They're all successful models who, up to this point, have been generally branded with the label "plus-size" and relegated to certain work. Plus-size fashion models, which can mean anything above size 6 or 8, often find themselves posing in either ugly clothes in catalogs (as Tim Gunn described typical plus-size offerings, "You've never seen such hideous clothes in your entire life") or in gratuitously nude spreads that make a fetish of their curves (see the aforementioned V Magazine shoot). The worst shoots add food into the mix, making a caloric mockery of the models' size.
