PLUS SIZE MODELS? Oh my what an awful thought. This is a lot like beer and chocolate it's just not right. I'm not going to sit here and be all politically correct for the sake of votes. I am going to tell the truth, the way we all really feel about things.

-Reality-
There I was watching U.F.C. on the 'Spike Network' when they break for commercial. That's when I saw it the latest Victoria's Secret ad spot featuring the sexiest model ever Adriana Lima. Wow! Just then something began to happen to me. You guessed it certain parts of me started to experience rigor mortise. Man I could totally stare at her for hours. Thank god for DVR and pause.

-Alternative-
Same scenario only this time Adriana weighs 240 pounds and has more rolls then a bread factory. Gross! Again something begins to happen to me. The six pack I'd been enjoying decides it wants out the same way it went in. Like watching a train wreck I look again trying to fast forward but no luck this is live T.V.

Sexy is an image and no man with his head screwed on straight imagines Rosanne Barr while alone in the shower. Sex sells and clothing designers want to sell a product. It would be bad business for Georgio Armani to put his latest dress on a four legged cow. So why put it on a two legged one? Keep the plus size ladies behind the cash register not on the runways.
