OK, not really saying much due to the quality of the publication, but Sunday's Observer came with the monthly Woman section. *shudder*
On the front they had a curvy lady and some quote about being the next big thing or something. Inside they had 4 pages with fashion pictures involving women who are size 16. (you can see the article here)
But there was something really wrong with the pictures. They all looked plasticky and unreal - heavily airbrushed to get rid of the dimpled skin and cellulite but still retaining the belly bulge.
I thought it was really bad as they seemed to be saying that they were showing real women...and then they go and smooth them over anyway.

Makes me angry.
