  • I would love to make love to all of them lol. They're confindent, beautiful and über sexy young women.

  • Queen Latifah = plus-sized. These women = skinny to average.

  • It still makes my angry that plus size models are slim.... HOW ARE THEY EVEN PLUS SIZE?!

  • It's a sad, sad, sad world where these women are considered plus sized.

  • Seriously? On taller women, it's ridiculous to be expected to be a size 0. The taller you are, the bigger your frame is. It's common knowledge. The industry needs to realize that big is beautiful. There's nothing wrong with being a size 12, 14, 16, or even bigger.

  • This is so great to see

  • As much as I love Fashion, the industry is so ass backwards. Women have curves, hips, breasts, thick thighs, etc. There is nothing wrong with being slim, but the shoving of slim women down normal sized womens throats is what makes it bad. Designers need to understand Models model their clothes but normal sized women buy them. You want to design for women than you design for our curves also, it's what makes us women.

    All these women are normal size, not PLUS.

  • They are not plus size sorry

  • THIS IS NOT PLUS SIZE. THEY LOOK ABOUT SLIM TO AVERAGE, WTF?!?!?!

  • SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH. STUPID GAY DESIGNER WANTS HIS MODELS TO LOOK LIKE THIN MENS, BECAUSE THEY LIKE MENS, WE LIKE CURVES OR HEALTHY WOMANS NOT WOMANS WHO TRY TO LOOK LIKE THIN MENS, THIS WOMANS ARE PERFECT, NOT DISGUSTING ANOREXIC LIKE "SUPERMODELS"

  • great vid. 

  • Crystal lost a lot of weight since this interview... she's not a plus size model anymore.

  • One of the things I love about this is that all of the women seem to be well spoken, intelligent people. Finally, an excellent representative of the modelling industry!

  • Thats so NOT plus sized!!

  • im using the photo's shown here, along with the topic of 'fake models' vs 'real models' as inspiration as my illustration piece for my university coursework. i have to illustrate anything to do with the word 'Fake'. i am exited about this topic xxxx

  • that's not really plus size

  • thats plus sized...?

  • Crystal Renn was a size 00?! she looks amazing at THIS size... wow....

  • Its kinda cool how the audience gos "ohhh!" when they see crystals anorexic picture. It shows people are awear that thats not normal

  • Those are plus size models????.... like really?????? what i fucking wrong with the world?? they look like everyday woman. Im a size 8 and i have NEVER been called fat in my life.

  • I just ate a cookie xD

  • I'm an aspiring plus sized model. I'm no size 6. That's seriously industry standard? I'm a sixteen. It's so hard to actually find an agency that'll accept you. Reality is, they prefer smaller "plus" women because that's what they think society prefers. It sucks.

  • yea right plus sizes uuuuuuuuuuuujjjjjjjjjjjuuuuuuu­uuuummmm

  • shouldnt plus sized models actually be plus sized???? they are average, not at all plus sized

  • Men have absolutely no clue how sad women are judged as fat if they are not a size 0- size 2. I am one of the victim. I am a size 8 and I am 5'3". This video makes me feel happy, and I almost want to cry when I am watching this.

  • @MsPoizonGirl don't cry! my wife is a designer and she told me the "standard" size they make their designs in can maybe fit 10% of women out there. when she looks for models, they're all bony, i've seen them. i always ogle the lane bryant models!

  • these women make me so happy to think im not the only one saying " this girl is too skinny!" when i read a magazine(:

  • how the hell are these women plus sized?!? i would classify the "normal" size as starvation

  • I love how Ellen has the courage to do something like this on her show. She and the models are truly inspiring.

  • these women..are now my role models. <3

  • Of course we see these women as average, but the model industry and the media sees them as "plus size". It's such an unfortunate reality because these women are gorgeous. Alot more gorgeous than a size 2 in my opinion.

  • Fuck magazines. They talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk. They do this every now and then to get media coverage then go back to featuring 00 teenagers again.

  • you call this plus size !! cmon they are like a large at most we need some real big beautiful woman .. this just makes it a total contridiction if plus size models dont look plus sized...

  • The women in my family are rather envious of my bodily features. I haves curves and large breasts, something you don't see often in the average Asian women.

  • this video was posted in 2009 and I am watching this in 2011 and I still see anorexic women everywhere =(

  • what the hell? they are totally a normal size! how are they plus size???

  • oh my dear god.....size 6 and up is considered fucking plus sized??? that is RIDICULOUS. absolutely nuts. i want to. kill. the. fucking. fashion. industry. fuck all those gay designers and the skinny bitches.

  • they are the hottest babes on earth..cheers!!!

  • true fact- 99% of super skinny models have eating disorders! just a 1% is naturaly thin....... why get sick when you can be this beautiful?

  • "How can you not have an eating disorder & be that bone thin?" I love Ellen!!! Right on lady!

  • This video is so correct... Very good message

  • Our fuck*ing society is soooo messed up!! Any size over 6 is plus size... WHAT??!!! That is why our poor kids start having low self esteme since a very early age. That is why there are so many anorexic/bulimic girls out there. This is riduculous!!!!

  • @XoXoKarinaKGXoXo A FREAKING MEN.

  • These are just "big boned" girls! and look healthy to me!

  • I say that the only reason that the sizes are so small is because the designers don't want to pay for more fabric. I can't believe the fashion industry, it makes me sick. I am personally very happy to have healthy size 14 curves and not look like an adolescent boy. I am a nineteen year old WOMAN. Of course this does not mean that I'm saying that there's anything wrong with people who are naturally very thin, I have a few friends like that, they eat more than me! 

  • I'm sorry.....but they are plus-sized? They are average, normal women. Beautiful, yes. Plus-sized? Not even close. Have a size 22 women as a model....then you can say you have a plus sized model.

  • @thatsmisstrouble2u ha for real they look normal! i wanna see 250+ walking the run way!

  • the hottest women on earth should all be like these.

  • Thats not true, I worked in retail for 10 years, plus size section was only for size 14 and up. 12 and under was on the regular section. Look at Macys...of course except for high end brands like versace and Italian brands....they stop at size 10, which is actually an 8 because their clothes run smaller too.

  • We latinas LOVE our curves, American women should too!....we are an example that curves can be hot. American women don't like their butt, hips, etc!......

    we walk with pride and men love it!....

    curves are better..

  • PLUS SIZE?!!!!?!?!?!??!!?!?! Then what is considered 'average'? Holy shiz! What has this world come to?!

  • I once asked my guy friend if he actually liked those bone thin models and he surprised me by saying no! He told me that it doesn't look natural, and that he'd rather have a real woman. I think that's pretty well darn awesome!

  • @NinjaPirateBaby congratulations for having this boyfriend ;)

  • These woman look so normal. What insane person calls that plus size? It makes me feel even bigger- and I'm not that big ....

  • real women!!!!!!!!

  • I'm a big women and just as beautiful as the small women it's about time someone is standing up for women like me!

  • They are so beautiful! They gonna take over the fashion industry

  • "Plus size" is good because it's not what is considered a normal model, also known as "minus size." These are healthy models!

  • So if this is plus size, im plus plus plus plus... kinda sad someone whos size 8 is condiser plus size...it should be from a size 16 and up i believe

  • This rocks, what this magazine is doing and what these models are doing. Real women with real woman shapes are Beauiful!!

  • How can they be plus size models if they dont even wear plus size clothes....

  • I'm a young model and I'm plump

  • That photo is so sexy!!!!

  • THEY are the ones that stand out. From all the "normal" models, THEY stand out, THEY are the ones people will remember.

  • thats crazy thats only a uk size 10

  • These are the women that God created. Hollywood and the High Fashion Industry gave the world the twisted idea that women should look like a skeleton.

  • Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

  • I'm a size 9 and I'm still feeling fat, and It is because all the anorexic models that we see at TV , I really wish we can change our mind about what is healthy and what is not, because what is the point of being that skinny ,, what for!!

  • if that is plus sized, then my life was a whole lie

  • wtf they are plus size? oh gosh

  • Michael Kors makes PLUS SIZED CLOTHES for Lord and Taylor :D

  • Moe like "typical-sized women on ellen"

  • I once was listening to a designer who was trying to explain thinness in the fashion industry by saying, "It's not that the models look better thin... it's that the clothes look better on thin models."

    I was like, really? How about making clothes that look good on real women? Or is that too much to ask from a designer?

  • No. These women are not plus size.

  • Since when is they plussize. I swear hoolywood is funny as hell when it comes to showing plussize woman. Im expecting to see someone like Queen Latifah.

  • hehe Ellen's all "You all are considered plus size models? Really? REALLY?" Yeahhhh, pretty much Ellen lol.

  • These women may be Plus Size as far as the freaky fashion industry is concerned, but not only are they not Plus Size in the real world, they are also all very tall, making them even less representative of Plus Size women. Good try Ellen, but you need to do more.

  • these models actually look like women for once......

  • All these women are beautiful and it's a shame they are called plus size??!! it baffles me!, these women should be working the runway not hip bone leg gapping models. Nothing wrong with being a slim woman and a natural size 0 but the media throws it in young girls faces and telling them that anything over a size 0 is fat and not pretty.

  • How can these be plus size? The blond girl was good looking¨.

  • PLUS SIZE STARTS AT 1X THEY ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE!

  • the people that consider these girls plus size are fucked up. they are normal not plus size. they should be ashamed of themselves for trying to make us think that anorexic is what's normal size. when i saw the photo of that girl who was size 00 i really felt bad. that's not beautiful and it defenetly isn't a model.

  • designers say that they like to show clothes on a size zero because it makes the clothes look better

    well i say if you can only make clothes look good when they are hanging on bones or a hanger, than you are not a very good designer!!!

    also, every single one of those women made their clothes look damn fine. such crock.

  • plus size my ass! they are perfectly normal.and gorgeous.i wish all models were beautiful and healthy like these women.those skeletons who walk like zombies and are half dead make me hate fashion which i originally adore.no dress can be beautiful if worn by an anorexic woman.those fashion people are so unintelligent.they work against themselves.

  • I absolutely love seeing this. I'm so glad to see NORMAL people being models! its so fantastic. Beauty is not stick thin!

  • The only time any of them looked plus size is when Lizzy got dunked and the water made her look 10x her size. No other time are these "plus size". This is my size. 12, 14, 16 (UK/Australian) ...and I've had it up to here with feeling second rate because of it.

  • THen what are you if you are over a size 20??

  • how the heck they call that pluse size, they look normal to me,

    just alittle thickness that all, thats what i call a women , not some skinny as chick

  • Oh my gosh. These women are average, normal sized women...I really don't see how they're "plus sized"... -__-

  • these women are way thinner than what is supposed to be considered heavy...they're the people you see on commercials for weight loss (before / after). Where are the "heavy" models???

  • As a catalog photographer, we have enjoyed working with many plus size models.

  • these are real women with real lifes. They are so great, and inspirational.. Good on you Girls! :)

  • Well played Glamour magazine! I am getting my subscription tomorrow =)

  • Fuck the fashion industry these women are gorgeous.

  • Sexy women, great personality, and intelligent. Size 2 and 0 is ridiculous and should not be made a size. It should be named " hello I have no curves, butt, and am unhealthy and cannot enjoy life" ^_^ go normal healthy "plus size?" models!

  • Whenever super-skinny women show up on TV/movies who have a pretty face but are "industry-thin" my husband remarks that they "need to eat a sandwich" or "she would be gorgeous if she just gained 10 or 15 lbs." When he married me I was a healthy size 12 and could get no thinner without bones sticking out. When I was a 10 my ribs showed on my upper chest and I was still a c cup. Some of us just don't have the skeleton to be a size 4, or even a 6. I've since gained some weight with his full supp

  • When they walked in.. I was like.. "Wow"

    very beautiful

  • These women have curves to kill for. No one wants stick insects crawling in the fashion industry, we want real, beautiful, sexy women!!!!

  • none of them have fat legs

  • there are completely normal and sexy not even plus size. :] just normal and cute. I hate this stupid world, everbody who dont have visible bone they called fat or plus size.i am plus size 44 size and i fucken like that :D

  • Coming from a fashion background this is really shocking to me. The dressforms we had in college we were only given a choice between a size 8 and a 10 "sample sizes". This is now considered "plus size" : / Sadly the industry is not going to change. They started to appease us by implementing "vanity sizing". Which is nothing more than a band-aid in my opinion.

  • these women make me feel a lot better about myself. They're all a lot bigger than me and they still look great. i've had an eating disorder for like 5 years now and it's nice to see these healthier women who are still beautiful in the public eye.

  • @neveryoumindeh hope you recover well ! i had one too, you just have to love yourself and don't let people's comments (unrealistic by the way too often) get to you ! if you want to talk to somebody about this you can send me a message :-)

    good luck !

  • I love my curves! I mean I don't have a lot going on at the top but lots of it in the bottom. And guys don't hate it. :)

  • did they say it was gonna be plus size modells?...

    Like if you think they are thin and that the fashionindustry are nuts!

  • I was a model and since I have had my daughter I am now a size 9 and I can't find work I am glad they have brought attention to this!! Thank you Ellen!

  • they are actually stunningly beautiful!

  • hot girls

  • Gay men should not set the norm of female beauty.

  • The fashion industry considers size 6 and up plus size? IMO... plus size doesn't start until size 12 or 14...

  • THOSE WOMEN ARE AVERAGE SIZED WOMAN ONE OF THE FARTHEST THING FROM PLUS SIZE

  • @yfset8 I agree, I think ppl have a disoriented image of a normal body size.

  • I'm a man and I love women with curves and some meat, these women are so beautiful. This is a truly what models should look like.

  • these girls are hot, there real women, i wouldnt even call them plus size, there curvy just the way me and all my friends like women

  • this just makes me feel worse about myself if they consider these women "plus size"

  • it's so ridiculous to call them plus size models....crazy fashion industry.

  • their not plus size their normal i thought plus size was fat?

  • Thanks to Ellen for showing her viewers that women with real bodies are beautiful, healthy and sexy, especially ones as hot as these four!

  • i'm a size 8, and the media considers that plus size? You've got to be kidding me.

  • Please! These are not everweight people! They do not use plus size clothes!

  • I don't wanna sound like a stereotypical guy... but... damn!

    Can I please get with one of them? They are beautiful.

    This size-0 shit is ridiculous.

  • these woman are who we should aspire to look like! not woman who look like they are starved and emaciated!

  • This should be shown in all high school health education classes!

  • This is nice and all but really? PLUS size? Plus compared to what? Heroin addicts? I'm naturally somewhat more thin, but this ridiculous idea that there is some magical perfect size and anyone over that is a specialized "plus" size is just totally absurd.

    Most men would kill to be with any one of these women. How is showing them something revolutionary? How did we become this sick?

  • these are real woman! strange how flat chest-edness can be considered a beauty !!!! fuck i love my curves n i give a shit!

  • i love these girls!! i remember seeing that pic with all of them in glamour and i did a double take, i think its the most beautiful picture to ever be in that magazine.

    these women have helped me to feel beautiful, even if im not a 0, 2, 4, or even a 6 :D

  • Curves rock!!!

  • They aren´t "plus" size ! They´re just normal and very, very beautiful !

  • They aren't plus size, they're normal. Women are supposed to be curvy. It has everything to do with fertility.

  • geeze if they're overweight i don't even want to know what i'm considered...

  • beautiful :] anorexic is sad and disturbing their is nothing normal about it when u dont fit into a double 00 .. im a six 10 and i feel great .. :D yay to normal sized models (supposably plus size) lol

  • I love my curves and the media can suck it!

  • @judyalta AMEN GIRL

  • I like curvy girls. They're just fine. I don't like underweighted and skinny women. They look sick.

  • @deepenhancer well said, curvy women are sexy.

  • WTF They're all BEAUTIFUL!

  • im curvy and it took me 20years to accept that fact that i'd always be curvy..

    im still curvy and im happy about it..people should know that it's better to be curvy AND healthy than be stick thin but sickly.. =)

    add to that Curvy women are SEXY!

  • Whenever I see these women in magazines, they make me feel alot better about my body, knowing I can be a bigger size person and still be beautiful

  • Everybody quit buying the shit advertized or promoted by skinny chicks...that will stop this crap.

  • ok im 15, size 5, 113 pounds, and 5'4 so when i move to a size 6 im now considered "plus size" wow, thanks designers u make teenage girls everywhere feel lika piece of shit good job

  • these women are beautiful. stunning. they look just gorgeous and they have a healthy attitude. I love them, so beautiful.

  • @DuHastAuch...and most importantly, they look healthy

  • This is what real women look like. We need to flip the script. These size 2s out there who have taken over media, TV and movies are MINUS SIZE WOMEN. Let's start a movement to recognize reality, and eliminate the Madison Avenue fantasy that beauty only comes in a size 6 or less. Size twelve is not plus-it's just right.

  • I think they are the perfect balance good healthy role models

  • Super thin models seem so unhealthy...now this is what real women look like.

  • W.T.F*ck?! Why is the media touting normal sized women as "plus sized" and abnormally skinny women as "normal"? What kind of f*cked up alternate dimension are we living in??

  • WTF is wrong?

    They are curvy and NOT PLUS SIZED

  • I still dont understand why so many people say yes this is beautiful, and the designers are still working with the skinny models. I am a curvy young woman to and i was never proud of it! For a long time I was ashamed of my body and never felt happy with my curves. Now i have seen this and me boyfriend who is saying to me that i am beautiful i am really happy with that. I hope one day the models are more curvy just like these women are. They are just beautifull and i am proud at them and myself!

  • @Veronicaflorence89 I know how you feel, chica.

  • I'm definately thirsty for those images.

  • plus size means plus sexy this way... =D

  • Purely Beauitful.

    Purely.

    This almost made me cry.

  • I love women like that. Prefer them way more than the skinny ones.

  • I'm a plus size model and this really inspired me.

    The media has really put too much pressure on women and girls alike to be super thin.

    The reality is only a limited number of people were really made that small, and it's just not healthy to be that skinny.

    It took me a while, but I am VERY proud of my size and I model and pose with confidence. I hope more plus size girls/women step up and do the same.

    Be sassy, be confident, be happy with yourself. :]

  • kate has such a beautiful face

  • I love that has large size models, because that is the reality in the world there are people of all sizes and we are not all thin. I love these girls but I also like being the likes of Tyra Banks !!!!!!! !

  • The largest Plus Size Model (that I know of) was size 50 Blonde Bombshell Cindy Michaels. She appeared on a cover of BBW in 1983.

  • these women are REAL!

  • Well said, Ellen!

  • they're plus sized?

    they're perfect.

  • @StuartHaitchXbox while these women are not plus sized anywhere besides the modeling world, plus sized people can be perfect too.

  • theyre so beautiful! i love it

  • These women are so much MORE beautiful that the scarecrow's in victoria's secret .

  • I look up to all these women :) love it

  • wow,,,,anything biggger than size 6 is plus size??????? did you guys know that marylin monroe was sixe 13??? and she ws GOUREGEOS!!!!!

  • actually she was a 14 but your close lol

  • I'm a size 7 and I'm not plus size. I think this video goes wrong in it makes girls who are slim/average seem "plus size" and it makes "plus size" girls feel like they are huge and not represented. It still makes it seem like they are trying to hide the true "plus size" females. thats wrong

  • yay

  • gorgeousness.

  • Good heavens, these are beautiful women. Plus size? Whats that? These are just women how they suppose to be.

  • This is because the fashion industry is ruled largely by gay men who hate the erotic power a fully-formed woman has over a man. They turn sexy women into 12 year old boys and then put them in dresses. This is a FACT and nobody truly addresses it for fear of being labelled prejudice. You'll never see a size 0 in Playboy. Join the dots, people.

  • THAT is what women are supposed to look like.

  • these girls are very inspirational :-) i wonder if we'll start seeing bigger girls in the pages of vogue more often.

  • ... I really didn't know that the ''average'' size was from 00-6! WOW .... so basically if you're beyond that your plus size?.. kinda ridiculous

  • This made me feel so confident & I look up to Crystal Renn ! I love you !

  • FINALLY! Im sick and tired of looking at magazines with skinny models.Those girls are amazing, healthy looking, beautiful! Makes me feel great about my body type...YAI FOR CURVES AND "PLUS MODELS" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
