Hello Mark; I was totally disgusted with the model
showing off the fat and Cellulite on the Runway.

I am not thin, I am a little on the heavy side and
that's the way it is. But I don't go around with panties cutting in the fat. I think it is a matter of
dressing in good taste.

There are all these people going on about oh how
skinny, skinny and on and on. Well it that is the
how come we see so many Piggies on the street in
track pants, bellies hanging out it is disgusting.
I don't think we should be encouraging it all!

I think these woman were the typical size of most women. While they weren't dressed in flattering clothes, it's a great step in the right direction.

I am sick of all these weird skinny body types being everywhere. EVERYWHERE! Cartoons, little girls's dolls, movies, tv, commercials, billboards. Honestly nobody looks like that! If you go back into history and look at paintings of naked women that were condisdered BEAUTIFUL, they were about size 6 or size 8 with plenty of curves. They did not have super flat stomachs and their thighs weren't sculpted.

Women like you Suzanne are buying into this craze for super skinny women. There is nothing wrong with showing normally sized women. It doesn't encourage people to be obese. We see skinny women all over the advertising world but that doesn't encourage people to lose weight, it encourages people to feel bad about themselves.

I applaud Mark and his efforts!
