The sense of pride I take away from doing something I know will be inspire women to feel confident about their bodies.

I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too. There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.

I think that the work that's left to be done - and I see the end in sight at this point - is to just let go and stop talking about it. It's definitely 'stop talking about the whole size thing.' I don't go to my girlfriend's house and say, 'Hey, I'm your big friend, let's talk about big things.' It's not a topic of conversation within my friend group - I'm ready for society, Hollywood, the press, magazines, everyone, to just catch up and say, 'These women are just like the women we've been using for so long. Let's just throw them into the mix and stop talking about it.'

I really hope that the fashion community will not accept anything that does not represent everyone.

I felt free, once I realized i was never going to fit the narrow mold that society wanted me to fit in.

Some styles don't look good on bigger women.

Growing up I didn't have curvy role models, mainly because I didn't see enough curvy women represented in major ads.
