Welcome back, EWHAEDers! I hope you all had a wonderful summer, filled with good food and positive thoughts about your bodies.
By now, you've probably heard of Lizzie Miller, the "plus-size" model who created quite the stir in the September issue of
Glamour magazine for bearing almost all, but mostly a little tummy.
Lizzie, who was interviewed along with
Glamour editor-in-chief, Cindi Leive, on
The Today Show, spoke honestly about her body image, anxious at some times, confident at others. Is
Glamour's decision to feature a model like Miller revolutionary, as some readers suggested? In a time when Kelly Clarkson is photoshopped for
Self magazine (message: have a big voice, but not a big body), and when Miller's size is newsworthy, I think not. As I said on
Today, if you happened to catch it, it's not a revolution, but it's baby steps in the right direction. My hope is that one day, a photo like Miller's won't even elicit a second glance.
