Any America's Next Top Model fans out there? Whitney Thomspon, last season's winner of ANTM, was spotted in West Village posing for a photo shoot. She looks adorable in that outfit and I love that she is a normal-sized girl and still able to make it as a model. She proves that size has nothing to do with beauty. I love it!

Love her! Love the dress!
She's the first woman to win this show whom I honestly, truly believe is genuinely attractive.

What do you mean "normal" sized...sorry...but there is nothing normal or abnormal about her size. its who she is period. I am not as big as she is and its nromal for me to look the way I look...so please stop the fat is normal and skinny is not normal...stop the labeling for a change.
I think by normal, she means average. The average woman in America is 140lbs and a size 12. While she may not be quite that, she might be close. Since most models portray the small side of Americans, she's portraying the "majority" perhaps?
Yeah with all the fast food chains two inches apart......
Oh, call the waambulance.
Yeah she's pretty and all, but she's considered a PLUS SIZE model. Wow.....

She is quite pretty but she is not normal sized. She is definitely overweight. By no means is she fat but thats not exactly healthy. However she provides a good counterbalance to the obsession with being size 0
Love, love, love the outfit! And she is beautiful.

I do find her very pretty. What I don't get is... if you say she's normal sized, how does she prove size has nothing to do with beauty? Sounds like you think she's bigger than just "normal".

In the modeling industry, abnormally thin is in. In every aspect of media, thin is in. People her size aren't supposed to exist on camera. So yes, she is proving something.
You can be overweight and healthy for crying-out-loud! Each person is different as is their body. And you know what? You can be thin and unhealthy. Weight and how healthy you are is relative and can be mutually exclusive. So it would be nice for once if people could look at someone who is not a size two and not immediately assume they are "unhealthy". And she is gorgeous.
hm, so she's considered a plus sized model. you say her weight is "normal". this implies that plus sized is normal. why would it be called plus sized then? I don't mean to offend anyone. However, I don't think this is what the average person looks like sizewise - at least where I live. The story might be different in the US though. Also, I'd like to add that those pics are pretty, her face is beautiful and the pics' atmosphere is great.

Plus size indicates bigger than the stick-thin models we usually see here in America. Because the "normal" sizes barely go above an average woman's size, the plus size means just above average. And believe it or not, many Americans are in that size range.
She's a size 12, maybe 14. I've seen plus sized clothing go up to size 36. Although technically, plus sized clothing starts at size 14, they often hire size 10 models and pad them up to look fuller figured, if necessary. It will be a long time before they have reallllly plus sized models.
this is no longer just an American endemic. I was just in Berlin last week, and noticed that I was just about the skinniest person there. A lot of the Germans were a little chubby in my eyes. I was in Mexico City in december, where the majority of people are overweight. I grew up in Israel, where a lot of people are also slightly overweight. the difference is that America has embraced this change in body mass and started a new movement calling overweight women "normal". at the same time though, it's important to keep in mind that most people are not obese by medical standards!!! there is a big difference health wise between having a BMI of 28 and a BMI of 40.
Oh no, whatever will you do, surrounded by such freaks of nature. I mean, what would happen if they sweated on you?
I wouldn't call her overweight, I'd call her average. Her size is the average size of a European woman. She's pretty, yes, but I certainly don't see her as a supermodel. The world of supermodels requires skinny, tall and edgy looking women. I think we are so used to seeing skinny models that once we encounter a woman in the model world that isn't skin and bones we tend to say she's fat, overweight, obese or chubby. The average size of a woman is a size 16 here in Britain. I'm not saying that this is normal or abnormal, just that most women are a lot bigger than all those young girls in Lala-land Hollywood. I think you have to make peace with your body shape and figure out if you are a skinny woman or a "round" woman. You quickly figure this out when you diet and shortly afterwards you go back to how you were before. Some women are just not meant to be stick thin and that's totally ok. I think we are all too obsessed with what people weigh.

Bravo!
I thought by normal she meant "didn't look like she starved herself to fit into the tiny sample clothes". I'm a pretty skinny gal, but I know I wouldn't look that great in some of those sample pieces unless I did some serious work. So maybe healthy would have been a better word...

What a beautiful girl!
size 12 or size 16 is the average size? that's absurd. I'm thinking size 8 is the average size. American are not the fattest people in the country of the world you know...in fact they are in 9th place and Canada is in 35th place. Yes I do see a lot of fatties in America, but I also see a lot of skinny people there too.
