What Are Our Thoughts On The First Ever Plus-Sized Model To Be In SI's Swimsuit Issue?

US – For the first time, SI will feature a plus-size swimwear ad. “I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too,” the model, 27, said in a statement about her campaign for swimsuitsforall. “There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.” The size-16 beauty — whose resume includes spreads in Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour, and Latina — bares her curvy body in a tiny black bikini designed by the swimwear brand.

First ever plus-sized model for Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition? I thought Kate Upton already held that honor? BOOM!

But seriously, and I’ll be honest with you, I don’t think she looks shabby at all. In fact, pretty good. Obviously she’s a little thick for my tastes. If she cut out red meat and Twinkees she’d be a certified fox. And I get this girl is closer to par for the course with most of the ladies out there. Which is 100% fine. But then again…this is SI’s swimsuit issue. A honor reserved for the best of the best. The top .000001%. I’m not fat shaming or saying she deserves a little sumthin sumthin if she tries to squeeze into skinny jeans, but you don’t have someone who throws 65 mph pitch in the All-Star game just because that’s what most people bring to the table. You want a fireballer hurling heat. And Ashley Graham throws as well as Wayne Gomes in his prime.

Again, I’m all for equality, but there deserves to always be a Major League level in all aspects of life. What do the degenerates think?
