^ in the non photoshopped pictures she has dimples and ripples and flab. Thats what the PPs are arguing. This isnt a win for women. Its more unattainable photoshopped bullshit.

Well, one thing Sports Illustrated and other publications know how to do is shoot in sunlight. Why do you think there's always someone just hanging out with that big white sheet thing? And someone else with a little silver colored reflector- they know how to shoot to minimize cellulite.

It would be great if they left it in, but cellulite really has nothing to do with weight. Smaller women have it too and they edit it out for them as well

I showed DH these pictures and his response was she's way too fat to be in a bikini. Kate Upton is the ideal sized SI model- bigger than the runway models but still fit. This woman is not fit.

And we should care about your DH's opinion...why?

So yay way to go SI, make women who are a size 16 feel like shit because they don't look like her perfect pictures

If they were trying to photoshop her jiggly bits out, they would have gone to town on this pic and the cover.

But they didn't.

As pp said, the other photo was a result of a model who knows her angles. But they chose Ashley for this spread FOR her jiggly bits

Her skin has been smoothed out in both shots as well as slimmed down.

Look at her legs on her instagram:

I actually think she looks about the same in that photo as the similarly angled one for SI, except that in this her bikini bottoms are pulled up at the sides for some reason, giving her the appearance of a rounder belly.

Anyway, people look different in different photos. There are also ones on her IG where she looks slimmer than she does in SI. What's your point?

You think those legs look similar to these?


Okay.

It's all about angling.

They are the same size as in this photo:

Where she is doing a similar pose.

And like I said, she actually looks much smaller in many of those photos on her IG.

I think SI picked a great selection of photos that show off her true weight in really seductive pictures, just like they do with the smaller sized models. Awesome.

I am a photographer and agree a lot of it is lighting and positioning. However, this image is photoshopped. If you look at the leg sticking out, there are a couple areas above the knee have these odd bumps. That is what happens when you use the liquify tool and do not even it out properly. There is a smoothness to the edges. Also, I do not think there was too much airbrushing here, but the definitely slimmed down the legs a little bit.

She has very sexy curves...I just love her hips to waist ratio. And I love her natural boobs. She is really hot.

Yikes.

No.

She's gorgeous and I wish I looked like her at her size. I have been a 16 since having kids (and I'm tall) and based on her photos I'd say she is maybe a size 16 Old Navy, but otherwise most likely larger than 16. If her numbers indicate health than you go girl! She's hot and I'm glad to see her showing that beauty is not just bone thin.

Actually if you check out her Instagram, there is a video of her working out doing squat thrusts, and kettle bell weights, and I would say she is quite fit. Not skinny, but from the standpoint of fitness, she is fit.

If she were your daughter, would you encourage her to wear a bikini with those "curves?"

Hell no. She should not be flaunting her body. She's got a beautiful face and with some flattering clothes on, she'd look great. A chubby woman in a bikini is not a good look.

I wouldn't. I'd encourage her to lose some weight.
