"Plus-Sized Model Challenges Beauty Standards By Starring in Her First Modelling Shoot." Tess Holliday is a "plus-size model" who does not just have the same acceptable body shape but slightly bigger, as we've come to expect when we hear "plus-size model." She is fat. She has dimpled thighs. She has tummy rolls. She has fat upper arms that roll at her elbow.
Just like mine. The ones about which I've been so sensitive for years, and I look at her fat tattooed arms and I think they are gorgeous, and I stop hating mine just a little bit more.
Says Holliday: "There is no one way to be a woman, or to be beautiful. We all deserve a place."
