Are you listening marie claire Australia???

The secret to promoting positive body image in women’s magazines is not to make a huge fuss about pointing out that you’re doing it, nor is it to put one of the most naturally gorgeous women (J. Hawkins) on the cover of your mag nude, nor is it to print various articles about how important it is to be positive whilst having a stick-thin model on the very next page.

The secret, my friends, is to do as US Glamour does – AND JUST DO IT.

In their latest issue with the delightful Katy Perry on the cover, I was flipping through and came across this story -

“You’d Look Even Better Naked’ featuring the beautiful model, Crystal Renn.

That’s it – MODEL. Not “plus-size model”, but just MODEL. Because that, folks, is what she is. No fuss is made (“oh we’re featuring a plus-size model!!”) and the feature is seamlessly incorporated into the issue. In fact, it’s a highlight. I applaud you, Glamour.
