Speaking of vanity & sizing..I'm not applauding Sports Illustrated for putting a "plus size" model on their cover, considering they photoshopped away much of her "plus size" figure.

Did they really? I thought she looked pretty curvalicious. But it's hard to tell on a tall size 14 gal.
OMG can we just go to hip and inseam sizes like men's pants already? Please?
Hear hear. H was talking today about needing new pants, I'm all "well, can I get them for you?" "Sure! I'm a 34, 34 style whateverxyz." Me ..... Not. Fair.

I wouldn't say they made her stick thin, she's still curvy, but she definitely doesn't look like a size 16. I saw a clip of her in a Lane Bryant (I think?) runway show and she certainly looked MUCH curvier. Maybe she toned up some before the shoot, but I've still got a feeling there's some photoshop involved.

This might be unpopular but I guess that's the point.
I think that thin shaming is just as inappropriate as is any other weight shaming. It's not cool and it does hurt. We are all different shapes and sizes and making comments such as someone should "eat a burger", or "gain some weight", or inappropriately using the term anorexic, or suggesting they aren't desirable because they lack curves - these are all forms of shaming and I think it all needs to stop - thin, healthy, overweight - who cares, do you.

I thought shaming people for their appearance is pretty popular..no?
ETA: I worded this wrong. I thought it was a popular opinion to not shame people for their appearance. Y'all know what I mean.

What I thought might be unpopular is if others thought that one isn't as bad as the other

I agree. I understand that people on the opposite end of the weight spectrum are generally the ones who get the most hurt by society and media standards, but deeming that naturally thin ladies aren't "real women" is hurtful too.
000 should not be a size - people are not significantly smaller than they were 15 years ago and the vanity sizing needs to be reined in. There is probably a reason that 000 and 00 are the only sizes available in everything I want on sale at J. Crew.

But this allows me to buy adult pants......
I have no problem with the physical size of that item, but calling it 000 is just crazy. I was a size 4 in high school when I weighed 90 lbs. I'm a size 4 now and I weigh 130. I have not gotten any taller. This is the problem - it's silly that we've let the number attached to the tag get so skewed.

Yes the vanity sizing thing is weird... completely agree.
