I don't get it. I know some fat women. They do shit like that.

One fat woman has for print car seat covers and little cow figurines all over the place. another's tiresome kind of fondness for piglets.

Fat women are self concious. I don't understand why they would co everything possible to distance themselves from the porcine/bovine communities.

Aloha!

In the 1970s, the fashion industry promoted Twiggy which brought in the thin look. I thought she was unhealthy and way to thin. Now they are going in the other direction and promoting fatness. The commonality is that they are both unhealthy.

Already a done deal. This is from a thread I started back in 2015. Not as yuge as Tess but still.



EDIT:

Some funny quotes in the article about how she "tries" to workout every few weeks.

Unhealthy?



This looks like what a slim young woman would should look like



When I was in high school and college girls built like this :



were considered fatties. They'd be background noise at best

I know "beauty" is subjective and all but I often have to bite my tongue when I see some emphatic "WB"s in the"Would you hit it?" thread and some of the posts in the What Do You Guys Consider a 10 thread?

Id be curious to see if there's a correlation between age group and "ideal".

Specifically for example: Do younger guys tend to have a preference for "thicker" asses as their ideal versus older guys?

I think it would be a good cultural experiment to see if the "fat acceptance" movement is working

Twiggy is now pushing age 70. And while she's no knockout (never was, really), I bet most every man here would rather get with her than the landwhale featured on this thread if they had to choose.

The fat Comso girl's septum piercing/horrible fat-displaced tattoos aside, I'd still take her over Twiggy.

But my name should also be Captain Ahab.

The editor of Cosmo during the 60's and on to 1997 is an interesting story. What she did during the sixties was, in its day, as degenerate as what is happening now to the magazine, so if you take that into account, what we are seeing here is continuity and not aberration.

Before she became editor of Cosmo, she wrote a book, in 1962 for god's sake, well before the sexual revolution was mainstream, called:

Wikipedia entry: Sex and the Single Girl

Quote:Sex and the Single Girl is a 1962 non-fiction book by American writer Helen Gurley Brown, written as an advice book that encouraged women to become financially independent and experience sexual relationships before or without marriage. The book sold two million copies in three weeks,[1] was sold in 35 countries[2] and has made the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times and Time bestseller lists.

This is kind of chilling to read, and reminds me of patient zero of the AIDs epidemic, that gay flight attendant, fucking everything in sight, hopping on a plane, and then doing it all again on another continent.

Cosmo was the internet for young woman from the 60's well into the 90's. IT was where they went for information about how to transition from being a teen to an adult.

So then she goes on to become the editor of Cosmo, and how is this for an inception story:

Wikipedia Entry: Cosmopolitan Magazine

Starts as a family magazine:

Quote:Cosmopolitan began as a family magazine, launched in 1886 by Schlicht & Field of New York as The Cosmopolitan.[4]

Paul Schlicht told his first-issue readers on the inside of the front cover that his publication was a "first-class family magazine", adding, "There will be a department devoted exclusively to the concerns of women, with articles on fashions, on household decoration, on cooking, and the care and management of children, etc. There was also a department for the younger members of the family."[5]

Later becomes a literary magazine:

Quote:Other contributors during this period included O. Henry,[10] A. J. Cronin, Alfred Henry Lewis, Bruno Lessing, Sinclair Lewis, O. O. McIntyre, David Graham Phillips, George Bernard Shaw, Upton Sinclair, and Ida Tarbell. Jack London's novella, "The Red One", was published in the October 1918 issue[11] (two years after London's death[12]), and a constant presence from 1910–18 was Arthur B. Reeve, with 82 stories featuring Craig Kennedy, the "scientific detective". Magazine illustrators included Francis Attwood, Dean Cornwell, Harrison Fisher, and James Montgomery Flagg.[citation needed]

Quote:With a circulation of 1,700,000 in the 1930s, Cosmopolitan had an advertising income of $5,000,000. Emphasizing fiction in the 1940s, it was subtitled The Four-Book Magazine since the first section had one novelette, six or eight short stories, two serials, six to eight articles and eight or nine special features, while the other three sections featured two novels and a digest of current non-fiction books. During World War II, sales peaked at 2,000,000.[citation needed]

Oh well, there is plenty more at that link.

A perfect example of how little by little degeneration pushes the limits just a bit at a time until you get a cover featuring a hog that Kona would be proud to roast at a Luau.

The only positive you can say about the editor Brown is that she can be used to counter all the glass ceiling people, because she just went and did it without whining, using her feminine strengths to get what she wanted.

I have read accounts that she had her office done up in a hyper feminine style, with frills and doilies and fragile looking furniture that made visiting businessmen uncomfortable, worried that they might break the chair they were sitting in, and willing to agree to deals quickly just to get the hell out of there.

If you are going to be a female business leader, that is how you do it, not demand quotas of female CEOs. Play to your own strengths instead of acting scared of offices with big desks and dark wood paneling.

Still, it is hard to chart the damage she has done to the world view of several generations of women.

I also heard Demi Moore on a talk show, many years later, describe a meeting with Brown who was by that time a desiccated birdlike crone, when she walked into Brown's office, Brown looked her up and down, and said, my, you look. . . .healthy.

The interviewer asked her if it intimidated her and she said no, but she had to give the old lady credit for coming up with a new way of calling someone fat.

Even in her old age, she was swinging for the bleachers, going after the one thing she had over Moore, skinniness.

Too bad all of that intelligence and energy was used to drag the girls down.

Can you imagine if GQ Magazine put a 500 lb obese man on the cover? That would NEVER happen. I Goggled "GQ cover" and every guy on the cover is at least decent looking, dresses to the nines, and NOT fat by any means of the imagination. The few women on the GQ cover have been thin and attractive.

From a purely modeling/photographer standpoint, Tess Holliday can't pose for shit. She's so obese, it has severely limited her range of movement. Notice how her hand is oddly pressed into her stomach, like she doesn't quite know what to do with it.

For all the chatter about her "confidence," she looks awkward and uncomfortable in her body.

Contrast Holliday's Cosmo cover with that of Cindy Crawford's, which debeguiled posted on the first page. Crawford poses easily, effortlessly, naturally. Holliday looks like a fat woman who has a difficult time standing.

No. It doesn't really work that way. Women are the ones who try to lower the bar to make things easier for them. Even soyboys know on some level they're inferior specimens.

GQ is for gay men. Gay men are still men. If there are no women around, why are they going to pretend to be attracted to fatties?

Either way with Twiggy. She is still alive.
Highly doubt Tess will make it past 50 at this rate...

Yep. Market forces for GQ. Gay men & women.

Before you read my comment, hit that Wikipedia link. Then look up the author.

Notice anything about her background or how the book got popularized?

At least she would have been able to roll down hill in return.


If I was influential at Michelin tyres; I'd be so damned tempted to promote the idea of Tess as being the new face of Michelin, to then see how long it takes for the usual crowd to cause a fuss.
You wouldn't even need to spend as much on the marketing campaign.
The "outrage" alone would give you plenty of free publicity.

You're on the right path here, but I think a better analogy would be with those Hallmark Channel romance movie that are so popular with women.

Each movie features a different type woman (blonde, brunette, older, short-haired, athletic, a little chunky) but the male lead is always trim and at least 6' tall.

Would this channel make a fat man the male lead? Or would they make a 5'5" guy like Danial Radcliffe the romantic lead? My guess is "no," because the network would worry that women would not watch and/or would not want to be preached to.

Which brings us to a bigger point. "The culture."

I don't like it when people point fingers at "the culture," because people are the culture. But the U.S. is different in some respects.

For some reason, this culture sees fit to lecture to men as to what they should like, but thinks of women's preferences as "the norm." So you have a point. Who is to say that Tess Holliday should be the norm, but Seth Rogan or Daniel Radcliffe should not be?
