    Serena's pic looks sorta dumb. Whimsical staring into the distance? I mean, was there no other pose they could have had her do? #glamourdecember2009cover

    It's a trick.

    If we're not of the demo to feel sufficiently "aspirationalized" by a standard and previously-repeatedly-seen blond/bland, they think we'll run out and buy them all to collect the set because we might never see it again. #glamourdecember2009cover

    This suggests to me that we could be using women who look fit and healthy at all sizes to model clothes (at least in magazines) and odds are good that no one would notice and be outraged. Because you can't even tell she's bigger than the other models! #glamourplussize

    I'm unreasonably annoyed that all these women are sharing this month's cover. Like it's news to me that the women's magazine industry is obnoxious.

    Why can't each of these women have a month all by herself? WHY? #glamourdecember2009cover

    Oh Glamour. Putting pep in your step is a colloquialism, not a literal prescription. How very Amelia Bedelia of you. Next month I expect advice on putting garbage in your drawers to achieve the desired 'junk in the trunk' look. #glamourdecember2009cover

    I would much rather read a magazine with Amy Poehler on the cover. What can Jessica Simpson say that hasn't been said already? I know Jessica sells magazines, but honestly? I skipped her article when I received the mag in the mail a few months ago.

    I'm sure we could come up a list of potential cover models that is much better and more interesting than having the same handful of girls pose over and over again. #glamourdecember2009cover

    Well, you guys, the only two of those women who are under 30 are black and the only blonde woman is like, old enough to have kids! You can't expect them to put people like that on the cover every month! People only want to see skinny blonde 20-somethings.

    You know, this comment started out as an over the top joke, but I suddenly realized everything (except maybe that last sentence) is totally true for Glamour. I feel icky.

    @Zombie Ms. Skittles: My first reaction to seeing all the covers lined up was that it was some kind of readership balkinization. Like they looked at their women of the year ladies, and were like, "Well, sure, sporty women like Serena, and white urban women like Pohler, and young black women relate to Rhianna.... but none of these women has universal appeal. You know, like Sienna Miller. Everyone LOVES Sienna Miller because she's a completely blank slate!" And so they did a bunch of different covers to hedge their bets, because they just can't imagine that any one of them could be liked and admired by a diverse readership. Because they think their readership is stupid. Otherwise, explain "Easy Beauty Tricks! 3-minute Miracles Inside" #glamourdecember2009cover

    I'm surprised that Glamour didn't say "We put Michelle Obama on the cover, and she's at least a Size 10! Hooray for us!"

    Hell, Michelle's gorgeously fabulous arms are probably bigger than the thighs of most of the average size 00 models! #glamourplussize

    Ha! Picture No. 2 proclaims, "Don't be tardy for the party!" I wonder if by plus-sized they mean plus-sized blonde weaves. If so, I approve. #glamourplussize

    I hear the point. I've heard it 1000 times here. And I agree with it. The exceptionally gorgeous woman in the photographs does not look remotely "plus sized." But, the fact of the matter is that in her profession, she is. She's probably marginalized and has a hard time finding work, makes less money and can't do the same sort of jobs as her model peers because she's maybe a size 6 or 8 and not a 2. No, this isn't a giant leap forward where all of a sudden a lady mag is showing us the full spectrum of humanity - both in size and color - after one successful image of a woman with *gasp!* a very small belly. But, I'll give Glamour credit for beginning to try. They can't reset the business model overnight and no matter what, the available models are going to be gorgeous women. They're models. One way or another they won a genetic lottery because they are capable of making their living off of their looks. It's no different than athletes making a living off of a skill that otherwise has little social value (100 mph accurate fastballs is not a transferable skill). The criticism is valid, but I actually think Glamour deserves more praise. Baby steps maybe, but steps nonetheless. #glamourplussize
