Oh to be as fit as the Woman Within...



Dear Woman Within:

Thanks for your email the other day. I'm not really sure how you got my address, but that's neither here nor there. I saw the cute lil model (above) and went to see what you may have to offer me for a few new summer pieces I want for my wardrobe.

Imagine my surprise when I got to your website and realized you specialize in sizes 14W to 44W. I hadn't gotten that impression before (til I looked at the small print at the top of your banner).

Apparently your model is REALLY large boned, or has the biggest thighs in history, because her abs are flatter than mine, and I'm a paltry size 8 or so.

I hate to consider the alternative - that while there are plenty of beautiful plus-size models looking for work, you chose to employ someone markedly smaller than your target market. No idea why you'd do that....

Sincerely confused.

I checked this out because I just didn't believe that advertisers would do that!!! Wants really bad is they have their 'big size' cloths on a smaller body and they look way too big. The cloths would actually look better on a larger model. Crazy!

That is just so ridiculous!

I agree. That just is ridiculous!

Wow, this is so shocking and really an insult to plus size women. Thanks for sharing your opinion. Good for you.
