12773371, I generally not one to check for big jawns, but Lane Bryant though Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Mon Apr-06-15 05:51 PM
got me reconsidering with these models.

I walked by a Lane Bryant store the other day and did a double take at the mannequins.
Mannequins in general are becoming more well endowed. I saw some like this on Fulton street the other day.

But I am off topic. I see you Lane Bryant.

12773377, These body types are less common/attainable than standard models' Posted by John Forte, Mon Apr-06-15 06:01 PM

12774798, EXACTLY. I'm all for appreciating these beauties, but this Posted by Jon, Tue Apr-07-15 10:26 PM
is always spun as some "realistic woman" shit.
Any woman can lose fat and work the muscles. Only a privileged few are blessed with the ability to store fat in a "curvy" way.
All women are real.
But if "realistic" refers to what any random woman can look like, this surely isn't it.

12774173, Man nah, I get it. They're pretty smart for it Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Tue Apr-07-15 02:11 PM
But not smart enough to outsmart all of us.
It's great that they're not just showing skinny ass models. But just like with Dove, they show the best of all ranges, while still making sure they have BOMB faces, no stretchmarks, not too much extra flab. Basically, as said, it doesn't look like a random assortment of their regular shoppers. If it did, it would have zero appeal.
|
12774195, I don't think they are trying to outsmart anyone tho... Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Apr-07-15 02:21 PM
plus sized MODELS...
MODELS!!!
and they bunched them together for a reason. Yall ran in here like "these aren't regular womens"
I know it's OKP but damn man.. yall will bang on anything.

what you have is a bunch of dudes firm in their i don't like fat women opinion not realizing yes those women are also considered fat no not just in the plus size modeling world its photography, lighting, retouching and now you see them trying to adjusting their oh "not fat fat" no THATS aiight (or acceptable) but yet and still gasping in horror when say JLo has an unretouched shot and theres cellulite
all women are real folks yes even the ones in pictures every one has bad fucking days there is a lot of work that goes behind ALL images put in front of you to sell a product NO ONE ESCAPES THE RETOUCHER WHEN MONEY IS ON THE LINE

12774266, Yooooooo. Chill the hell out for real. Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Tue Apr-07-15 03:00 PM
NOBODY is going that far.
Speaking for myself...I just realize that they still aren't showing ALL types of women, and that's it. I'm not at all on that whole "ughhh you see that Amber Rose pic with the cellulite, that's nasty" type shit at all.
I just think it's an interesting campaign that's still leaving plenty of women out, but showing enough different types to say "look, we're not just showing the bony women!" I'm not at all against it, it's surely better than the Victoria's Secret types that only show size 0.5.

12774282, Look at the OP, it's proof that it's slightly outsmarting some folks Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Tue Apr-07-15 03:04 PM
And I'm not at all mad, but it starts a (positive?) slippery slope...guys who may not check for bigger girls will see these here and say "damn, maybe I do like bigger chicks." But then it goes two ways...some will realize that these types aren't all that common, which is the "bang on" part you call out, and they'll still go back to the smaller ones they prefer. Or...they start on that slippery slope and end up being into bigger women. I know plenty dudes who got into them in a similar way, just not from this campaign.
It's not at ALL about us saying they aren't "regular"...but more so, that this body type and look isn't that common. Huge, huge huge difference. AND you're a buster for giving LFresh bait, LOL
|
12774307, my bad.. but I have been with a few plus size model types.. Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Apr-07-15 03:19 PM
they exist and they were fun... put a hurting on your boy in a good way.
I don't think this is going to do anything bad at all.
Some dudes will try it out and like it, some won't.
but to think this is going to damage people or give false hope is some bullshit.
We see these women everyday but we ignore them for the most part. Well, I'm down south so I don't ignore them and most dudes down here have no problem getting down with a plus sized girl.

though they ARE presenting a larger size, even though it's not a typical one
but the replies here just seem a bit extra in general, which sort of makes campaigns like this, while not ideal, refreshing to see because the scrutiny is off the chain. lol
|
12774331, no one is fooled... Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Apr-07-15 03:30 PM
this is some water is wet bullshit.
what kills me is the Black girl in the middle has her body hidden by 2 other models.
These women are pushed together so we can't see there flaws or curves yet people are acting like this body type isn't realistic?

|
12774386, no snark but these arent great bodies by american standards Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Apr-07-15 03:58 PM
I think y'all are doing a little too much to discredit this campaign.
maybe I'm reading this all wrong or Lane Bryant is for the morbidly obese but I'm not seeing what y'all are seeing.
I see pretty faces on big women in an ad campaign. Its like y'all want them ugly and broke the fuck down to be realistic about who they serve and that's fucked up.
big women should be able to have pretty big women as their models without being told it ain't the norm.
|
12774391, pretty much. IN GENERAL the masses don't look Posted by teefiveten, Tue Apr-07-15 04:02 PM
like those who are chosen to represent products
but theyre going especially hard in here to prove that point like we don't already know it
and a campaign like this, which again, is still just a campaign-a marketing ploy to sell because they are not in the self esteem business, they are in the business of selling clothing-sort of seems justified given the replies here. even if the campaign is insincere, it clearly has a place or serves a need b/c dudes in here going in hard
|
12774426, I dont even think its insincere... these women have flaws. Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Apr-07-15 04:21 PM
dudes ran in here like KIM these are great bodies...FOH.
I see handles, scars, the hunched over model pose while sucking in the gut and pressing on the stomach, size 16 hips.
and trying to say a skinny model type slow easier to find than these women?
LOL, dudes in here selling all types of dreams to stop guys from considering a plus size.

|
12774535, So the fuck what? Posted by SoWhat, Tue Apr-07-15 05:00 PM
It's still nice to see bigger women being held up as beautiful. It doesn't happen often enough. It could be that seeing this makes big women happy - it increases their self esteem maybe. Or at least doesn't hurt like the accumulation of all the other images with thin women held up as the height of beauty. This time it's bigger women. Good for them.

12774572, um, everyone but legs, sowhat, and the ladies here Posted by teefiveten, Tue Apr-07-15 05:18 PM
are reacting negatively
when smaller women are presented, apart from the outrageous TOKPR responses that are outliers ("she ain't that cute". "ive seen cuter girls at the piggly wiggly"), y'all are like
'FAT GIRLS DONT LOOK LIKE THAT'
'THIS IS A GENETIC BLESSING. NO REAL FAT GIRLS HAVE SMALL STOMACHS'
'WHY NOT GET THE REAL GREASY GUTBUCKET CHICKS WHO BUY THEIR SHIT IN THE ADS'
lol. like skinny girls can get the pretty fashion models and it's ok/typical but the fat girls can only get the most realistic depiction of themselves because they are fat and deserve no better. if that's not what you mean, that's certainly what it comes off as because if it was another type of ad that featured "normal sized" girls, i really doubt guys would be calling for the average chicks to be featured because the models are an unattainable dream. you'd be too busy focused on the models.
again, at this point i'd even go for a jade typhooning where y'all just posted up mad pics of Marquita Pring and called it a day than the shit y'all are saying right now

Most guys here seem to be saying that this is just another example of ad agencies using models with unattainable body types. Legs came in like "nope, they still fat. Flattering angles. Not good bodies" and somehow he's on the feminist side.
|
12774588, they are models but shape wise Posted by teefiveten, Tue Apr-07-15 05:30 PM
this isn't one in a million, as you said
people in here are making it seem like these aren't real 'fat' girls and that this is totally unattainable and they should present the 'real' fat girls who are not attractive and not as ideally shaped
no one is saying this when other, more "conventionally" sized women are posted up
so why now?
that's something women would be expected to do and y'all would say we are killing your fantasy
buy y'all in here killing something that wasn't even for you.

I thought about it and you're right. If I was on a website with a bunch of white dudes tawmbout "but these are exceptional hood negroes", I'd side-eye the shout out of them. I wasn't trying to imply that's the only way a big woman could be attractive, but I can see how it could come off that way.

I had an lfresh moment up in this bitch...lol
one in a million? Dudes really thought they were helping big women by shitting on this body type in an ad?
and somehow I was the one who was being negative by calling it like I honestly see it when compared to 99% of models in ads in America?
I see big women, one has a scar running up her entire mid section but since they have pretty faces dudes are in here on some "these are GREAT BODIES" because they feel guilty for feeling some sensation in their dicks.

12774602, See...this is COMPLETELY a matter of perception Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Tue Apr-07-15 05:48 PM
I was honestly lost on to what y'all were saying at first.
>are reacting negatively > >when smaller women are presented, apart from the outrageous >TOKPR responses that are outliers ("she ain't that cute". "ive >seen cuter girls at the piggly wiggly"), y'all are like > >'FAT GIRLS DONT LOOK LIKE THAT' > >'THIS IS A GENETIC BLESSING. NO REAL FAT GIRLS HAVE SMALL >STOMACHS' > >'WHY NOT GET THE REAL GREASY GUTBUCKET CHICKS WHO BUY THEIR >SHIT IN THE ADS'
I think the point I personally made was "these aren't what I would consider to be big/fat girls"...and that's literally it.
My first response was about a girl I dated who had this type size, and I was agreeing that it isn't a common size to find. Wasn't saying anything negative or even positive, but just noting that.
>lol. like skinny girls can get the pretty fashion models and >it's ok/typical but the fat girls can only get the most >realistic depiction of themselves because they are fat and >deserve no better. if that's not what you mean, that's >certainly what it comes off as because if it was another type >of ad that featured "normal sized" girls, i really doubt guys >would be calling for the average chicks to be featured because >the models are an unattainable dream. you'd be too busy >focused on the models.
BUT...here's the thing. We do see a LARGE VARIETY of "skinny" chicks. We get the boniest...to the slim, slightly toned, slightly curvy...to the very skinny yet curvy....to the normal, not really "skinny"...etc etc etc. So I actually see this from a whole different angle, which is "they are only presenting one type of 'big'...whether it's common or not." And I mention that it was smart to do, because these "big" chicks still have great appeal...yet, it is unfair to never show the range that big girls can have.
Like...when Monique had the big girls do Beyonce, I thought it was dope, and hilarious. No offense taken, no "ugh they're fat" at all. Yet, I can see some guys and even women saying "ugh, all these fat ass girls dancing, they need to stop." Now THAT is completely out of pocket, disrespectful. But this case here, maybe I was misunderstood on it, but was surely not seeing it the same way.

12774531, not unusual though Posted by teefiveten, Tue Apr-07-15 04:59 PM
i mean really apart from high fashion no one's using models and insulting the people they are selling to
but y'all are really coming out of the woodwork to discredit the possibility that there are actually some larger sized pretty women and that this is not only misleading, but the poor fat girls being duped into buying bras by a company trying to present an ad that might make them feel good about their bodies! sacre bleu!
you see this shit in 'normal' sized clothing ads and in beauty ads that feature 'normal' sized models come on now.
the point is, y'all are being extra. i'd even wish the post just remained to BGs original point where y'all just posted up some plus sized models and ogled. still backhanded complimenty as hell but at least somewhat appreciative. lol.

12774570, yeah im not taking one for the team here Posted by cgonz00cc, Tue Apr-07-15 05:18 PM
Mostly because i have no team. I have *my* thoughts on the way LB is doing business and thats about it.
if you feel someone is expressing disdain for large women, by all means, let it be known. But there is no way you could actually think thats what *I'm* doing.
>but y'all are really coming out of the woodwork to discredit >the possibility that there are actually some larger sized >pretty women
Dont yall me with that nonsense. Ive said nothing even remotely close to that. What I have said is that LB is using bodytypes just as fantastical as the company they are taking direct shots at. No more, no less.
>and that this isnt only misleading, but the >poor fat girls being duped into buying bras by a company >trying to present an ad that might make them feel good about >their bodies! sacre bleu!
Again, who are you lumping me in with? If a fat girl sees the ads and wants to go buy a bra, more power to her. Im not talking about people, im talking about corporate marketing.
>you see this shit in 'normal' sized clothing ads and in beauty >ads that feature 'normal' sized models come on now. >the point is, y'all are being extra. i'd even wish the post >just remained to BGs original point where y'all just posted up >some plus sized models and ogled. still backhanded complimenty >as hell but at least somewhat appreciative. lol.
i think extra is the amount of times you replied to me with you and yall despite the fact that almost nothing you typed actually applies to me. what i actually think is that all those women are hot period, with no qualifiers. I just tried to avoid giving any sort of personal judgment on them to avoid what just happened here.
My thoughts on lane bryants business practices have nothing to do with the way i feel about bigger girls, which for the record, is quite appreciative.

12774578, methinks you're trying to elevate a point no one else holds Posted by teefiveten, Tue Apr-07-15 05:22 PM
but you
you seem to be anti hypocrisy
the rest seem to be anti the idea that fat girls can
a)look this way b)can be marketed to in the same way "normal" sized women are marketed to (though I kind of feel you are a little in this b) category )

>but you >you seem to be anti hypocrisy >the rest seem to be anti the idea that fat girls can
>a)look this way
Of course they can. Just like VS customers can look like Brooklyn Decker. So why would LB criticize?
>b)can be marketed to in the same way "normal" sized women are >marketed to (though I kind of feel you are a little in this b) >category )
Obviously they *can* be marketed to this way. My only interest in this is that LB is pretending that they arent doing it when they obviously are, and taking shots at another company for doing the exact same thing albeit with a different target demo.
Up above you said that LB isnt in the self esteem business. They most assuredly are, and thats fine. Thats the dominant marketing strategy of our times. Im just saying they are trying to pull an okey doke. The fact that their target demographic is historically marginalized doesn't change that.
|
12774595, they are using self esteem to sell clothes Posted by teefiveten, Tue Apr-07-15 05:35 PM
they are not in the self esteem biz no more than any other clothing or beauty product is
they have to make the consumer feel good in order to sell. that's how it works. LB and Dove (who did a similar campaign) are just doing it differently to get attention. which is good for them. and their ad agency
again, you're sort of lumping yourself in with the rest of these guys unfortunately. you're presenting your point to say LB is going hard on the self esteem and they have to because they sell girls to fat women and they need the self esteem more! lol. stop.
no one is fooled by this ad. but the extent to which men in this thread, including yourself are going through to disprove it as if you're doing these women a favor by exposing this plot (lol), considering it's not even marketed to you, is just disturbing
|
12774599, same thing imo Posted by cgonz00cc, Tue Apr-07-15 05:41 PM
>they are not in the self esteem biz >no more than any other clothing or beauty product is
Very true, that level is 100% and you are correct that they are nowhere close to the only ones.
>they have to make the consumer feel good in order to sell. >that's how it works. LB and Dove (who did a similar campaign) >are just doing it differently to get attention. which is good >for them. and their ad agency
I agree, and up to this point i see nothing wrong with it. Its much better than using fear of being a loser, which is how a lot of companies sell things.
>again, you're sort of lumping yourself in with the rest of >these guys unfortunately. like LB is going hard on the self >esteem and they have to because they sell girls to fat women. >stop.
No no, thats not it. If this campaign had everything except the shots at VS i see no problems. Promoting imagery that makes fat women feel good about themselves is great. Pretending they are even a smidge different than VS however, is laughable.

I see ppl crossing that line a lot, and while the former is important and good for humanity, the latter is dangerous and sends the wrong message.
It should never be promoted as PREFERABLE to be less fit aka less healthy than you can be.
A lotta yall talk about paternalism and fucked up male ideals for women right? Just let society ever come to a place where overweight becomes the normal typical standard for sex symbols and sexiness, where women are discouraged from being healthier, where men complain that a girl isn't chunky enough and needs to stop trying to live long, then see the outrage. And that outrage would be just as justified as the mythological ultra-thin standard (which isn't actually our culture's sexiness standard, but just a way to display clothes on the runway).
