Plus-Size Models Clothed & Nude V Magazine Photo Spread (NSFW)

to so called plus size women migrate Nairobi Kenya am sure you will be appreciated here
Anything that is good but small in size is termed "CUTE"
But what ever that has high quality and quantity is described by the word
BEAUTIFUL
So they are plus size but beautiful women

You always see those women who you say "She would be so hot if she lost weight", now they have a magazine to show them. Good for them.

Too each his own I guess.

all we need is "average" looking chicks in the modeling industry. not fat, not skinny, but normal sized parts and nothing that looks overly boney or squeezy.
not sure if that makes complete sense...

but what im saying is that neither body size isn't ok. we should all be healthy, not skinny consumers of nothing, or fat consumers of everything. that yields a twisted perception of American women. everyone knows how bad the skinny regulations are in modeling, but do we want to start saying it's ok for other women to become big for a new plus-size industry?? look at our existing issues with heart disease, diabetes, and obesity...

Query:what is Normal? hmm last time I asked an academic. Normal is the established ideal that that a majority deems okay. Second Query what is the percentage of people that are overweight in America. The CDC reports that 67 percent of Americans are Overweight or Obese. Skeptic-Google it.That means the majority is the new normal but they are try trumpeting the anorexic ideal of the minority in New York's fashion Nexus.

Yes being overweight and obese is medically dangerous thats why i have made life style changes

But stop and think 67 percent. Thats an epidemic peeps. It cannot mean that there are legions of people on their ass. Sorry. But the most unhealthiest foods and derivatives: Corn, Soy, and wheat are subsidized. when one eats saturated fats it destroys endothielial cells[ which are crucial for the circulation and getting it up] and the hormone leptin which curb hunger.

Models are the surface issue. The brass tax is what foods we value to cheapen and subsidize. If we subsidized fruit and vegetables- making them cheaper-Wonder how ove weight we will be as a majority or normal then.

is this really news...save this shit for perez hiltons pussy ass...

it's always between ridiculously thin or plus-sized models. HOW ABOUT AVERAGE-SIZED, HEALTHY MODELS??? neither stick-thin nor overweight models promote a healthy image, or at least in my opinion. not to say that a woman can't look beautiful if she's a skeleton or if she has some extra meat on her bones, but... it's just not healthy.

these are some sexy women right here. nice full bodied figure. they actually look like a human being . unlike those bigtime supermodels who look like starving aliens.

I think there are some good comments in here and I think there are some poeple who need to STFU and get some therapy.
That aside, it is a recent phenomenon alla 'Twiggy' in the sixties, that we are made to believe that one particular size of women is the idea of beauty. Thanks to marketing and advertisement-your are programmed to see beauty as skin deep. Then your skin sags/penis wont work/hairline recedes. What do you do? : the Market suggests. Botox, viagra, hair transplant. To fix the problem of your existential self. Problem is your a douche, anxious-or still lonely.

What happened to health and fitness being a hallmark of beauty. I have seen a fat Jazzercise instructors who can really move, I have had skinny people complain that walking a mile is too much trouble-. I am a size 16 and I can still bring my feet up to my ears-thank you Bikram Yoga.

Instead of using Plus Size females or Skinny Chicks why dont they just use Normal ones?

Keep up the good work V Magazine! I will buy this issue to support this new trend! A trend that would bring the goo goo ga ga general public back to reality. Media outlets had swayed us too far from reality for too long! Im glad to see the change. And yes, Cablevision dropping FoX WOO HOO!!!

I think i can sleep with one of those model,, yeah one of those lonely nights nothing to do why not

I have nothing against plus sized models, but these girls look a little too big. I'm not saying models all need to be stick thin, but how is being overweight any better?

I see a lot of people saying things like "oh, it's good to see real women in a magazine!" But why does being a "real" woman mean being overweight?

It isn't good to justify being unhealthy just because you saw a model in a magazine that was the same size. The fact that so many people consider overweight to be "real" is kind of worrisome to me.

i definitely have a problem with the unrealistic bodies that the media so often portrays and the effects it can have on the body image of women and girls in this country. having said that, obesity is a growing problem and i am ashamed that more than one third of my country is overweight. while i think women (and men too) should accept and love their bodies no matter what size they are, there is something to be said for taking care of that body and eating right, exercising, etc.
i think that depicting some "real" women with whom the average American woman can relate is great and will encourage this acceptance but we shouldn't forget the importance of health and promote being overweight.

While it's nice to see a model larger than a 00, I'd really prefer if we got to see a variety of sizes/shapes/skintones/etc. I'm tired of hearing the term "real women" thrown around. Thin women are real women, whether they are naturally slim or have an eating disorder it doesn't make them any less real. Most of the time what people mean when they say "real" is "average", which is fine albeit an extremely illusive term, and it doesn't even begin to cover the spectrum of beauty that is the human form.

Sorry, but I could never see myself with a woman who weighs more than I do.

If non-Americans see this magazine, it'll only confirm their notions of our country. -_-

"They're so fat, even their MODELS are fat!!! Omg, Americans are sooooo faaaaat!!!"

Bleh. Stupid bastards.

What exactly is being underweight or overweight? Are we using someone's BMI (Body Mass Index) or are we using their appearance as a rule of thumb?

A person who is 5'7" has a healthy BMI if their weight is in between 118 and 159 - a huge spread, no? Wouldn't that mean that two people with that same height could be equally as healthy if one is 118 and the other is 159?

I'm thinking that being plus-sized doesn't necessarily mean someone is unhealthy.

In the meantime, a few of those women pictured are absolutely gorgeous.

Where's the beef?

Rofl, even they are photoshopped to look pretty.

Not to say they arent pretty or whatnot but these models arent really my cup of tea. I prefer slim to skinny or plus sized. This is def a step up from heroin cheek and ribs popping out though.

They look fabulous. It's nice to see some images of beauty that aren't so cliché!

I think this is really great but why are we showing women in these two extremes? Tiny ladies and big-boned girls. Some of us ladies are just a size 10. Big on the bottom, small on the top. I find that to be the average rather than this or the stick thin women.

All in all though, it would be great to see more diversity in fashion. Just because you're a size 2, doesn't mean you're unhealthy and just because you're a size 16, doesn't mean you're unhealthy. Let's just see what's real. You'd have more people interested in your fashion line if a woman of any shape or size can see themselves in your clothes.

Disgusting!

the point of mentioning photoshopping women, is that it gives society an unrealistic view of women. most people realize that music is digitally altered. but altered music doesnt give young girls esteem problems and young boys unrealistic fantasies that in return lead to self esteem problems in girls. totally not on the same playing field dude.

these women simply look thick or in ol' school terms "big-boned"...not my cup of tea personally but there has been those rainy days;-)...also to the guys who complain about the photoshopness of pictures should make note that most modern musicians also use technology to enhance their art.If you want unaltered visions of women,go outside.

gross^^ i'm just honest...

i agree with you Saladin, the airbrushing is what really makes any model look ridiculous. These models do look slightly overweight, but it is refreshing to see any body type other than 6'1 100lb women. I do worry slightly that too many images of "plus sized" women will encourage people to stay overweight by making it "acceptable", but these women look normal to me.

The idea is nice, a good change from the impossibly anorexic models you typically see in these magazines.

But I would actually prefer if they just stopped airbrushing them with photoshop, that's what's really fake. Human skin just doesn't look like that. I can deal with absurdly skinny women or other silliness if it's actually -real-.

These aren't "normal" women. These women are obviously overweight (and no I'm not comparing them to real models).

"instead of using super skinny, unhealthy looking models,"
So they went with super fat, unhealthy looking models...

i think they're beautiful. i love curvy,soft, natural women.

i think the big bopper said it best "you know what i like"

those ladies are not skinny but they aint also on the good size they are a lil very lil over the weight over me

what the hell is too much skin? Oh yea we're prudes....

Good to see some real women for a change.

These ladies are not skinny,but at the same time, they don't really seem fat ether ! I think it's about time models with somewhat realistic body figures find their way into media! It sets a better example to young women! Tie a few things about health into beauty magazines (which actually already seem to be in several!) & you are setting culture on a better path!

being underweight is unhealthy just like being overweight is unhealthy,...
with that said, ...i much prefer a woman that has a little meat on the bones compared to a woman that is just skin and bones...
