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
I mean, I think it counts in that a diversification of sizes should ALSO include women like Amy Lemons. But if Glamour is serious about a commitment to diverse body types, it's not enough by itself. #glamourplussize
a plus size model should wear a plus size, which averages to be dress size 12-14 and up. when designers realize that plus size women want actual design and style, not a curtain or caftan with a bow sewed on it, perhaps this will change, but in the designers eye, a size 8 might as well be wearing a size 18, and that's the problem.
there are designers that are trying to change things and make clothes, but really all anyone wants is to find something cool and flattering that's advertised in mainstream media in their size. that's all. it's not hard, but the industry makes it an epic saga. #glamourplussize
I probably wouldn't have been able to spot her if I didn't know she was wearing the blue and yellow dress. This shouldn't be like Where's Waldo. A variety of body types should be featured prominently. #glamourplussize
# 7 in the red dress was my guess (and I see I was right), but I genuinely didn't realize she was the same model as in # 2, who I thought was a straight-sized skinny skinny model, so what does that say? #glamourplussize
@keldo: He sold the business in 2005, so he had nothing to do with the decision. It must be odd to no longer have creative control over your own name. #lindsaylohanforungaro
@keldo: Yeah but, well, he sold his name. If you don't want to lose control of your image, don't sell your name. Didn't he learn anything from What's Love Got to Do With It?! #lindsaylohanforungaro
@Halfmad also known as MaxAgron: Aww, who could have predicted it would have been put into the hands of a coke-addled starlet, as opposed to the next Francisco Costa/Tom Ford? What happened here really has no precedent. I still feel bad for the guy. #lindsaylohanforungaro
Italian cashmere producer Brunello Cucinelli runs a factory with long lunch breaks, no timeclocks, and posted "rules" are quotes from philosophers and writers. He thinks he can afford to be both a great boss and a good businessman, and his company's revenues for this year are forecast to reach 154 million Euros, which is some 7% greater than last year, even with the recession

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