A 12-14 is featured as a plus-size model, and this is news (apparently the average plus-size model is actually size 10-12, whereas the average woman in America is anywhere from size 10-14). I think 12-14 sized-women should be able to be non-plus size models, and the plus-size industry should use women who are actually plus-sized to be their models, but still think the featuring of a woman with curves in Glamour is a step in the right direction:
