong with the curves they possess and have a healthy body image.
