That's so true. Beyonce is not THE real woman. My body type is closer to Marisa's...I am thin and toned and athletic. Many of my girl-friends are. And we can turn quite a few heads. And we are as real as it gets. Just because many women in North America are overweight, doesn't mean that's how a woman is supposed to be. A thin, athletic person can be healthy and look great, so stop calling Beyonce "the real woman". I am not saying she is fat, but just because she has a different body type than many models, and just because many women in North America are on the heavier side like she is, doesn't make them better. She doesn't seem fit enough to be on teh cover of SI and that's that.
