<blockquote>''Dimensions Online is a complement to Dimensions Magazine which is published bimonthly as a forum for those with a preference for the large figure and the people who attract them. It explains relationships, experiences, fat sex, and sexuality from the unique perspective of BBWs and their admirers and reports on issues of obesity, health, lifestyles, and media perceptions. Dimensions Magazine also provides adult entertainment including fiction and photo features with fat-related themes. Dimensions has hundreds of personal ads from big women and their admirers.''</blockquote>
'''Dimensions Magazine''' is the name of a now defunct plus-size magazine, as well as a size acceptance community that grew out of the magazine's website. [[Dimensions Wide Angle Video Productions]] were sold through Dimensions. They were the original owner of the [[DimensionsGirls]] modeling network.
==Magazine History==
[[File:DM_issue41.jpg|thumb|220x220px|Dimensions Magazine Issue 41, art by Ned Sonntag]]Dimensions Magazine evolved out of a civil-rights-group newsletter. NAAFA (National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance) was the original size acceptance advocacy group in the United States aimed at big people. A FA (fat admirer) 'special interest group' (FA-SIG) was formed to discuss FA issues, and a black-and-white paper newsletter, also named FA-SIG, was started for that group. Several covers were drawn by Susan Mason. After a naming competition, the newsletter evolved into Dimensions Magazine.
Dimensions Magazine was published by Shardco Inc in Albany, New York, starting in 1984. The owner of Dimensions also owned and published Pen Computing Magazine. Most cartoon covers from 1985 onward were drawn by Ned Sonntag, and in 1989 the magazine introduced color pin-up covers of real models using glossy paper with Issue 42. The magazine featured aspiring models, some of whom became successful online in the years following. The publication of Dimensions Magazine ended in 2002 with Issue 88.
