>>SPORTS ILLUSTRATED DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING PRETTY INTERESTING
WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR LATEST COVER.
THEY FEATURED THREE
DIFFERENT COVERS WITH DIFFERENT MODELS.
ONE WAS
WITH HER ATHLETIC FIGURE, THEN THEY HAD A TRADITIONAL MODEL,
THEN A NONTRADITIONAL ONE.
ASHLEY GRAHAM WHO IS FULL
FIGURED GOT A LOT OF PRAISE BECAUSE NOT ONLY DID SPORTS
ILLUSTRATED FOCUS ON ONE BODY TYPE, THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE A
STATEMENT ABOUT ALL BODY TYPES.
WHETHER YOU ARE ATHLETIC,
SKINNY, CURVY, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
>> WELL, IT HELPS THAT SHE IS BEAUTIFUL.
>>YES, ALL THREE OF THEM ARE BEAUTIFUL.
CHERYL TIEGS WHO IS
THE TRADITIONAL MODEL FROM BACK
IN THE DAY DISAGREES.
THERE SHE IS ON A SPORTS ILLUSTRATED COVER
FROM BACK IN THE DAY.
SHE RELEASED A STATEMENT ABOUT WHAT
SHE FEELS ABOUT THE ASHLEY GRAHAM COVER.
SHE THINKS IT'S
SENDING AN UNHEALTHY
MESSAGE.
SHE SAYS
THE FOLLOWING: I JUST FIND IT SO INTERESTING
THAT SOMEONE WHO IS A
TRADITIONAL MODEL IN AN INDUSTRY THAT HAS LED TO SO MANY
UNREALISTIC BODY EXPECTATIONS THAT WOMEN HAVE ñ ANOREXIA,
BULIMIA, AND OTHER EATING
DISORDERS, HAS THE NERVE TO LOOK AT THIS MODEL IS A YOU ARE NOT
HEALTHY.
THERE ARE WOMEN THAT LOOK LIKE ASHLEY GRAHAM THAT ARE
EXTREMELY HEALTHY.
JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS A HIGH BMI DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY
ARE UNHEALTHY.
>> YES, IN FACT THERE IS ONE ON THE SET.
MY DOCTOR SAYS THAT YOU
ARE MORBIDLY OBESE, BUT SHOCKINGLY HEALTHY.
THEY ARE
ALWAYS FLUMMOXED BY IT.
YOU ARE WAY TOO FAT TO BE HEALTHY, BUT
YOU ARE.
I KNOW IN GENERAL OBESITY CAN LEAD TO A SERIES OF
ISSUES LIKE DIABETES, SHE IS NOT OBESE.
SHE DOES NOT HAVE HEALTH
ISSUES.
I MEAN, YOU WANT TO PLAY DOCTOR WITH HER THAN SENDER TO ONE.
>>IF YOU LOOK AT THAT PICTURE SHE HAS THE SEXIER HIPS.
THE
THINGS THAT TURN MEN ON IS THE
WAIST TO HIP RATIO, AND SHE HAS A GREAT ONE.
>> DR.
OZ SAYS THAT HER WAIST IS JUST NOT SMALL ENOUGH.
>> THEY TOOK PLAYBOY MODELS FROM THE 1960S, AND ONCE FROM THE
90S, THEY ARE MUCH SKINNIER OVERALL, BUT THEIR KIDS TO WAIST
RATIO WAS EXACTLY THE SAME.
THAT IS WHAT TRIGGERS MEN'S MINDS.
WOMEN WITH CERTAIN HIP TO WAIST RATIO ARE THE MOST FERTILE, AND
THAT IS FROM MILLIONS OF YEARS
OF EVOLUTION, MAKES US WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH THEM BECAUSE ALL
WE WANT TO DO IS PROCREATE.
THAT IS WHY SHE IS STILL SEXY TO MEN, ETC.
HIP TO WAIST
RATIO IS FANTASTIC.
>>SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, WHATEVER.
THE THING I WANT TO BRING UP
ABOUT MEN AND WHAT THEY LIKE IS THAT I FEEL THAT WOMEN HAVE A
LOT OF EXPECTATIONS WHEN IT
COMES TO THE WAY THEY LOOK.
THERE ARE SOME MEN THAT LAY
CURVIER WOMEN, AND SOME THAT
LIKE MORE SLENDER BUILD.
THEY ARE ALL SORTS OF THINGS THAT
GUYS LIKE.
BUT WHAT IRRITATES ME IS THAT WHENEVER YOU HAVE
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MEN'S BODIES IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
BALLGAME.
LAST YEAR THERE WAS THIS TRENDING STORY ABOUT THE
DAD BOD AND HOW WOMEN LOVED IT.
MEN LET THEMSELVES GO, AND IT
TURNS ME ON.
MEANT TO TALK ABOUT WOMEN LIKE THAT.
OH YEAH, SHE IS SO HOT AFTER SHE HAD THAT BABY.
>>WELL, SOME GUYS DO.
>> VERY FEW.
THAT IS A VERY SPECIFIC FETISH I THINK.
>>MEN'S BODIES ARE DISGUSTING, THEY ARE COVERED IN HAIR AND
SWEAT AND FUNK.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WOMEN GET INTO MEN'S BODIES
BECAUSE THEY ARE GROSS.
>> OH, I AM INTO MEN'S BODIES.
>>THANK GOD.
>>I HAVE A FRIEND THAT ONE TOLD US ABOUT HIS GIRLFRIEND.
HE SAID
SHE HAD A BEAUTIFUL FACE AND WE WERE ALL LIKE ñ
>> IF A GUY'S BODY WAS SMOOTH AND WAXED ñ
>> I LOVE HAIR.
I LOVE CHEST HAIR.
I LOVE HAIRY LEGS.
OH, I
DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT YOU.
>> HAIRY CHEST TURNS ME ON, I THINK THEY ARE SEXY.
>> WHAT ABOUT A HAIRY BACK?
>>THAT DOES NOT TURN ME ON.
THAT IS WHERE IT STOPS.
