…I've always wondered about that.  I had assumed it was a state of "Professionalism"…also, consider the audience.  Just like a movie, or a speech, you must learn/know the audience you're trying to influence.  If you're showing a design to the Crem de la crem, (Big Shots), then you want your models to show dignity, grace, and proper form…often resulting in the "Kidney Stone Passing" look.  However, if you were showing models of clothing to your friends or family, then the models can basically be relaxed.  I've never seen a Wal-Mart or discount clothing paper/ad with serious looking models in them…mainly because the target audience is family.

I think the closest American culture has come to seeing healthy women as sexy was, at least in this country, during and after World War II, with the popularity of Rosie the Riveter.  Generally speaking though, women who have been healthy and sexy in the public eye simultaneously have been the exception rather than the rule.

Rosie the Riveter…oh, I remember…with the scarf on her head and the bicep.  Truly an inspiration.  

Oh, and TC, I understand what you're saying.  I'm not talking about overweight, but shapely.  In today's society, even being very shapely is found to be "unhealthy".

I agree with Mimi…People were not meant to "be" skeletons…just to have them inside.
But that's just me.

She's beautiful…and the outfit makes her look dangerous.  I live for danger!! 🙂

I've always been a fan of Nikki Fuller's (along with Wendy McMaster, Kim Birch, and a few others).  But Nikki was the one I'd always be glad to see in the muscle mags long ago.  Also (when one of the magazines did an interview on her), she said people who talked to her on the phone, would ask for her mother.  She had such a light, higher toned voice…*whew*, takes my breath away!

Oh yeah, I raise my hand too    ;D

You're right CP…oh for the age in which they believed in robustness.  (CP, help me out, there was a time period, according to some aged artwork, that being robust and shapely was a sign of wealth and royalty too.  I want to say sometime near or at the Victorian age…but I'm not sure.  Would you happen to know?)

I guess we can hope that "natualism" will be the new movement.  I also thought the famous designers were trying to steer away from the "zero" models they used.  Is that true?

Great renders!  Just don't ask me to choose one.  *thinks*…the "stacked" woman, I'd survive if I said no to her.  The muscle-goddess on the right, however…not so much! ;D
