V Magazine just published one of the most interesting photo spreads, in terms of the question it raises: thick versus thin models; which do you prefer?

In the photo spread, two models-one “thick” and one “thin”-are pictured side by side in the same outfits, and in the same poses. The spread is entitled “One Size Fits All,” and pins the two equally beautiful models head to head in a battle for your preference.

The case against plus size models is often centered around the argument that their body types prevent them from showcasing clothing appropriately, as curves are distracting for viewers, or distort the garments in ways that alter the designer’s initial vision. In this spread, though, it appears that both women model the clothes in ways that make them appealing, and display them appropriately. What’s your opinion?

Do you prefer thin, or thick models?

    I think it depends on the outfit…everything isn’t one size fits all! I think they should do a mix of thick and thin girls.

    From the picture above that they posted, I think both women are beautiful…The modeling industry should focus on HEALTHY models more than anything else…

    the second model isn’t even thick, she’s average. both look good, but the size difference wasn’t that significant. if V mag really wants to compare thick and thin side by side, they need to get legit plus-size models. compare a size 0 to a size 12 instead of a size 0 to a size 6.

    Tocarra is working her s**t. I am also a fitness model and I’m NOT bones. I am very curvasiouse with muscles. I’m NOT accepting people calling black women thick! What the hell is that?

    They both look the same,someones that is thick is like trina,beyonce,nikki minaj,buffie the body,etc. women in that catergory is thick,these women in these pic’s look the same the only thing it looks like they did was zoom in the camera when they took the photo and did some work on the photo’s.

    The so called plus size women in the modling world and in these pic’s are not actually plus size.. but normal size women. The thin models are too thin. If they really want to model plus size…they need to showcase somebody like Monique or Precious…they would be true plus size women.
    Tocara used to be plus size.. she is now average size in the real world.. and she rocked those photo’s!

    I feel that thick is better, if you look it seems that the smaller model had to “show more skin” versus the “thick” model for her poses to be considered sexy. I for one dont find ribcages attractive. To me she just look hungry and sick, and the “thick” model looks normal and someone you can relate to.

    Hell Toccara used to be a plus model,but she’s looking relatively thin now that she is up in “Hollywood” I liked her when she first came out on AMERICA’S TOP MODEL
    The Hollywood wisppy look has NEVER appealled to me and a lot of other BLACKS.
    Thick sistas have and will always be my choice!!!
