Lizzi Miller has a Pretty Smilegidget: It has been all over the media. You have seen her face. You have seen her thighs. She is a model in a magazine and she is not a size 2 or 0. Glamour magazine published a picture of a model who wears a size 12. OMG! stop the presses....i think she may even have a little tummy.

The first time I saw the picture of Lizzi Miller I noticed her pretty smile. I didn't even notice her tummy! No joke, i thought the pic was cute cause the model seemed to be genuinely happy. Now there is so much talk of her tummy. It must be weird to be her and have to talk about your own tummy on T.V! Anyway, the thing i found disheartening is that there are still so many people who feel the need to say that this picture presents an unhealthy body example. Some blogs even have commenter's arguing about whether she is healthy! Clearly, there is not enough of a variation in the women that are featured in the media if this can make such big news. The actual picture in the magazine is small! I am happy to see Glamour magazine taking a step forward in its portrayal of the female figure (one size does not fit all), let's just hope that they, and other magazines, keep it up!
