I hate to rain on the parade, but advertising is about catering to self-image, i.e, plus sized women may not prefer to think of themselves as plus sized women, but as women who would like to find nice clothes in their size, so it really doesn't matter what the model looks like.
I mean really, I'd like to think of myself as a charming, witty, devilishly handsome rouge like I see on television, instead the hideous, socially dysfunctional troll I am, and advertising allows me to believe I can become that if I purchase their product.
They sell fantasy, wear this, you'll look like this, doesn't matter if it makes you happy.
I love the Old Spice commercials BTW, they just lay it out for you - they got nothing to lose old Spice is like so 1965, they're not going to make their image any less retro than it is, so they go for the laughs, and it works, but Calvin Klein is not going to mess with success.
Realistically, I'm all into thick chicks, love a big fat ass, big, meaty thighs - the chicks the younger guys go for look like adolescents to me, I wasn't that into adolescents when I was an adolescent.
But, it's not going to change anytime soon, there is a feedback loop at work here, a youth obsession, that feeds on itself, the models wills get younger and skinnier, if it's possible, until someone liek the chick that played Ally McBeal comes along who is so disturbingly corpselike that we have to temporarily come back to our senses for a while, then it will gradually slip back into the spiral.
So, just enjoy who you are, it's all good, those boney chicks aren't that great in bed, their energy levels are too low, being malnourished, feint and dizzy with hunger.
