I didn't watch America's Next Top Model this season. Partly, it's because I'm tired of the show, but mainly it's because my wife is tired of the show. Married guys know what I mean. So I didn't know who won until I read an article that said a plus-sized model won this year for the first time. The show's always had at least one plus-sized model in the ranks, and it always felt like a token, just like the token lesbian. A lot of people are hailing it as a sign of changing times. I was too until I saw the pictures of the winner, Whitney Thompson. I said "that's a plus size model?" She's a size 10! Maybe in the alternate reality of fashion, Whitney is morbidly obese, but I wouldn't even call her plump in the real world. Now Toccara Jones, that was a plus-sized model.

America's Next Plus-Size Model: Whitney Thompson

That is scary. I'd hate to think what they'd consider obese. Callista Flockheart? The cow!
True true
She looks like a cow! She is so fat it puts you off buying anything she is selling! People who say she is just plus size??? Forget it! She is fat as all hell!
