ANTM (Plus-Size) Winner Whitney Thompson Gets Naked for ‘Love Your Body Day’
August 25, 2010 in Beauty & Body Image, Hot Models by Versus
Remember size 10 winner of America’s Next top Model Whitney Thompson? Well, these days, she is the poster girl of ‘Love Your Body Day’ – and she is joined by Miss Plus America winner Chenese. The Daily Mail says:
Whitney Thompson has stripped bare in a bid to get women to love their bodies – no matter what their size is.
The full figured model, who won season ten of the hit U.S. show, America’s Next Top Model, poses naked with a fellow plus size model, Chenese Lewis for an ad for Love Your Body Day.
How do you like these ads? Do they send the right message?
sexy!!!
Not, unless the message is “love your – photoshopped – body” (and face).
Hahah!
Right?!? I think that photoshop is one of the MAIN culprits behind body issues!
Agreed. They claim they love their bodies and yet they get photoshopped and have skin like barbie dolls, doesn’t sound like love to me.
How is it possible for these pics to send any message when their devoid of any emotion or feeling that real PHOTOGRAPHS have. These are just plastic computer images.
Once again the media perverts any sort of real goodness or truth.
In the first pic it also looks like they photo-shopped the nipple out too. I don’t understand why nipples are so offensive. It just looks weird an alien without a nipple there.
These look more like paintings than photos; i like the effect.
I like the message. Afterall, you have to live with your body so you may as well like it. Even if you are underweight or overweight you can find something loveable about your body, whether it be good skin, no wrinkles, no side effects from smoking; etc. As long the message doesn’t follow the typical trend of ignoring health issues in the face of happiness I think it is positive.
However, if the message is promoting love of all body types then I expect that they will include a range of women at different sizes and of different shapes.
Whitney’s breasts in the first picture look like floppy pancakes…they’ve been photoshopped flat.
I don’t like this photoshoot. I wouldn’t say it’s trashy, because sometimes the naked body CAN be art, but it’s certainly uninspired, and does nothing for the plus-sized model being accepted as norm cause.
Who would ever photoshop breasts flat?? I’m guessing those are her naturally breasts, sadly.
IT’s not that they did it on purpose. But they abused the airbrush tool, therefore turning a 3D surface, into a flat 2D one.
Look in a Maxim magazine – all the models look 2d due to the ridiculous amounts of airbrushing.
This love your body plus-sized-bare-ass thing gets old
I always thought Whitney was one of the prettiest winners of ANTM. I read somewhere that she was told to gain weight for the show because she wasn’t large enough to be “plus size”, but also not skinny enough to do regular modeling.
Probably. There’s no such thing as normal size models. I can only think of one: Doutzen.
Also, look at the backlash Crystal Renn recieved just because she lost a little weight since starting her career.
Bar rafeali is also a ‘normal’ size
yea…it was all a conspiracy…they choose her at casting to be the first plus sized model..she was told to gain weight, which guaranteed her winning…(anyone that watched the finale knows that Anya should have won)
I’m loving these shots….soft focus, slightly dated, gorgeous, flawless skin, squeezable feminity…sexy
Whitney is so sexy… And I don’t think her boobs are floppy… But anyway, who am I to judge the beauty of breasts? I am just a man, anyway… Men can’t judge the beauty of breasts, everyone knows (sacarsm, if you didn’t notice). Anyway, Whitney is sexy and so her breasts are. I’ll take them at anytime. At least, she has some. And THAT is important to me.
I didn’t say her breasts are floppy, I said her breasts are photoshopped to look floppy.
God, I knew someone would just see the world, “floppy” and not read the rest of the sentance and then go on about how her breasts are not floppy.
It’s a great shoot, a bit too airbrushed? Perhaps it was on purpose to give it an effect?
But I think it would be better (for the message) if we could see their real skin, with all the flaws….
I wish that to love our bodies we didn’t have to be photoshopped to the point of plasticity and insinuating sexuality by being naked and thisclose to the next girl. Sure it comes across as beautiful, but hasn’t there got to be a more creative way to love ourselves? This same image has been depicted too many times before with no effect.
agree 100%
lovely cut plz concet with me iam waiting reply on email ?
MY CONCET NUM 92-3453150029
I don’t really care what all you VERY judgemental ppl (girls) say, these girls are both DROP.DEAD.GORGEOUS!!!
yeah, the GIRLS are gorgeous, but the photos ain`t
Whitney-Yes
Chenese-No
&
Whitney should definitely stay brunette-
Blonde does not suit her
pllllease cover them up….why would i or anyone want to see BIG naked girls….Chenese has a pretty face
Stop the presses. Madeleine has spoken! She does not like seeing certain women naked therefore everybody else should proceed to not like it either.
It’s the LAW!
*rolls eyes*
don’t like my comment? don’t comment on it….. immature.
Hey Pot have you meet Kettle?
Don’t like suzushii’s comment about your comment? don’t comment on it….. immature.
I want to see them.
I find it awkward – very vintage lad’s mag look. Personally I don’t empathise with naked women hugging themselves.
Yes, big girls naked to show their beauty is little old, but they are gorgeous!!!
I’m sorry you may all wanna attack me for saying this, but the pictures look kinda gay. Hugging another naked woman doesn’t really speak ‘I love my body’ to me.
and how is gay a bad thing??? as opposed to looking straight? ignorant much?
Why is it probelm if they look gay?
being gay means you can’t love your body?
engage your brain before you comment.
I agree with you Essence.
Before the PC Police goes off on me, I have nothing against homosexuality. Two of my close friends are gay, and I’ve actively rallied against Prop 8 in CA.
But I feel like here they’re trying to send the message “Love Your Body” but are instead catering to men’s lesbian fantasies. That kind of crude way of soliciting attention is something that I don’t equate with confidence.
Thank You. I didnt even mean it like that. Goddamn i have nothing against gays.
From the photos provided, I really don’t see a strong “love your body” message. Instead what I see are two naked women in close physical contact and to me that certainly has a gay overtone (Wouldn’t that be the common reaction if 2 naked men posed together?). However, I don’t think this is designed to play to mens lesbian fantasies since most usually prefer that the women involved be much thinner(“Barbies”, if you will). Also, I don’t believe seeing photographs of two models with perfect (photoshopped?) skin and good bone structure really makes the average large woman feel any more comfortable with her body.
The second photo is gorgeous… the first one mmm not so much. The whole nudity thing was completely unnecessary, I really dislike it.
They are both beautiful, but not much BODY showing! It kind of says “But you have such a pretty FACE!”
Of course plus-size girls can be stunners! Show their bodies, people!
i saw her at the indy 500 up close and she really didn’t seem that big! like a typical college girl after she gains the freshman 15 maybe.
Love Your Body because Photoshop can remove ALL your FAT ROLLS, double chins, flabby arms and cellulite!
Ohh, and Photoshop can also make your NIPPLES disappear in one click!
love the message and they are beautiful with nice bodies, but this type of plus-size is not very helthy. in reality people have celulite which makes the fat looks more like “blhuurg”. if all women had those bodies, no celulite, it would be excelent. but the truth is that women are not like that, they are photoshoped and i just don’t get why fashion is only concerned about plus-sized models and skinny ones i mean, what about REAL and healthy sized women?!
* and, besides, in reality (…)
photoshop.com/fake
the first thing that stood out to be was that chenese is missing a nipple. heh
second, it looks like a lesbian photoshoot. imagine they had two guys naked hugging like that. nothing against gay people of course but this isnt a message about hugging other naked women. i dont see how that has to do with loving your own large body
third, idk. like someone said, real big girls have rolls and cellulite, dimples, etc. fat isnt a big blob of smoothness over a human body.
i think they need to make more things on how to dress different body types rather than photograph everyone naked
I don’t find Whitney attractive AT ALL. Not because of her size, but her face is isn’t pretty to me.
They are very pretty and very photoshopped .
she is part polish.
otherwise she’d be huge all those gorgeous german/dutch models have roots somewhere else.
lord knows northern women have the tendency to be heffas.
And all americans are stupid, all those smart people are from somewhere else .
See – isn’t stereotyping FUN?
Lol you posted the exact same comment on the Diane Kruger pics.. keep on trollin baby.
I also recognized that. What’s the sense behind that?
But hey – anyway – if you love your body, it doesnt mean that anybody else will. believe me. (I’m not talking bigger girls in particular. I mean any shaped girls.)
kind of sends the message “love your body, even if its ‘bigger’ but only if its “perfect” and your skin is flawless
the black girl’s posture is not attractive.. she just looks like a round ball or something. it doesn’t work
Fat or skinny, these campaigns are especially useless with the excessive photoshopping. Everyone’s said it already, but I had to add my complaint to the pool.
So much photoshopping going on here! I seen these pics the other day along with the contestant with the tiny waist from the new season.
Versus you should post the pics of the girl on antm that the judges could fit their hands around her waist.
How is it possible for these pics to send any message when their devoid of any emotion or feeling that real PHOTOGRAPHS have. These are just plastic computer images.
Once again the media perverts any sort of real goodness or truth. BTW being overweight is not healthy or balanced either- it’s either one extreme or the other grrr. Dysmorphia people, Dysmorphia.
Whitney is a very pretty girl, and the pics are nice enough i guess. But they need to stop sending the “love your body” message, and then photoshopping the hell out of themselves.
Is that supposed to be Chenese’s breast under her chin it looks like extra skin or another knee. Wierd….
Ugly ugly photograph. If this is supposed to make me think that being fat looks beautiful, it does not succeed. I don’t really get the whole “fat is beautiful” campaign. As a woman, I would never want to see pictures of fat guys with potbellies in magazines…and guys aren’t out there embracing their blubber…so why would I want to see fat women? Their fat is not attractive.
Also, what’s up with all the girl-on-girl action in these naked chunky model photos? I don’t get that. Are they trying to symbolize female acceptance of fat here? Or, like, the more female flesh, the better? Or safety in numbers?
I would love to see a photo of a hot, ripped guy (think David Beckham) with one of these chubster women. That would look even more grotesque.
Well, how about James Bond, the utlimate sexy man, with a bigger gal? Pierce Brosnan’s wife is a bigger lady. And she was since they got married. She’s not huge, but she’s very close to Whitney’s size. And for the record, men in the spotlight may not be with a bigger woman even if they want to because, thanks to people like you, it’s not as socially acceptable as being with a thin woman.
Here’s a pic if you don’t believe it: http://www.shaaditimes.com/popups/popup-slideshow.php?image_list=planning-00630%7C2
i kind of agree. i mean its not like us women love fat guys. some might but i think im speaking for majority
Can’t believe size 10 is ‘plus sized’ seriously, wtf… that’s perverse. No wonder we’re all so insecure. Look back at like playboy in the 60s or whatever. The women were size 10 or 12 and they weren’t called ‘plus size’. This holding up the women like ‘look at them, they’re fat and they love their bodies! YAY’ is so condescending and annoyingg.. they shouldn’t be made novelties of, they should just put them in normal fashion shoots and not make a song and dance about it.
I really doubt they’re size 10. Maybe if they’re like 5’4”, but no taller.
I wish they had slosed their mouths, the combination of being big and posing with your mouts open is quite tacky
what’s wrong with photoshop in US ?
The black girl is gross. Sorry
i’m all for loving your body, but these girls look like cartoons, what about loving your body without soooo much photoshopping!! i mean i get it that they have to retouch a blemish here and there, etc, but geez this is ridiculous
It’s not healthy to be overweight.
Indeed! They are both overweight removed*. Let’s celebrate clogged arteries!
Why is the word ‘removed’ randomly added into my above comment? Clearly not ‘removed’ if I can see it.
The fact that there has to be a separate “Miss America” for plus-size women makes you think that even the organizers know that a plus-size model would never be able to win the standard competition because even they think that it’s not as attractive to be plus size. Don’t hate at me either, I’m just being blunt and honest. And as for the photos, the Miss Plus America girl’s facial expression is ok, but the ANTM girl looks so bored and out of it.
How depressing is it that size 10 is plus size? That makes me feel like crap

though chenese is gorgeouse i feel a little sick looking at the first pic =S, i have nothing against plus size people ( cuz I am one lol) but her body naked is not attractive, that’s just it.
I am still stunned by you calling her a plus size model, when she is a size 10! WTF???
I think those Dove soap ads a few years ago did a much better job.
Безусловно, интим с шлюхой – наиболее простое и не дорогое решение комплекса заниженой сексуальности. А интим массаж, который предлагают Бляди Киева – не сомненно разнообразны не только в плане цены, но и в плане исполнение отдыха.
