Good lord that's ridiculous. And who do we have to blame? The designers? Or the people buying the clothes? Hell I look like Wanda the Wale compared to that.

I thought americans as a whole are bigger than we were in the 80/90s so I am surprised about that. of course most fashions are for girls in 20s and in my 20's I was size 3-5.. I am still same size except ya have to take out the - LOL

The average American has gotten bigger. The American ideal has gotten smaller.

I think I have read that the average American woman is now a size 12. That would mean that the average American woman is plus sized.

QVC uses plus sized models that are actually wearing plus sizes.

I heard Tyra say on some show that Sarah was 150 pounds. If that's plus size, I must be super plus size! That's just sick and wrong to think 150 is plus size! eta the show was ET when they did the reveal of the contestents.

"of course most fashions are for girls in 20s and in my 20's I was size 3-5.. I am still same size except ya have to take out the - LOL" Oh Pamy...you have me rolling with laughter! I didn't see a plus size model among them...not saying one of them isn't labeled that..just saying????? Where's the Plus? I call size 12's skinny, you know what I'm talking about? A 14, and you are a woman with curves! Anything less than a 10....well you all know what we call them....LOL

Saleisha & Kimberly are my top picks right now, they stand out to me based on just the pictures above alone. Kimberly looks like someone, perhaps an actress or something, or maybe a little like Adrienne Curry, the first ANTM winner. Sarah and Lisa also may prove to be interesting contenders. Sarah reminds me a lot of the actress that plays "Charlotte" on Sex in the City.

I think most of these young ladies look like the other young ladies who have been on the show already.

I can't wait either. I have a class tonight, but am going to jet early in order to see this from the beginning. It's my extremely guilty pleasure for the TV season.

I'm ambivalent so far. Need to get a better feel for them.

The audition process was actually nice to watch for once. I was pulling for so many of the girls that I wanted more than 13 of them to be picked! I'm just really not understanding their decision to pick both Mila and Kimberly. Throughout the whole audition process I just could not see them as models. I would have LOVED to see Tyra choose Marvita and that bronx chick in their places. Oh well.....it's done. My favs so far are Jenah and Victoria. Jenah's eyes are very striking imo. Victoria reminds me A LOT of Shandi. Her body shape is similar and I just get a general feeling that she is a diamond in the rough. (or "diamond in the rust" as said by one of the beauties in beauty and the geek last night!lol) BTW Where is the Beauty and the Geek thread???
