They showed a REAL woman in their magazine! Rather than the very skinny (or digitally altered) photos we have all become used to seeing, Glamour recently photographed a size 12 (or 14?) woman, Lizzi Miller. She’s been referred to as “plus size” in some articles I’ve read about it but come on, isn’t that more of the “average” size of women across the United States? Our idea of “normal” seems to be getting smaller and smaller.
When some magazines are coming under fire for digitally enhancing some celebrities, Lizzi’s photo has generated tons of support for the photograph by women who appreciate that it isn’t healthy or realistic to try to attain the digitally-altered versions of celebrities in most magazines. It’s a reminder that women come in all shapes and sizes and according to the poll at the NY Daily News, most women want to continue to see REAL women in magazines.
