My international lesbian plus-size model friend

Jennie Runk is an international plus-size model. She is a size 12, same as me, and is about 5 inches taller. She has zits, cellulite, and frizzy curls. She is studying a major in creative writing. She is smart, hilarious, bold and worldly.

Jennie has a girlfriend named Jordyn. They are engaged and are happily saving money to go to Spain so they can legally get married. They love each other very much and wish to adopt American girls someday and raise them as a family.

Jennie has been in Vogue, Marie Clair, CosmoGirl, and much more. I think she looks better in real life than she does in the pictures.

Jennie told me that the amount of make-up and airbrushing they do before a shoot to her is ridiculous. She hates it. Jennie didn't search for this though. She was discovered as she was shopping by her agent.

I just want girls to realize that the pictures are so incredibly fake. But the models are real. They are smart and some are even nice. (Not all though. Jennie says some are big bitches) Jennie wants to encourage girls everywhere to think that they are beautiful.

She feels guilty when she hears people blame the models. It's not her choice as to how much make-up they put on.

And ask yourselves. If the girl did have flaws such as zits or cellulite would you still find her beautiful? Girls are constantly criticizing each other to even notice the beauty.
