Model Ashley Graham has become the first plus size model to ever feature in an issue of Sports Illustrated magazine. The 26-year-old model, who was raised in Lincoln, Nebraska, features in a beautiful new campaign for swimwear brand swimsuitsforall, which was today unveiled as the first ever plus size ad to have been selected to grace the pages of the publication's iconic Swimsuit Issue. 'I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too,' the size 16 fashion star said of her ground-breaking campaign.

Christina Hendricks looks good in a dress which can hide her girdle.

There's a reason, though, why she never appears in a bikini.

[grobdriver]

Ugh.

No thanks.

[Fightin Whitey]

Haha!

I’d like to take you with me when I buy my next used car!

Sir Mix-A-Lot could not be reached for comment, but if he were to comment I’m sure it would be “shake that healthy butt!”

I think it’s an attempt to re-emerge the Lewinski topic

As best as I can tell, there be nary a thing wrong with her.

[Michael.SF.]

She is a beautiful, woman, no doubt, but she is definitely on the plus side:

Helps to remember that Christina turns 40 in May. Middle aged.

But wow. She has aged well. Very well.

[Gamecock]

There is a Goldilocks zone, just right.

[dware]

Yummy!

A woman can always drop weight. You can’t fix ugly.

Cheers

That was just a surface check...I haven’t even gone under the HOOD yet. LOL!

What you have to consider is that most of the fashion industry is led by effeminate alternative lifestyle men who want all women to look hot and sexy, like the little nine year old boys of their dreams.

A real woman, like this, is a fat cow.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Agreed. Just...wow.

Ding! Ding! Ding! You win with the most accurate, albeit non-politically correct, answer!!

She looked a bit thinner in “Firefly”.

[aquila48]

Deliciously plump.

[tumblindice]

I like zaftig women, but sorry—she’s too dam big.

[Verbosus]

I agree with you.
Just right for my taste in ladies.
