The startling statistics and the photo of plus model Katya Zarkova in nothing but FENDI shoes, Atelier Minyon rings, and bent in a yoga pose. Editor in Chief, Madeline Jones is quoted as saying, ‘Small women cannot be marketed to with pictures of plus-size women, why are we expected to respond to pictures of small size 6 and 8 women?” in the Daily Mail UK article with more than 78,000+ shares alone.

Cycle 10 winner of ANTM, plus size model Whitney Thompson (as seen in PLUS Model Magazine), has launched a plus size dating website, TheBigAndTheBeautiful.com. It was just announced that an advertisement created for the Super Bowl was rejected by NBC because, “Unfortunately, it needs to be completely reworked for our air. S & P (Standards and Practices) wouldn’t approve it.”

Was the spot too hot for TV? Was it a publicity stunt to promote the website and ad without having to pay the outrageous cost of a single airing of a Super Bowl commercial? My marketing mind says it is the later. While the world needs to see more plus size women on television, ad campaigns, and online, I have a sneaky feeling this was a move to bring attention to Whitney Thompson’s latest endeavor.

Take a look at the ad below and see for yourself. Too racy for television? Another example that plus size is too hot for TV? Tell us what you think.

3. Whitney Thompson Launches Plus-Size Dating Site

The unforgettable Whitney Thompson, plus-sized winner ofAmerica’s Next Top Model Cycle 10, is launching an ambitious new project: president and founder of an online dating site for plus-sized women calledThe Big and the Beautiful.

As the only plus-sized model to ever winAmerica’s Next Top Model, Whitney is the perfect spokesmodel for the average, healthy American woman looking for love. As she says in her press release, “Anyone who has looked for love online, like me, is familiar with the cycle: post ‘flattering’ photos to get attention, then stress about the face-to-face meeting… I created this site so people don’t have to stress over their profile, but can focus on the fun and excitement of meeting and dating other incredible people of all shapes and sizes.”

The auspicious concept will likely attract tons of girls, and, as Whitney puts it, “[a curvy woman] can show her confidence and know that the men are here for — not in spite of — her physical attributes.”

Compared to the typical ANTM winner’s post-show activities (furniture catalogs, yawn), we’re actually excited to see one of Tyra’s young students graduate into a very Tyra-esque career.
