These women dont look plus size to me. They are stunning.



Its a shame that our society thinks of women like this.

I agree that there are some societal categories that are unfortunate, but a term is only as powerful as you make it. Blonde, Brunette, Redhead...Plus. It's a descriptive term, not an insult!

And Sita proves this over and over by demonstrating exactly what a plus size model is and should be! Curvaceous beautiful women who are simply larger than a size 8. (amongst other standards) wink

(This model is a nice illustration of the long shelf-life that plus models have, vs. most straight size fashion models.  Julie would still be great for several plus clothing stores I can think of who regularly use models in the 30-50 range.  Woo.)

WOW!!! What a gorgeous body!!!

The only reason I ever wanted to be taller was so that I could actually pursue a plus-size career. Even as a 105 lb. teen, I always dreamed of looking like Sophie Dahl and other voluptuous beauties.
