No Way!!!!!

Lizzie Miller is considered too large to model plus-size clothes. Is the reaction that followed the publication of this picture going to change that?
'It's a photo that measures all of three by three inches," gushes Cindi Leive, editor of US Glamour in a post on the magazine's blog, "but the letters about it started to flood my inbox literally the day Glamour hit newsstands." The picture in question, illustrating a story about body confidence, has generated more than 700 comments on the site, and featured on the US Today morning TV programme. What does it show? A beautiful, creamy-skinned naked model . . . with a small roll of stomach fat.
Lizzie Miller, the 20-year-old model in question, agrees that it's astonishing that, at 5ft 11in and 12.5 stone she's considered a "plus size" model. *****
One wouldn't have thought this would be news. As Miller says, "pretty much every picture in a magazine or ad is airbrushed . . . I don't think the public understands how much smoke and mirrors are involved in making women look like that."

Not guilty!
“What the hell is 12.5 stone?”
They threw 12 at the fatso and didn’t have the strength to hit with the 13th!
Had an apprentice years ago from England and he asked for the steps and everyone on the job just looked at him and laughed!
Yep...Ritz or Saltines...I’ll even supply the Cheez Whiz.
One stone equals 14 pounds.
Now SHE’S hot!!!
Just Perfect!!!
Frankly, I don’t think I’m all that fussy.
