Tyra's teen plus-size model search
This is quite interesting. Tyra Banks is holding a plus-size model search; but not just any model search - a plus-size teen model search.
This is wonderful to hear. Young girls need to see full-figured models their size. The first question is undoubtedly, "Will she only be looking for faux-plus girls?" Well, not according to her Twitter announcement: http://twitter.com/tyrabanks/status/8213666966 It reads: Quote:
I love the fact that at least size 12 is the bottom cutoff. I wish it were 14, but it's better than what we've seen in some seasons of ANTM. Also, I like that the upper parameter is size 20. Wouldn't it be thrilling if the chosen girl were at or near the higher size? Here's the page with information about how to enter, and what the prizes will be: http://www.tyra.com/view/PLUS_SIZED_CONTEST |

Re: Tyra's teen plus-size model search
Even regular 'bloggers find it absurd to call such small models plus-size. Here's the CW 'blog about the model search:
http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsour...del_tyra_g.html Note the incredulity at the size parameters: Quote:
Of course, size 12 is not plus-size (let alone anything smaller than that), and the 'blogger's eye-roll at having size 12s included represents what most people feel. That's why I hope that the winner will be at least be a size 14 -- and preferably fuller-figured than that. |
