Here's a thought...the only way to hit a corporation is in their wallet. So, if all the women who aren't shaped like this stopped shopping there... Maybe they would fix their models and ads. Honestly, how many woman after having children look like this? 19 year olds maybe? Which, btw, all of their models are young. Who makes the money that can afford their prices? Not 25 year olds. Stop shopping their and supporting them and they can clean their act up.

I can't say that this picture is totally wrong but really how hard would it be to add a girl with a little more meat on her bones, she could still be fit but she could just not have ribs showing that is all I am saying.

The body by Victoria line actually carries the widest variety of sizes as compared to some of their other lines up to size 40 DD. Although I don't agree with shaming people for their body type or promoting unhealthy ways at achieving a slim figure the fact is that the United States is rapidly becoming the nation of obesity. Some of this I'm sure is related to all the PC bs that tells everyone it's OK to be overweight and moreover you should be proud of it! Unfortunately that is an extremely unhealthy message which is leading the way to Diabetes and Heart Failure! If you actually look at someone who's weight is in line with the medical standard of normal healthy weight, that body would look very similar to the one on the ad. So do I think they are shaming women, absolutely not. I am not at my ideal weight but I'm not offended nor encouraged to starve myself when I see the ad. Oh and as an FYI for those of you who don't know, Anorexia and bulimia most times stems from a desire to have control over something. Control over what they do and don't put in their mouths is sometimes the only thing young people (both boys and girls) can control.

If your beautiful and you know it - show it! Genetics is amazing! Lets say these girls represent 3% of the world population, right?!

I never understood my Great grandfather's remark about Betty Gable's legs...
"Nice pins". Now looking at the uber skinny thighs on some of the models, they do resemble old fashion clothes pins.

Relax. Understand the power of airbrushing. It's just an illusion, folks.
