This.
Long ago I knew a woman that described herself as "rubenesque", she was morbidly obese.

Brings back memories to a blind date surprise. Chick didnt have a pic to share when we were talking before we met and she outright lied about her weight/appearance. Met her at a diner and she was about 200 pounds more than she claimed. I ate lunch politely with her, I was hungry anyway. When she called later on that night I was honestly blunt about what I thought of her own description. :\

Back to the OP, Ashley Graham is beautiful and I dont mind the thickness. Nice rack, great ass, long hair and curvy plus a beautiful face. What is there not to like??
 
She's a little too fat for me. Not to mention she looks fairly young, and will probably get even more fat as she gets older. Very pretty face though.

If you don't think her SI pics are airbrushed...
 
I'm not a small guy (6' 190lb) and she's three inches shorter while still being heavier than I am...Ashley Graham is pretty but built too large for my taste. BMI is a rough measure though I tend to be attracted to the 19~27 range, but that's just this one guy's opinion. To her credit she seems in better shape than most girls her size. :thumbsup: I probably just made half of ATOT's brains explode. 😀

At the end of the day people should do what works for them, but the fashion/magazine industry needs to stop promoting the extremes as beauty. The "big is beautiful" notion is just as disingenuous as "can never be too thin." Tess Holliday is a prime example of the first...she's not just obese, but morbidly so.

Yea I'm sorry but Tess Holiday is not plus sized, she's HUGE. I don't mind thickness at all but she's too damn big and promoting that as normal is not right.

She is plus sized. There's no two ways about it.

Based on her height and weight, her BMI is 29.5, which is "Overweight", and only a half a point from being "Obese".

In the "normal world", lots of people are Overweight or Obese.

That doesn't make it right.

She's a very pretty girl, regardless, but she needs to lose some weight for her heath's sake, for the long term.
She WILL pay the price for carrying that extra weight somehow when she's older...whether it's blood pressure, cholesterol, the 'Beetus, joint issues, etc.

People were not this fat just 25 year ago. The fact that they are now does NOT make it "normal"....it's still bad, just like it was bad then.
We should not be "accepting" of this new phenomenon just because it's widespread. It's as if smoking made a comeback and lots of people started doing that and people started saying "we should accept people that smoke as they are" instead of telling them they need to quit.

True, in person she's probably bigger than she looks in the magazine.

I assume you mean Ashley Graham. Heather Graham is 46 now and still gorgeous.

Watch out. You're going to be accused of 'fat shaming'. No matter how truthful it is, accepting everyone no matter what is all the rage right now.

FTFY. Crazy amounts of post processing makeup and body shaping is SOP for basically all magazines that aren't National Geographic. While they're not making her look rail thin, I promise they're still adding/removing weight in strategic areas to make it all "carry well".
 
I would Motor Boat Ashley for 24 straight hours. Then I'd stop to go eat, pee, shower, have a beer. Then Motor Boat her for another 24 straight hours.
