See this is where i disagree. Isn't this just perpetuating the whole myth?? I don't think clothes look better on skinny girls - I think we are so used to seeing skinny girls in all the gorgeous clothes we think it's the norm. I see Victoria Beckham and don't wish I could look like her in her clothes - I think jeans, etc look much nicer on a woman with booty and curves. Ditto with swimwear etc - if a woman has a healthy body, with nice skin why shouldn't she advertise lingerie, etc??

I don't advocate obesity, but I think if there were more 'normal' sized people shown wearing clothes maybe we wouldn't have such unrealistic expectations of ourselves.
