Dance for me Kate... DANCE!!0 -
When I saw her on the cover of sports illustrated, I was like, "Wow; they put a plus size model on the cover. That's progressive." She's not "fat" for a person walking on the street, but she certainly has at least 2 times the body fat of a standard model. Why does she get paid for that? I think models should have to work for it... Their job is to look good... That's all they have to do. And she doesn't bother to work out? That's just lazy.
:huh: :grumble: :noway:0 -
She's not fat, but I do find her weight average and that's not good enough for a model.
We need more average models. These really thin, airbrushed ones we have are the reason why so many girls have eating disorders.
What do we need average models for? We have average people everywhere. Models are supposed to represent a FANTASY. We can't handle the fact that we aren't perfect so we have to make art that's mediocre? C'mon.
Well models should also represent health while they're at it. Nothing wrong with fantasy models, just not enough average ones out there. Everywhere you turn you see size 0 models. No wonder girls who are Kate's size think they're fat..
I think its up to us, as parents to teach our daughters what healthy looks like. Not the fashion industry. My daughter is aware that a size 0 doesn't always mean unhealthy. Neither does a size 12. I prefer to be my daughters role model.
You are embracing this old school retro thing of raising your kids instead of the media? You must be crazy, we all know you have to sit your kids in front of a TV or a computer and let them do the rest.

Hoo-hoo! That's the best laugh I've had in a while. Are you kidding me? Kate Upton is not "plus size". If you consider a model that's a size 0-1 to be "perfect" or the "right weight" then you're absolutely insane. Those girls don't define what real women look like, they define what women that are treated like crap and have to starve half the time look like. If they drop five pounds you'd see every bone in their body, and it would be disgusting.
Models are also partially what's wrong with how girls view themselves today, thinking that if they aren't skinny like the girl in Cosmo or a VS angel then they are fat, and they aren't good role models at all.
Kate Upton is gorgeous, and that's that. She's not plus size. The "plus size" term, as much as I despise it, is normally starting at what, 18-20w? She's no where close.0 -
I'm about half her size and I'm disgusting to look at. If someone has decided to call her fat then so be it. She looks great whatever the label.
This made me sad. You shouldn't say you are disgusting to look at.0 -

See your Kate Upton .gif and raise with Kate Upton and a cheeseburger.

Wow! I don't know where you're from, but I see nothing average about Kate Upton. That's why she was on Sports Illustrated...etc. She's not average. She's definitely not the typical thin-as-a-rail model, but she's looks nothing like any woman that I've ever lived next door to, or ran into at the grocery store.
Don't move to LA, you will be surprised on how good looking the population is.0 -

I think Kate Upton is beautiful. I also think fashion models who are "rail thin" are beautiful. You don't have to put down one in order to build up the other.0

Seriously? If I was "fat" like her I wouldn't need to be on MFP. She's my goal weight.

I have NO PROBLEM not being perfect !!!!! We need average models to show what a real person looks like. Screw fantasy, want fantasy, go watch a Disney movie! Kelly Upton is not mediocre art, she looks better than most models on the runway. I suppose the Venus De Milo is mediocre as well since her measurements are wider. I have a friend who's daughter nearly died starving herself to look like these so called art forms. She stopped having her period, and was wasting away. This is NOT the lesson to teach young girls. Or boys for that matter.0 -

What makes me sad is if I did those exact same dance moves, someone would call 911. "Some lady's having a seizure!"0 -

Let's be honest. We don't NEED them. My son is always saying he NEEDS a sucker or he NEEDS to wear his red shirt. He doesn't need those things; he wants them. You want them.
That's sad about your friend's daughter but there were more factors there than seeing supermodels in the media. Suddenly making all models/actresses/celebrities an average weight would not solve the mental issues that many girls/boys and men/women have concerning their bodies. You need to treat the illness, not symptoms.0 -

The top and bottom are photo shopped, no opinion, just fact that photoshop makes it difficult to assess truthfully.
She's not the body type I strive for nor would she be able to turn me, but she's pretty.0 -

This is a joke, right?
Oh I certainly hope so how in the world does she look anything like a plus size model really........... really :noway:0 -
Words cannot explain how sexy I find Kate Upton.
I would leave my fiance for her.

Your idea of plus size model and what the people in the fashion world consider a plus size model are most likely different.
Robyn Lawley is considered the current face of plus size modeling. I tend to drool when I see her.

You're right. What people would think of as a plus size model and what plus size models actually look like are quite different.
But I gotta be honest. As gorgeous as this woman is, she is heavily photoshopped in this picture.
According to wikipedia (yeah...not exactly accurate but meh) her measurements and weight/height are pretty similar to mine, as I just happen to be extremely tall. Pretty sure my lines aren't as smooth as that.0
