Glamour learned an important lesson this week: real women can sell magazines. They featured a photo of this woman seen below who is a 20-year-old model named Lizzi Miller, a size 12-14. an avid softball player/belly dancer, who moved to New York City from San Jose to become a model.

The reactions reported by Glamour in the piece, The Picture You Can't Stop Talking About: Meet "the Woman on p. 194" were incredibly positive and encouraging, proving that magazines don't need to sell eating disorders, distorted body images or photo shop versions of femininity, but that real women of all shapes can be seen as beautiful - and profitable for magazines who choose to feature them.
