Marianne,

Do you plan on visiting So. Calif. soon? Let me know if you do. It would be great to do a shoot with you.

We need more of you European plus (normal) size llamas over here! Don't forget about us photogs in the States.

Marianne,

That's great!

Please make sure you visit So. Calif. and give me a "heads up" when you do. We don't have models like you over here. It's sad but true : (

well, ofcourse there is only 1 marianne smile.

but plus size modelling came to Europe through America, it's way younger here, so I suppose there are hundreds of amazing plus size models there!

if you see a great fashion spread of a great plus size model that isn't crystal renn, feel free to share!

(don't get me wrong, I adore her, but the whole point of this thread is to show people that there are other great plus size models out there that aren't crystal)

I think you nailed it completely with your posts. Kate Dillion has always been my favorite. And the girl that has shot for Target on here...I've noticed her ads before and thought she was stunning.

Believe me, we don't have plus size models like you, Tine S., or Babalone. That's a fact, unfortunately.

thin is not a negative word. and I certainly did not mean it as a negative word here. women use it as a compliment by the way, as in "god you look so thin!".

If I would have said "skin and bones", then I would understand your post.

on top of that, the whole point of that sentence is that I think thin ehm sorry SLIM models can be absolutely gorgeous... a great model is a great model, if she's a size 0 or a size 16, that doesn't really matter to me.

just saying, that reply was a bit unnecassary.

Saying You look thin is the flip side of you look fat, you can't have one without the other, you may not find the "you look thin" offensive, but then a slim model would not find the "you look fat" comment offensive.

I do find it interesting how you want to be treated with kid gloves and tip toed around so as you are not offended, but have scant regard for others feelings.

I can name plenty of very slim women I know who would take great offense at "you look fat". Personally, I don't know one woman, regardless of their size, who would find "you look thin" anywhere near as offensive as "you look fat".
