Here's the much-ballyhooed cover of June's Glamour magazine. It features plus-size model Crystal Renn on the cover alongside Victoria's Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio and Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker.

Reasons why this is a big deal: (1) It's a plus-size model on the cover of one of America's best-selling women's magazines and (2) She's wearing a bikini.

Now, just in case you're not totally read up on models, Renn, the plus-size model, is the one on the left. She says she's a size 12—compare that to Ambrosio (center) and Decker (right), who are size 2s.

We're not sure we see that much of a difference between the three. Do you?
