How in the world is this girl considered plus sized?

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/10/plus-size-model-robyn-...

She looks like a normal, healthy, young woman. And if you work out her height (6'2) with her weight (a US size 12/UK size 16 + around 88 kilos) She's got a healthy BMI of 24 (probably less).

So if Ralph Lauren is saying she is plus sized, does that mean this is normal?:

for the fashion industry she is oversized... although her proportions are perfect, and her height (6'2"!! Like a good male basketball player!) is balancing her body measurements. Now, imagine she is 5'3", with the same measurements.. she would look quite chubby, not to say fat.. Size 16 is still a big size...

The women are guilty. Why, oh why do they listen to the fashion designers? Even if Lagerfeld told me I was fat or skinny, I would say: Who are you? Are you God? As long as women are unsure about themselves, they WILL suffer. It's their own fault!!

Ah yes. It's really ridiculous, but it seems to be pushed by so many different aspects of the media. If you are not a size zero you are not: attractive, successful, smart, or a good person.

It also seems that if you push for women in the media to be healthier shapes and size, you are somehow promoting obesity, or "jealous" and "prejudice" against "naturally" thin women.

While I don't like to admit I watch the show, if you watch "Here comes Honey Boo Boo" you will see the mother consistently made fun of for her weight. (she is a large woman). It seems to be the only thing the media can focus on. Yet lets really look at her. Yes she's a bit uneducated, but she's managed to raise 4 very independent minded daughters, has a boyfriend who loves her, and now has a successful tv show. So should she just be considered a failure because she's fat?

Like Cameron Diaz, she can't act for toffee, but gets the role because of her looks.. (size)

Did i ever tell you about my Cuban Shotputter ?

most healthy males wouldn't find a size zero more attractive than a similar size one

i have no intention to read the article but just for the nude sake i read the whole article :-) ... n to my disappointment no nudity :-p

serious notes these so called brands wanna breed anoroxia in the society.... as now i know many families who just wanna see their daughters thin and like models are not even giving them any food..... and depriving them from their childhood memories of chocolates ....

to me model is smart with perfect curvey body...thats exactly how a woman should look like ...

That's because these bloody boxes are so small Brit. I couldn't fit my glass of gin in otherwise.

Sorry Brit, not sure what you mean by "pushed as an actress?"

As an aside.. Even you have gone for a size zero for an avatar :O)

Plus sized?? Her?? No waayy! That's just another gross distortion of body image from media. To make plus sized women feel even worse :/

Stoopid media.

I'm sure that it has an affect on men too.. For example,

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a size zero who was pushed as an actress just because of her physique.

Who cares Brit? Adele's got a cute face, charming personality and a beautiful voice... fair enough!

Well the brainwashing must be coming from somewhere Brit? Is it that men want size zero women?

I don't know any woman who thinks that size zero is perfect. If you look at the comments on the articles, most women are just as outraged as I am that this girl is considered plus sized.

she is considered plus size because she is not a size zero.

Sadly, women must take most of the blame for this because they keep buying into the size zero image of being the perfect woman.
