Dear Readers…
Thank you for all of the emails about the PLUS Model Magazine editorial featuring 8 plus size nude models! We have been praised by many for featuring beautiful women ‘au-natural’ and chided by some who thought that the models were not big enough… thanks for the feedback on this… we ARE listening!
On a recent show, Ellen DeGeneres sat down with Glamour Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive to:
1) Reveal the image of 7 nude plus models appearing in an upcoming issue (after the highly acclaimed success of Lizzie Miller’s nude shot – go Lizzie!), and

To be honest I think that glamour could have used more variety of plus size women. I feel that it is in the right direction but I feel that could have used more shapes. I personal do not find those models plus size. They could have also used women who are , pear shaped triangle shape hourglass etc, and more.I fell glamour does not get it just yet. I still feel that they are afraid to go bigger. I hope the next time they do that again they will used different types of shapes to showcase different sizes.
