   She is beautiful. But the magazine is full of ***t, claiming the credit for such an 'enlightened' approach by representing Everywoman, then back to business as usual with the stick insects parading through the rest of the pages.

   The article says she's 20 yrs old. Heck, I'm 47 and I have a tummy like that! She'd better start exercising or she's going to look really bad when she gets to my age.

   I have one of those also. Carrying two babies like a front end loader will do that to you.

   Does that mean I have no hope to be as skinny as her, Jadete?

   I think she is beautiful, too. I think it's nice to see a photo of a woman who is not stick-thin...and it certainly is nice for teen-aged girls to see. She looks healthy and vibrant. Jadete, I doubt that exercising would make much of a difference...she is slightly plump. She very well could have a six-pack underneath her layer of fat. But only weight loss would make her stomach flat. I find it refreshing to see a pic like this in Glamour magazine.

   I think that anytime there has been weight gain...then loss...the muscles definitely require a little exercise in order to flatten the tummy. With my second pregnancy (which presented problems throughout) I lost a few lbs. due to the diet I was given and yet I still needed to tighten my tummy muscles after such a stretching. This photo in this magazine is a true representation of real women...but I'm sure it will never become the norm for magazine modeling. There are too many years of preconceived notions of sex and sales. =(

   Completely true about the muscles, K...but she is only 20...kinda doubt she has went through pregnancy and/or lots of weight fluctuations...although it is a possibility, of course...

   Hahaha...She's only 20? Hmmmmm..I did not have a stomach like that when I was 20. Now...however, at age 58 it's a whole different story. That type of, excuse the term, flab, at that age, when the rest of her body looks reasonably toned, make me think she may have had a weight loss. I could be wrong.

    Her body type is probably what my body would be if I got down to my ideal weight, which for a woman who is 5'7" (1.7 meters) is 135 pounds (nearly 10 stone or 61 kilograms). I'd have the muffin top without the excuse of having had a bun in the oven. ;)
