I need a tan!

Awesome. She's beautiful.

I know beauty is subjective but every straight man I've ever known has preferred that body type to stick thin with bolt on boobs.

I wonder how their sales will be.

As a bi woman, I can attest to that!

Curves all day, every day. Please.

A little chunky, but she's hot!

Wow, a big step forward (no pun intended). She's beautiful.

The end of an institution. Sad that SI has caved to this sort of pandering.

I'm a straight woman and find this revolting. I have an obese son, who struggles with thyroid issues as well as my family's endocrine issues. I know the pain and health issues he's suffered over the years due to his obesity. It should not be celebrated.

I agree.

Size 16 is not a healthy weight.

With the obesity epidemic in this country, we should not be normalizing a size 16 as a desireable body.

But we've been normalizing and celebrating size 00 for years. Why is it only disgusting and pandering only on one side of the BMI scale?

A lot of suffering comes from trying to fit an unrealistic (and equally unhealthy) body "ideal".

Then use a size six to size ten model.

This lady is at an unhealthy size. We have an obesity epidemic in this country, not a too thin epidemic.

You should educate yourself a bit more. She looks like she gains weight in her hips and thighs which actually makes her healthier than someone who is a size 8 or 10 and carries their weight in the midsection. Do you know her cholesterol numbers? Blood sugar? Blood pressure? No. While there is a pretty damn good chance no one will believe me, I was almost 300 pounds and still considered medically healthy. All my numbers were normal. I have lost over 100 pounds and of course they have lowered significantly and I feel better. My sister was almost 300 pounds and had tons of medical issues. The difference? She carried all her weight in her mid section.

There have been studies recently that have suggested being a bit overweight is actually much healthier for you. Obesity is a serious issue, but I would not look at someone who is a size 16 and say they are disgusting and obese. Now when you start to get to size 20 and above (depending on someones height of course) you are starting to get into a very bad place. Not all people are built the same. If someone at size 16 is comfortable in their own skin and they are taking care of themselves, we should learn to celebrate them instead of tear them down because of what WE think they should look like.

Here's the problem. They do 00 or "overcompensate" with 16.

Give me a nice 6 or 8 like Liz Taylor, Marilyn, Jayne Mansfield...

You people are crazy. That woman is gorgeous, and not at all "chunky" - curvy, yes. She is probably a size 16 because she is 6 feet tall, making her the equivalent of a size 8 on an average height 5'4" woman. The interesting part to me is that she doesn't really have muscle definition (although I have never seen an SI cover before so I have no idea if the models usually do).

She's beautiful. I wish that I looked like that at a size 16!

I don't think she is obese at all. And I think she looks a lot healthier than the women who starve themselves down to skeletons and then pump their boobs and face up with plastic and gels.
