A size 12 is a plus size? - it's a NORMAL size for women!! Instead of calling a 12 plus size, the sizes below that should be called MINUS sizes!! With the obesity problem getting worse - and, by the way, a person who wears a size 12 is far from being obese - we go the opposite direction in what is normal, so no wonder practically everyone is considered overweight/obese!! It's nuts! It's the rich/NYC crowd that pushes that - you can never be too thin and too rich! And, many of them, such as Paris Hilton have to be hooked on cocaine to stay skinny. Great messages we're sending the young women of today!

It was poor thinking to restrict the show to such a narrow range of sizes. If fashions in sizes starting around #8 were included, there would have been a lot more interest. Sure Americans are overweight, but an atmosphere where ALL the models are fat is not a happy one!

OMG, that woman looks wonderful!

Since when is size 12 PLUS SIZE????!!!!!!!!????????????????

If the general standard for weight is 100 lb for 5 feet and 5 additional lb for each added inch over 5 feet, then someone 5 feet 9 inches could easily weight about 145 and NOT be considered plus size at all. Also someone that height can be plus or minus that weight and still be in the norm for normal weight. So, if that is the case, based on medical weight charts and medical and nutrional experts, then it is the fashion industry that is wrong. Fashion shows that contain models who are 5 foot 9 inches and weight 125 pounds ( often less) are malnourished and underweight. Most probably lack muscle tone of the heart and lungs as well as the muscular system just to maintain that weight. Apparently, haute couture cannot be shown on real people of normal weight because that does not sell clothes. Women hide behind the facade that they too can look like runway models or those in the magazines. And, some do, but not most. Our priority needs to change from strictly what we weight to what is healthy for our bodies and our image in general.

Since when is a size 12 considrered plus?????? From a mans pointof view it gets tiring seeing skin and bones out there. When I see a woman who is skin and bones I shake my head and say..............how can a guy get turned on by that? Besides if Milan took its head out from its ass and looked at the word out there they would clearly see that the real average size is 12 to 16 and that is not plus. How beautiful a woman looks with some meat on here to inhance the curves God gave her? I think being with a woman who was skin and bones would make me feel likea pedophile! When will the fashion industry take its rose colored glasses off and see what is really normal out there? Of course then if you look at it in a real way..................tell me in all honesty,would any of you ladies out there really be caught dead in half the frocks that sashay down that runway????? Its time women took over the fashion industry instead of guys who want to be them!

I'm so tired of seeing those ugly walking skeletons as "models" but are more like hideous things that escaped from a cemetary. I want to see nice looking NORMAL women modeling normal clothes, not bags of bones in ugly rags.

I don't think we should reward people for doing unhealthy things to themselves. Be it smoking and/or drinking to excess, depriving themselves of oxygen for the high, or, not attempting to maintain a healthy weight relative to one's physical type.

Dear Crispy Crunchy Susan, Please indulge yourself in another yogurt or granola bar. Remember God made each of us and believes in diversity.................and oh yes, please disregard any thoughts about the people out there that have it in the genes to be heavier than what the world wants them to be. I rest my case! No need to reply as you don't want to get into a pissing match with me! Trust me on that!

Since the fashion industry says so. High fashion is a size zero and sometimes a double-zero. Out here in the "real world", almost nobody is a size zero, but the fashion industry is not the real world. It's not fair, but that's the way it is.
