Glamour Magazine has been receiving boat-loads of fan-mail in response to the image above of Lizzi Miller, a plus sized model in her undies showing a little belly pouch, in a body-confident manner in their September issue. Look at the joy on her face! Lizzi is between a size 12-14 (so then, actually a bit smaller than the average American woman) and she is gorgeous. One thing that is particularly remarkable about this image and the one below is that Glamour isn't going out of its way to praise itself for having a non-sample sized model on the page. It isn't a "very special" article or spread loudly proclaiming their righteousness by opening the magazine up for a more diverse representation of body types. Its just an article and a photo. So well done Glamour and keep it up (although next time, how about a woman of color plus sized model?)
