O Magazine just hit stores with its first ever nude photo shoot enclosed, depicting Katie Halchishick, a plus-sized model and founder of the site “Healthy Is The New Skinny,” naked and covered in dotted lines that suggest what a surgeon might have to “cut away” to give her the same proportions as the doll she’s holding. The photo is a striking depiction of the warped beauty standards that women hold ourselves up against; if a gorgeous model is this far from what our cultural icons dictate as ideal, what hope do the rest of us have?

If she’s a plus-size model, I’m downright obese (and I’m a normal weight for my height!).
What’s ridiculous is that Katie is considered a plus size model. What in the world?
I agree with Veronica. How in God’s name can someone say she is plus size and why do we let people put labels on everything?
