Wow that is what a size 10 looks like? She looks great!
Calvin Klein usually has very thin models, so compared to the size 0, she may look "plus" size.
ANY size is beaitful. As long as you are healthy.......

Me too! And before I turned
Me too! And before I turned 30, met DH and quit smoking I was always a size 2. I think this model looks way better then I do now!
However I think its really messed up how we see ourselves. No matter what size we are, we still see ourselves as "bigger".
I read an interesting article
I read an interesting article once about how we perceive we look vs. how we really look. They took an average woman and took her picture every day for a month. She kept a log of how she felt about herself each day, so day one she wrote that she felt really good in this particular outfit and loved the way these jeans fit her. Day five, she felt fat and bloated, day 8 her hair looked like crap and she felt like crap etc.
The crazy thing was that when you looked at the month's worth of pictures, she looked the SAME (other than her clothes changing)

Plus sized models are usually
Plus sized models are usually a size 10 - 14. The fashion industry is whacked up. Real plus size is 16W and up. Even models for plus sized clothing stores/catalogs are size 10 - 14 and most of them are hourglass shaped. Within the plus size world there is discrimination. Magazines and catalogs catering to the plus world doesn't show apple or pear shaped women.
I agree that this does include more of a breadth of sizes in marketing.
Calvin Klein does have a plus size line that goes up to size 26W.
