She's pretty and has a beautiful body. Full stop. Unfortunately society has to categorize so she is a full figured or plus sized model when it should just be model period.

I can't stand the term "plus sized." Just stop with the political correctness already and admit that it's really overweight or obese, not thick, full figured, or plus sized. Being overweight doesn't mean Ashley Graham isn't beautiful. She is, but calling her plus sized makes her sound like a mathetical equation.

Plus size ... not my favorite term...

Full figured sounds more appealing ...but not really an accurately used.

Ex yes .... I would like a full figure as opposite to lacking of a figure lol?

Regardless last I checked people are kind of as is.

I'm talking about the meaning of the word.
"Too"+ adjective means that something is so [adjective] that it is not acceptable.

The coffee is hot - one might be able to drink it
The coffee is too hot - one can not drink it

So, by definition, one can't be attracted to someone who is "too" skinny, though one could be attracted to someone who is very skinny or extremely skinny.
You must be a teacher.

None of us know how much she weighs, so, almost certainly, people are commenting on her size, not her weight.
And she stays active (check her Instagram for workout photos).

I think she is pretty, well-proportioned and more importantly seems to have a great attitude/life outlook. Nothing to hate in my opinion.

Well, she's not as fat as some of the other disgusting women who seem to think they can shuffle-stomp down a runway with their thighs about to start a brush fire.

I think she looks good....She looks alot like eva mendes. If she were shorter her body would probably look bad. But her height makes her look just thick but not sloppy.I'm not sure about her being a victoria secret model. Those girls are very lean.

As were Sports Illustrated swimsuit models. She seems to be flexing her social credit to get another high profile gig.

They sell panties of size up to XL and bras up to 40DDD... might as well feature a few models that at least approach those sizes. The average woman wearing their products is still not going to look like an Angel even with a woman like AG in their lineup.
