When walking through the malls on our shopping ventures, we are accompanied by several other women. These particular women always seem to be around, and don't seem to be very nice. They are always very thin with the perfect porportions, and always seem to be wearing the latest fashions. Theres only one catch: they aren't real. These are mannequins, watching you while you struggle to fit into clothes, wondering why on earth the size 1 that they are wearing seems to be bursting even at the site of your thighs. Their glass eyes seem to be glaring at you through the changing room door. So you leave, only to pass by a new set of women. You recognize these women. They look more real, like most of the women you know. You smile, and look up only to see "PLUS SIZE 14+"..."WHAT!?"...Confused, you look around..there must be some mistake. THAT body is not a "plus size". No, the mannequin you see with a healthy and happy body, the "average body", is actually considered plus size, just like the photo posted above. It is absurd to think a body such as this is referred to as "bigger", "larger"...or even "fat". We need to stop only letting these mannequins into plus size stores, and allow them into "regular size" stores ( nobody is quite sure what is meant by "regular size"). We like these women, and would like to see more of them when we are shopping.
