According to a new study in the New York Times, the fashion industry is WAY off on the size of the average man and woman! Thanks for that breaking news, NYT! A new study, using body scans and 3D technology and maybe, Play Doh- 19% of men are considered portly! Portly! Not that I know exactly what that means but it certainly sounds more lovely and jovial than "Plus Size" which is what the average size 14 woman is considered! Shockingly, they also got much more specific with the chicks- the fashion industry average (and I am going to add Hollywood in to boot- no 3D technology here- just a guess!) assumes the average woman to have the following measurements (in inches, of course- though I am not always sure) 35, 27, 37.5! At 5'10" or taller, that's a slender lass or a giant straw. In real life- the average white chick is 41, 34, 43. Other ethnicities? Black? 43, 37, 46. Hispanic? 42.5, 36, 44. Asian? 41, 35, 43.
Astonishing! Though don't tell that to Janice Dickenson- she cannot get behind this whole Plus Size thing! Clearly, its because no one would see her bony ass.
