what about dove's "real women" ads? the first time i saw them, i thought, "those are not the kind of "real women" i see every day," because they're all still gorgeous and i doubt any of them was over a size 12, but i'm sure they've been retouched, etc, so i don't feel quite so bad.

I liked the Shanghai incarnation of this ad campaign the Banterist guy posted:

I'm sure no one's dog could look that hideous.

Also The Largest Woman I Think Is A 10

Please tell me US sizes are way different to AU's - a size 10 here is someone who weighs 90 pounds soaking wet.

Ha ha, we were taught actual proper Heat Magazine modelling tricks on Sunday as to how to look better in magazines. It's all about the angle of your upper torso to your neck. and bloody uncomfortable to stand like that, too.

US sizes are very, very different from AU's.
