I've said it before and I'll say it again, this entire lets put "plus size" gals in the magazine seems like yet another money grab, a gimmick to make us regular shaped people feel a little better about themselves which can translate to more women and men who might be a little larger buying the magazine. The issue of hiring girls like Mia Kang is a whole other ball of shit I just don't want to touch... @ILUVAdrianaLima does though
In closing
SI used to be about worshipping a (beautiful) woman's body as an ideal of perfection, however unattainable it was/is.
