Which is more important size or talent?

Telemind · 11-07-2007, 01:06 AM

Should being a plus size matter, or is talent more important to winning this competition?
How many of you wish that models were not as thin as in previous years? What should be considered a normal clothing size? Let's set the record straight and tell the clothing designers what the public would like to view in the future.

good post. it makes me kind of crazy that the models that they consider plus sized are actually regular sized. I'd like to see the 8/10 girls considered normal.

I feel that size shouldn't matter. If the model is good, she should advance. The truth is that the average woman is who reads magazine and buy clothes, not the size zeros of the world. Wouldn't you want a model that the REAL women of the world can relate to?

Agree.
And I think being plus sized doesn't matter. As long as they are good at what they do.

It's about the talent. Size really should not matter at all. I honestly don't think many would mind seeing a bigger girl wear those clothes and be on advertisements.

I don't know why they bother putting plus sized models in the comp - none of them will ever win, it feels mean to cast them when they have no chance *don't get me wrong - I'd love to have seen Whitney win - I loved her*

but she won that cool challenge...you know..the one where they had to lyk work there way under lights and stuff..
but i think , well, to me, the preferred model is plus sized! skinny just isnt as attractive as plus size in my opinion, and talent is alot more important anyway
