I hate that this culture celebrates undisciplined over eaters Not everyone finds rail thin fashion models to be beautiful. They certainly have no place in Playboy. Your comment is like me saying, "I hate that we live in an industry that supports not eating and throwing up your food." There are fat people that overeat and there are women with bone structures that are simply curvy. The model celebrated in this thread is simply curvy...and if she were to lose weight, she'd probably still have those same curves and not get down to what you think is acceptable (ribs and such). She is a Botticelli, and plenty of people associate that with beauty, not overeating.

This woman is gorgeous. However, this relates in no way to Marilyn Monroe. When she was in Playboy, it was shot randomly years earlier. She was tiny. You could see her ribs. Her breasts sat up and begged like little puppies. Plus-sized my ass!

I like reading your threads dedicated to plus size models, Marianne and I will continue to post my comments. Mark should know that there are women who are naturally plus sized. Yes,he entitled to his own opinion but the context he used was straight up wrong in my opinion. I'm gonna leave it at that before I type some assholery

She's a reincarnation of the 60's Playboy Playmate. Gabby I know this is an old thread, but I just happened to look up plus sized playboy and this was the first thing that came up. First off, thank you Gabby for the notice. Second of all this playboy playmate is gorgeous. Congrats to her. I myself am trying to get into Playboy at the size of 42-31-42. I'm on the smaller size of plus sized, but hope to change the new USA Playboy standards. Go plus sized!! Woo hoo!

It's kind of rare to see very slender-figured women (such as many of today's glamor models) with low body-fat, who also carry natural DD breasts. It happens - my mother is actually built this way - but it's not very common. Now that many women have augmentations, thin women, with little extra body-fat, can easily have big breasts. In the 60s and 70s, when few women had those types of augmentations, pin-up magazines had to select among larger women if they wanted bigger boobies. This is an oldish thread and I admit I'm only reading the first page, but... I swear they didn't have small boobs back then. I can NEVER find vintage lingerie in anything smaller than a C.

I don't think too many women thought about being thin until Twiggy came along. Then again, I was born late 80's, so this is all based on opinion. Don't scorn me. *raises arms across face* P.S. I have trouble finding vintage lingerie that fits me. I'm a 32G. Where have you seen good vintage clothing besides thrift stores?

My mom was very excited about Twiggy, because she is as small as Twiggy. Her mother and sister are plus, lol. Kind of did not get my mother's genes here. Vintage lingerie is SO hard to find. Etsy. They sell vintage and handmade items. So you can even find designers who will custom make them for you. http://www.orchardcorset.com/, has vintage Rago brand girdles that can be dyed, just don't get the one attached with the bra.
