Ashley Graham - Ashley Graham x Swimsuits For All Marrakesh Bikini Not only does she suggest that “feeling fat” can be fixed through the use of tools, but she says that one “tool” to use when you’re “feeling fat” is to tell yourself that you are “beautiful.” Dude.

Oh, do you know of Ashley G? My woman crush, it's plain to see just why I think she must be heard and that is why I pass the word A woman brave and sexy strong who tells the shamers, "You are wrong!" There is no one way we should be a size plus siren, look at me! I live my life just as I please without a care, so let them tease! I have the looks; I have the curves When you see me, you're bound to swerve and take a second and third look my beauty goes beyond the book I'm gorgeous, sexy, here to say, 'Now love your body, all the way' I love my curves and cellulite My handles that are out of sight! I flaunt, I strut, and let them stare This plus sized model doesn't care! I'm Ashley G, my swimsuit line and lingerie make big girls shine!" I follow Ashley on the gram and love her dearly, that's no scam Oh, Ashley G, you're meant to be The icon for big girls like me! Eileen Manassian

Can't understand the obsession with stick insect women, Eileen. Nothing wrong with a bit of cuddly. Even the best looking cars have curves- 69 Corvette, E-type Jaguar. You gotta fight...for the right... for curvy! Woo! Viv x

Neither can I! Love the car analogy. I think, better have handles...give someone a good grasp! ;) Hugs and thanks for your lovely comment.

Ashley represents a large number of women who need not starve in order to look attractive! I hope your words will encourage others to look at life and physical aspects through more positive glasses. Regards & Hugs // paul

Thanks, Paul. I do wish I could shed some weight, but the obsession with skinny is killing many....literally. I love strong women like Ashley who have learned to love themselves despite what the world thinks. Thanks for the visit.

Girl you couldn't draw a more perfect figure than that! ...bout time you posted something woman. Though to be honest if all you did was post saying "hey I'm here and I'm okay" I'd be happy ;D

Shadow...you are a very great encouragement to me. Thank you for what you post on my poetry. I'm glad you see me through lovely lenses. It makes me believe in myself and that is a great treasure. Bless you for it. Hugs :)

She is quite gorgeous. It’s good to see you writing and taking time to visit your friends.

She really is, isn't she? More power to her and to others like her who aren't afraid to call out the fashion and entertainment industry out on not having enough representation of bigger women. Victoria's Secret is yet to give angel status to a plus size model. That's a crying shame!

Bravo Eileen so looks awesome and is a role model for many who are not built like stick insects - shes a REAL woman with gorgeous curves and more models should be she is:-) hugs jan xx

Thanks, dear. I don't want to be against thin....thin shaming is the same as fat shaming so I try to keep that in mind, but it's hard...Thanks for understanding the baggage we carry (in the shape of extra rolls HA HA). Hugs to you, dear. ;)

She is very cool looking and for plus size, I don't really see much of love handles on her. I think she lost weight in the bottom picture. But she looks good any way you look at it. WELL SAID!!

Thanks, dear. I think I played with the measurements on the bottom picture to make it fit. Funny, sometimes a person looks great in one pic and not so great in the other. Her Baywatch shoot wasn't her best, I think, but...that's the life of a model. You take it as it comes, and I LOVE Ashley! :)

Thank you, Eve. She is doing a lot to promote body positivity. Models tend to be emaciated, and Ashley has proven that women can be sexy at bigger sizes. They don't have to be airbrushed. I truly admire her and people like Tess Holiday, Denise Bedot, and others. A woman's beauty comes from how she carries herself and her confidence. Beauty is beyond size. Hugs
