American Idol: The Best and the Worst
Are we all control freaks, or is flying just flying?

Rally for the “Plus-Sized” Girls!

Top Three

So, the America’s Next Top Model finale is tonight and we’re down to three contestants: Whitney (left), Fatima (center) and Anya (right). I, personally, am rooting for Whitney, the so-called “plus-sized” model. I put plus-sized in quotes because if you look at Whitney, there’s nothing plus-sized about her. To me, she looks like a healthy size 10. The typical American woman is a size 14, not the size 0 or 2 that the other girls are. Now I’m not taking anything away from Fatima or Anya, who have both taken amazing photos, but I think it’s about time that a normal-looking woman win this competition. Go Whitney!

    I agree. Go Whit! By far, the best personality, be sense of humor and best look out of all three of them. Fatima may be the second coming of Iman and Anya may be more “European,” but Whitney’s represents the all-around American girl. Can’t wait for tonight’s finale. I have a feeling Tiffany and I will be texting back and forth.

    i would have to agree with you guys, but i also have to over-complicate the argument a teensy little bit. first, lets not blame naturally skinny girls for their roll of the genetic dice. second, lets take a little responsibility for what “the average” american woman looks like. we could all eat a bit better and exercise a bit more. third, lets put some blame on those that control the media who are presenting this as the “idealized” type of beauty. fourth, lets take some responsibility and realize that we can have a modicum of control by turning off our tv/closing our magazines/etc. and fifth…

    LLUVY RULES!!!!!!!!!

    What did you say about eating better? (As I devour a Thin Mint Girl Scouts cookie.)

    A size 14 should not be the standard size. Maybe if you are a tall girl, then that is proportionate. Most women are between 5.3-5.8 and I’d say around a size 3 to an 8 is usually healthy. American’s are on a steady march towards obesity being the standard. I am not saying that size 0 is the ideal size, but a lot of people need to put their cheese burgers down and go for a jog. We are so unhealthy as a nation. I think we should encourage healthy exorcise and eating habits, not that bigger is better.
