In a previous post I expressed some of my problems with Figure Magazine, particularly the absence of plus size fashion not available through Charming Shoppes (Lane Bryant, Catherine’s, Fashion Bug). Well, with the Sept./Oct. issue of the magazine, my complaint is no longer valid–the magazine features non-Charming Shoppes clothes.

In what has to be one of my all-time favorite fashion layouts “Blue Lines”, Figure featured six “real” women modeling the “perfect” jeans for their body types. Not only did they model Lane Bryant and Catherine’s jeans, they featured Old Navy, Svoboda, and Lee jeans. But what made this layout fantastic was the four-page spread: two full pages with the models shot from the front, then two full pages with the models shot from behind. These women are so awesomely cute with their perfect jeans hugging their bodacious booties!
