A U.S. size 16 model has slammed plus-size retailers for using models and in-store mannequins considerably smaller than the clothes they sell.

Alex LaRosa, 23, from Los Angeles, California, told the Huffington Post: that while fashion collections usually start at a size 14 they are displayed on dummies as small as a size 8.

She says this causes consumers to suffer from 'body image issues' as they set themselves 'unrealistic expectations.'

'You're telling women, "You want to look like these models. This is what you should look like, but it's never going to happen."'

Not sure if your monitor is big enough for the pic. Give me more russian girl pics.

I wonder if she ever entertained the idea that the models are based on the size of a normal healthy woman

EDIT: BTW, put a nsfw, or maybe nsf anywhere tag on this at least

Speaking of mannequins...

When I was in high school + college, whenever I was in a store with mannequins, I would have a buddy or girl take pics of me 'licking' the tits of mannequins.

Made for a hysterical photo collection, but alas, if they incorporate big boned ones, then I will have to abstain.

I have a feeling they would complain if the mannequins looked like this.

Her dress must be reinforced with carbon fibers to prevent her enormous gut from bursting through. I don't know if it's worse when the obese woman's fat accumulates at the waist or at the hips.

Yup, a moderate amount of daily exercise and decent eating habits are "never going to happen". I guess this is what their 'empowerment' is...trying to lower the bar instead of trying to meet it.

Not sure how unsafe for work it is since most people have fat chicks at work. But I was luckily able to edit it before it got locked in.

[Architekt]

It's more the not safe for eyes factor I was concerned about

She got second degree burns on her feet.

[Sebastian]

Would she complain to fast food restaurants? 'My burger never came out like the one in posters'

From her Model Mayhem page:

Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 200 lbs
Bust: 43"
Waist: 37"
Hips: 53"
CupD
Dress: 16

Being fat is a choice. It must be easier to change the world than to put the fork down.

[UnW]

Oh god, this is considered to be a "model"

[Hotwheels]

Add this to the "WTF mannequin list";



American Apparel goes for shock value apparently

Wait, what? Aren't there any women who wear clothing below 14? Even with size inflation that has happened in the last few decades, there still have to be lower clothing numbers like 6, 10 and so on.

Hotwheels, nice find.

If that were a real chick I'd happily hit it.

Please gentlemen, no movie references.

As a substitute, collect up empty junk food boxes and fast food weappers and photograph the plus-sized mannequins with them instead. It'll be more honest that way.

[Mekorig]

This "model" weight almost like me, and i am 13 cm higher....shit, she is a fricking whale!

The thirst of America knows no bounds if this butter troll can be a "model".

Argh, I had to bleach my eye balls. I wish guys would put a warning before posting pics of morbidly obsese women, it's enough to give one ED.
