Diet Pepsi Skinny Cans Offend, Entice Women
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsPepsi may need to can this marketing plan. The beverage company has unveiled its new "skinny" can for Fashion Week, a "taller, sassier" take on the classic soda can that the company calls a "celebration of beautiful, confident women." "Our slim, attractive new can is the perfect complement to today's most stylish looks, and we're excited to throw its coming-out party during the biggest celebration of innovative design in the world," PepsiCo chief marketing officer Jill Beraud said in a statement.

Meghan McCain's Breasts Back in the Spotlight After O'Donnell Attack
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 18) -- The Delaware Senate race just got a whole lot, well, racier. Almost one year to the date that Meghan McCain roiled the Internet by posting a picture of herself on her Twitter page that prominently displayed her ample bosom, the 25-year-old daughter of Sen. John McCain posted a message on the microblogging site that decidedly returned the attention of her 92,000 followers to that part of her body once more. .bbpBox27772593786 {background:url(http://a1.twimg.com/profile_background_images/128421426/133672276.jpg) #000000;padding:20px;} p.bbpTweet{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px ...
How New Gene Findings Help Explain Your Weight and Body Shape
By Katie Drummond - AOL News(Oct. 11) -- Nutritious food and adequate exercise can't entirely trump genetics where weight -- and where it ends up on your body -- is concerned. It's a reality that researchers have known for years, but one that's been reinforced by a new discovery of over 30 different genetic variations implicated in body composition and shape. What Are the Latest Findings? In a study published in Nature Genetics, an international team composed of 400 scientists runs down variations in DNA sequences that are tied to body weight. Some of the sequences seem to affect one's vulnerability to weight gain. ...
Plus-Size Model 'Shocked' by Altered Pics
By Michelle Ruiz - AOL News(July 22) --- As a plus-size fashion model and former eating disorder sufferer, Crystal Renn said she was stunned when a photographer for a charity fashion shoot gave her a digital slim-down that prompted a flurry of questions about her body image. The photos in question, shot by photographer Nicholas Routzen, show a suddenly svelte Renn in a tank top benefiting Fashion for Passion, a charity that funds arts education for children. "When I first saw the pictures, I have to say I was absolutely shocked. I think I sat in silence for a good five minutes," Renn said today on NBC's "Today" show. ...
Christina Hendricks: Full-Figured Never Looked Better
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyClothes look good on thin bodies. But thin bodies naked? Not so much. Naked full bodies is another matter. Or near-naked, a la actress Christina Hendricks in a corset on the cover of New York Magazine. Hendricks, a breakout star of AMC's hit show "Mad Men," is undeniably beautiful. She's also a different body type than we're used to seeing in the glamor factories of Los Angeles and New York. But then "Mad Men" is a period drama, set half a century ago. It may be relevant that most fashion designers are gay men. Thin women look more male than their voluptuous counterparts in the general ...
The Naked Truth: Glamour Magazine says Real Women Have Curves
By Helena Andrews - Politics DailyShe's the woman on page 194. Sitting with her legs crossed, wearing a smile so contagious my own cheeks started to burn, "plus size" model Lizzie Miller rounded out the pages of Glamour Magazine's September issue by exposing her -- wait for it -- belly. It's not a six-pack or a 12-gallon. It's just a normal, healthy, spongy roll of skin that gently spills over into her naked lap. The image is neither Fernando Botero-overblown or Self Magazine-over-airbrushed. She's just a girl who looks great naked. The stock photo of the size-12 20-year-old is a lot like those Dove "Campaign for Real ...
