    Yeah, I'm bored.

    Just read this and I cannot believe that this woman is being classed as large or plus size!

    She is slim, has a lovely figure, and looks perfectly healthy! What on earth is this world coming to?

        She looks fantastic and certainly a lot better then the scrawny lot one often sees in fashion shows on the telly.
        I really can't understand the fashion industries obsession with models that have Wednesday legs and arms, wens-day-gonna-break.

          Blimey! Has the world gone mad? Oh wait........Yes , it has.
          She is gorgeous and is not a plus size. I don't understand why woman have to be labeled as such just because you can't see our ribs sticking out and our legs aren't like twigs!

            It dosn't help when they keep changing the size's of women's clothes
            Boy it's hard to find size 32" jeans for men

              Perfect figure. Most these days look like they need a good feed.

                Glad its not just me. The world seems to have completely lost the plot and its getting worse - even the behaviour of some of these young men and women is going way beyond the mark (and I am anything but a prude); God I sound old..............

                    The Mail, or somebody, saw fit to doctor the photos. I'd be amazed if they haven't been heavily altered.
                    You can see at the edges of her body where they've literally trimmed pounds off her.



                    I agree the woman in the mail article looks normal, healthy and attractive. But that does not mean that as a nation we are not getting seriously fatter. If I buy vintage clothing there's no way I would fit a 1950s size 12, but now I take 8 or 10.
                    Also, she is 6'2". I am 5'2" and if I was a (today's) size 12 I would be approaching obese. I'd probably be at least half a stone heavier than I am now and be looking and feeling like a proper little doughball, and somehow not half as glam as she appears to be.

                        Where can you buy that, I could certainly do with some. Thank goodness women are allowed to wear trousers these days.

                        Just imagine if the Masters had access to this technology, we could have had:

                            The world is insane for sure! Ridiculous example we are setting our teenage girls.
