A large number of Americans are fat now.

If it sells stuff, why not? It's just present day reality.

For that matter, I'm fat, but I don't buy clothing based on models.

Advertising in this market space is aspirational so regardless of how you look, you want to see models who are looking really trim and fit.

Who wants to buy clothes from a company that models them with fat, ugly chicks?

I still marvel that this company thrives by selling $125 pairs of long johns.

You’ve got to be clear that you don’t want certain customers coming in,” Wilson said,


Ok, that right there is disgusting. I don’t wear yoga pants, and it sounds like I couldn’t afford them there, anyway.

I have no problem with plus-size models. Ad agencies don’t use large ugly women. Don’t really see what the issue is.

Vicky Secret’s DEI fat ugly sales campaign flopped as well. Hiring the commie, lesbian, kneel taking, soccer girl was an expensive flop too.

I second the guys stance. I do not want to see trannys, fatsos or sickly thin models. It’s nasty. Just to make some fat person happy. Screw them, we’re human and want to see pretty humans in advertising if we must be subjected to it.

Are all these so called advertising geniuses idiots? Did they not learn from the Victoria’a Secret Plus sized models fiasco? I swear there is a plot to crash the stock market and ruin American companies.

I don’t want to see that crap.

Why not just go to the zombie zone in Philadelphia and drape the overpriced leggings on the homeless druggies while they are shooting up or defecating in the streets?

Much like forcing a weight loss plan to promote eating donuts and pastries to lose weight

Fat is not healthy. Extreme obesity is deadly. To me a fat woman is not at all attractive.

When I was a kid just about all young and middle aged women had great figures. It was the norm. Not so today, maybe a quarter of them have healthy looking figures.

There are catalogues for plus size clothing. Woman Within, for one. The clothing looks good on their healthy plus size models. A lot of seniors use these catalogues to phone in their orders.

We moved from South Florida to New Mexico 18 years ago. Our boys were 13 and 8. It did really occur to me that we would be drastically lowering their number of acceptable future mates by doing so.

In our old social circles the young women averaged - please forgive me - a good solid 8. We didn’t appreciate that at the time, but the white, upper middle class girls were attractive, well mannered, and generally acceptable. Sounds horrible, but you start to think about these things for your children at a certain age.

Out here in NM the attractive white upper middle class girl is freaking unicorn. My older son got lucky. On his first day at his school bus stop he met a girl who had also just moved into the neighborhood from Florida. They eventually started dating, got married, and have blessed me with two beautiful grandchildren. My young son was not so lucky.

His romantic life was a series of dramas with somewhat trashy girls who tried to get him into sex and drugs. He wanted none of that. He was a counselor at a church camp in Texas for several summers and after one summer, decided to stay there. He met a wonderful girl, from a wonderful family. He didn’t find out until long after they were engaged that the grandparents on both of her sides of the family were wealthy - one oil, one cattle. He is now married and a police officer.

All this to say that, and I don’t know if it is EVERYWHERE, but the girls here have weight issues, tattoos, and lots and lots of drama.
