Model Ashley Graham and the “curvy” girl revolution By Brian Prowse-Gany She started modeling when she was just 12 years old in her hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, but now Ashley Graham is making a splash in the pages of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, flaunting her beautiful and voluptuous size 16 figure in a steamy ad for Swimsuits for All. Bringing sexy back in a redefined way, Ashley and her tiny black string bikini are showing the world that not all good things come in small packages. A pioneer in the so-called “body size movement,” Ashley has quickly become one of the most recognizable faces for plus-size apparel, an industry that rakes in $18 billion annually , but still has a way to go in meeting consumer demand. With her own lingerie line with Addition Elle, Ashley is setting her sights higher and is planning on one day having her own plus-size apparel company. Debunking the myth that skinny equals healthy, Ashley has started her own line of workout Web videos called “Curvy Fit Club,” designed to help fuller figure women stay healthy and voluptuous at the same time. With a fashion industry that has notoriously only featured models who are incredibly thin, Ashley has hopes that you will begin to see a larger variety of body types, thanks to fashion icons like Carine Roitfield and Steve Meisel putting the spotlight on larger-size subjects. Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric went to the heart of Park Slope, Brooklyn, to meet Ashley at her home away from home — her local gym — to talk over smoothies about Ashley’s recent adventures with Sports Illustrated and how this new “curvy girl” phenomenon can help our world find sexy in all shapes and sizes. Poster Comment: Hot body, for sure. ;)

In fact that size 12 model is curvy because she has an hour-glass figure. Curvy girl as commonly used is just a polite way of saying fat girl. However, to be truly curvy a girl must have an hour-glass figure whether she is a size 2 or size 20. A girl that measures 44-40-42 is not curvy; she is just fat or at least very heavy set. However, a 95 pound girl that measures 31-21-32 has an hour-glass figure and therefore she is curvy.
I'm glad you know the difference. There is a fat girl where I work, and I do mean FAT. ;)

You ever watch the show called Amish Mafia? I never had until about two or three weeks ago when they said it was the final season. I know that it is like all "reality" shows, there is very little real about it. But they jumped the shark on the last episode. There is this woman on the show called Mary and just guessing I would say she would weigh somewhere between 350 and 400 pounds if not more. Big, big woman. Now imagine "hooking up" with that woman. And yet she said on the last episode that it would be easy for her to seduce some man that Merlin asked her to (he wanted to get information from the guy). As I said, they jumped the shark with that.
