Model

The Resume

    (1987- )
    Lane Bryant lingerie model

Why she might be annoying:

    She began modeling at… 12.
    Her hips are some 16 inches larger than her waist.
    Unlike so many other models of her size, she’s never been secretly shy about her body (then again, how many of them had her role model?).
    Her lingerie line, created for a plus-size retailer (2003), is sold exclusively in Canada.
    A Super Bowl TV ad for the Lane Bryant Cacique line (2010) was deemed too racy for Dancing with the Stars. (Her response: ‘The Victoria’s Secret girls can flaunt around their panties all day long. But when there’s a bigger woman with a little bit extra, they snipped it out immediately.’)

Why she might not be annoying:

    For a plus-sized D-cup model standing five-foot-nine, her face sure doesn’t look too heavy.
    She came by her size honestly; her mother took a size 18 dress.
    She was the first model ever to be the sole subject of a single issue of Madison Plus magazine.
    The controversy over the Lane Bryant ad – which scored more than 800,000 views on YouTube – led to, among other things, a spot on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
    She is a regular speaker at high schools about body image.
    She went on a series of humanitarian missions to South Africa.
