Am I the only one having a real problem with all the fanfare about "plus-size" fashion shows?

Like the fashion industry has really gotten it together on this issue, and we can all be thankful, now that they've expanded from only  zeros and twos to shows where the models may be wearing a size 12, and designated them "plus."  Wow. A SIZE 12!  The fashion industry has designated size 12 a plus size. Oh, can't we all rest easy now.

I'm sure any of our daughters who happen to be on the taller side and/or the athletic/muscular side and a healthy weight by anyone's standards, will be really empowered to process this new piece of info. So in addition to knowing they they could never get their body into the regular glamorous runway model sizes even if they cut themselves in half, now they can also bask in the glow of knowing that that their size 12 jeans designate them as "plus."  Too heavy.  Overweight.  Basically, fat. 

Really, I'm pretty annoyed about it myself. I'm over 5'8" and I don't wear a 12 right now, but I have at different points in my life, and as I move on up in the decades, I may again. I don't want to consider myself "plus" because of it! Because size 12 for A WHOLE LOT OF WOMEN is not fat! It's not even overweight. And we all know, no matter how the industry wants to try and spin this great new entrance into fashion week, the plus size fashion show, being designated a "plus" size is not any kind of plus at all. Why is it so incredibly difficult for our culture to develop some kind of healthy perspective on women's weights?!

And actually, no, I'm not the only one noticing the flaws in this newest innovation. Robin Givhan, fashion editor at The Washington Post, has noticed, too according to this excerpt posted on the NPR site: 
One criticism of plus-size models: They're about a size 12. While that isn't tiny, it's smaller than the average American size, which is a size 14. "There is a real disconnect between what the fashion industry considers to be a plus-size model and what the average person considers to be plus size," Givhan, said, adding that a woman going into a department store won't be sized out of the most fashionable clothes until she reaches size 16.

Come on, fashion people. This is getting old.
