People ^

Posted on 02/13/2016 9:26:22 PM PST by TigerClaws

For this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, beauty isn’t measured by pounds or kilograms; it’s defined by Ashley Graham.

The model just made history, becoming the first-ever size-16 body activist model to grace the cover of the magazine. And she almost started her celebration with a wardrobe malfunction.

America elects a foreign muslim as president
Russia lectures us on Christian values
America spies on it's own citizens
Homosexual marriage is now a right
Playboy starts issuing magazines with clothes on.
And now Sports Illustrated is featuring plus sized women.

They need to shut down the CERN Large hydron collider because I don't want to think about what's next.

The opinions of hetro white men on what is or isnt female beauty has been deemed a microaggrestion.

She’s beautiful. My baby girl will never be long and lithe and I hope this trend keeps up. My girl is GORGEOUS and she will be big boned and strong. I do not like the lollipop skeletons in Hollywood. I like these girls who can eat real food and still look healthy and beautiful. This is a good trend.

From the article:

“MJ came over to me and she had tears in her eyes and she said, ‘This is going to make history’, “ Graham recalls. “And in that moment, I knew that I wasn’t just there as a favor, I wasn’t there just like ‘Oh let’s put the big girl in.’ I was there because I was supposed to be there.”

She has a nice face, but she was there to keep the SJWs from complaining, as they always do, about the SI swimsuit issue.

Not to poop on this love fest, but...

1.) SHE'S FAT.

2.) Those pics had a TON of fixing.

Let's not kid ourselves here.

Yeah, because “Heroin-chic” skinny models who look like boys are so much better. /s
