"At 17 my body completely rebelled. I couldn’t loose more weight and I realized I was going to die for a job. The next day I was completely chastised by my agency for my size and one agent pulled me aside and said, “There’s an option for you. You can either go plus-size or do commercial work.” And I asked, “What’s plus-size modeling? I’ve never heard of that.” And she said, “Well it means you can be whatever size you want and model.” But she said it was for old women! But for whatever reason, everything made sense and I knew this was the route I had to take. I went and had a salad with salmon and walnuts and olive oil. I gave into what my body needed. I could be healthy and happy and still model.," says Crystal.

i'm not cool with my weight and hence trying to lose it, but i love seeing thick girls repped in stuff that was never catered to us. i'm diggin the movement. tocarra, now that bishes shoot was HAWT!
I'm not impressed. That's plus size? They are still playing it safe. When they get a real big girl in one of their magazines call me.
The "not big enough" argument is passee if I should say so. She looks beautiful.
