Darn you Sports Illustrated!

If you haven't heard (and many of you in AUS won't know) Sports Illustrated releases its annual swim suit edition next week and it is going to have three different covers:
1 - the classic anorexic model
2 - a sporty lady
3 - for the first time, a plus size model

I can't decide if I am happy that a cover FINALLY portrays women in a more realistic way or be bitterly disappointed that now overweight women are exploited the same way underweight women are?????

The model, Ashley Grahm is stunning and a size 16 - I am a 16 and I do not look like that while I frolic in the ocean. She has great body image and for that I applaud her. I am also happy the SI has put other body shapes on the cover.  Why this issue is necessary is a whole other discussion.

Finally I will just note that the sporty person is a MMA athlete, Ronda Rousey.  Her swimsuit is actually just paint on her body so good on you girl!  That is working out and making it look good!
