Bigger is best?

Sample fashion models from a women's catalog (Junonia.com). This catalog does not use any models smaller than size 18 (American):

And there was me hoping for some cock pics in this thread. (Angela: J/K! )

And, despite things Abs might say, I am not skinny. My dress size fluctuates between a 14 and 16 (don't know what that is in the US), and, I'm always horny!

Dunno what that says, but I do know I am very happy with my own body and my own sexuallity.

And more 18+ sized models. See, it is possible to have it both ways. A woman who is nine sizes larger than "normal" can be more drop-dead-gorgeous than the ones who fill the Paris runways.

LOL - Well, since you are all dolled up to model an English flag, I still can't see who you are REALLY are. Now what was that about your stockings?

A section from Junonia's press-kit:

Junonia's Models

Junonia uses models that wear a size 18 or more. "Our models are primarily selected because of their ability to convey a sense of fun and confidence - to inspire our customers to enjoy their lives today," says Kelly. "Finding enough great models for Junonia is hard," says Creative Director Tom Lindmeier. "The model agencies still think a plus-size model wears a size 10-12. So we are constantly looking for talent."

But the extra effort is paying off with Junonia customers. "I probably get more e-mails and calls congratulating us on out models then on any other topic," says Lindmeier. "It tells me we are really hitting the mark with our customers."
Junonia actively solicits models.

Comments from customers about Junonia models:

"The models in your catalog are what separates you from the rest. Your models are beautiful, healthy women who are full figured and clearly confident with themselves and their bodies. Thank you!" wrote a customer.

Another customer pointed out, "Your choice of real-looking, but beautiful models shouts out 'hey, size shouldn't be the criteria for a happy life!'"

"Your catalog is one of many I receive. The major and wonderful difference is your use of big beautiful models. This certainly gives a true idea of how your clothing line looks on the people who actually buy the items," e-mailed a customer.

"I was pleased to see the positive images of strong women who truly radiated with positive self-image. I wish I had received this publication when I was a teen," noted a customer.

Another customer wondered, "Your models look active, happy and healthy. Why should I buy clothes from people who are so ashamed or afraid of larger women (their target market) that they only model their clothes in the standard anorexic body, or maybe a size 14 if they're really daring?"

I'm FORBIDDEN from going to that site!

What have they heard???

Stockings, you say? I prefer them on my wrists, rather than my legs.

Yes, I should be leaving now. I've committed one too many acts of chaos here. Just send me the bill for the damages.

Re: ROFL

BOX:
“Surely they don't believe that men are especially attracted to women who look like Ally McBeal.”

Perhaps in your world it’s the big ladies who get the whistles and the calls. Ever walked down the street with a model? I’m pretty sure you’d change your tune. And you want to know what kinds of things are said to these models on EVERY block they walk? I’m not even sure Lit can quite imagine. You think said models like the whistles and calls? LOL Oh ya, makes them feel like fucking. LOL [/B]

There are models and there are M*O*D*E*L*s. If she were a fashion model, the kind this thread is about, or was about, she would not even get a second glance. If she were a Victoria's Secret model, she would get not only glances but stares, ogles and whistles. If she were one of the Junonia models, she would probably get that and freindly greetings from men hoping to strike up friendships because those women are not only gorgeous but look approachable. As for the fact that she was accompanied by me, that would not deter anybody because men would assume she was my daughter or niece or even granddaughter. My oldest granddaughter is 22 yo by the way.

Most men - not all men, but most men - don't yell or whistle at strange women, or make indecent proposals, no matter how attractive, unless they are strippers on stage or some other place where it is expected. Most men are not such boors although they do look.

A couple of weeks ago I put this into experimentation. Average walking down the street, you get a few whistles. Me on a sugar rush walking down the street laughing, got three times as much.
