Don’t be — many of them wear padding for photoshoots. ! Well that’s just fucking stupid. wowww, what?? I FUCKING KNEW IT LMAOOO.. OMG AND SOM MUCH MORE BODY BINDING LIKE CORSETS.. SPANX ETC ETC “They come as a set — pairs of flesh-colored butt, breast, and thigh pads, along with a spandex girdle to stuff them in — and are packed in a little, black bag. They’re part of the standard equipment a plus-size model carries. Sabina, who’s about a size 12, often needs pads to fit the size 14 or 16 samples of clothing that she’s asked to model. This is not uncommon: She says she uses pads in about half her shoots, and all the models we spoke to have used them. “ …I’m somewhere between 14. I’ve been a 16 and I have been killing myself over the years to look like these women that aren’t even freakin real… This is so grimy man. I’m hurt. Like if you knew the things I’ve done to try achieve a flat stomach ^^^^^^^^^^^^ And this is why folks have “The Right Kind of Fat” image in their heads! The no-belly, perfect-thighs, no-cellulite, smaller arms, rounded in all the right place fat girls. YES these kinds of women do exist, but they aren’t the ones being photographed. Smaller girls in fat pads are. And it is wicked painful when folks wonder why you can’t be the plus sized girl in the magazine. it’s important to realize that this is just about modeling the clothes as it is about “the right kind of fat girl”! plus sized clothes often aren’t made for real fat bodies, a lot of the time they’re just skinny girl clothes with bigger measurements or skinny girl clothes with wacked out proportions. even plus sized models dont look right in plus sized clothes. we’re not just being advertised perfect bodies, it’s also the only person they’re selling to. -- source link
