Women respond to 'plus-sized' perspective in reality programs
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Average women," she said.
RALEIGH, N.C. - Ask model and fashion designer Emme whether television and other media are more accepting of plus-size people, and she quickly corrects you.
The host of the new Fox reality dating show, "More to Love," has been on this campaign since the mid-1990s, when she began telling full-size women to be more accepting of themselves. In her latest venture, she guides a 6-foot-3, 330-pound man as he chooses among 20 women who wear sizes ranging from 14 to 22.
Television is suddenly filled with images of full-figured people real and fictional — although not as everyday people just living their lives. The shows focus on their
size — on "More to Love," the contestants' height and weight, and that of the bachelor, were flashed on the screen as they were introduced in the first episode.
Oxygen's "Dance Your Ass Off" features 12 contes
The Style Network's reality show "Ruby" is in its second season, telling the story of Ruby Gettinger of Savannah, Ga., who's down to 350 pounds from her highest weight of 716.
tants, weighing a total of 3,000 pounds, who lose weight through dancing, and Lifetimes" Drop Dead Diva" is about a model wannabe who dies and comes back as plussize attorney.
"I think these welcomed shows are opening the aperture," on full-size women, Emme said, whose size ranges from a 12/14 to a 14/16.
"These are fun shows to waten, and they are really taking the perspective of the full-sized woman and bringing it into the type of package people can relate to."
on featuring plus-size models. Glamour became serious about it in past five years, featuring Queen Latifah on the cover in May 2004, said Cindi Leive, the magazine's executive editor. In the past six to 12 months. "There is just more and more of a hunger among women to see images of women that look and feel real.
"There's a sense that being a sort of cookie cutter, homogenous standard of what's beautiful has started to feel a little bit dated," Leive said.

Some fashion magazines are ahead of the curve — so to speak
"There is just more and more of a hunger among women to see images of women that look real and feel real."

who wears a size 12/14, is shown in sideways pose, her arms covering her breasts, only the string of a string bikini visible at the waist. The shocker: Her belly hangs over the string and rests just a bit on her thighs. Not only that, but she's laughing as if she doesn't even know.
"There's a roll in her belty that looks like every woman over the age of 16." Leive said. "And there she is, looking happy and confident and like she loves life and like she's the sexiest thing in the world."
If people do relate to the shows — and Fox hasn't decided whether to renew "More to Love" — it may be because they reflect the image that Americans see in the mirror. The average U.S. woman wears a size 14, and an estimated 56 percent of American women wear plus sizes, which start at size 14 or 16, depending on the brand.
