Tess Holliday

Any second now, train...

Tess Holiday is a fat activist, and is currently the fattest model signed to a mainstream modeling agency. She started the #effyourbeautystandards movment on Instagram and is one of the best known frontrunners for the "fat acceptance movement". And yet, the question remains. Does Tess really love her body? Obviously not. No sane human being can truly be happy with 300lb of fat restricting their movements and crushing their internal organs. Like all fat people, she hates her body. One would think that someone who has suffered as much as she has due to obesity would encourage others to steer clear of it, but not Tess. If she can't be happy, no one can. Tess dedicates her life to encouraging impressionable young girls to fill their bodies with poison and to wear it a a badge of honor. Tess believes that giving fat people a hard time because of their weight is like being racist, homophobic, or misogynist. She dreams of a future where weight loss camps get picketed by Al Sharpton.

Before Fatty Activism

Tess went to school in L.A., where she claims to have been bullied for her fatness and whiteness. One thing that stands out about her life story is that Tess claims to have been "verbally abused" by her father over her weight. Given the loose definition Tess holds of abuse, this probably means that he wanted her to go on a damn diet. Like the spoiled shit she is, Tess goes by the philosophy that nothing mean of stern should ever be said to another person under any circumstances. Anything other than the constant asspats she's used to gets labeled as "abuse" or "bullying". Of course, all this does is marginalize the seriousness of real abuse. When everything is abuse, nothing is. Good going, Tess. She moved to California with her kid to live with her then-boyfriend, then dumped him the second she found a few chubby-chasing photographers to screw instead. Her real name is Ryann Hoven. She has some kind of aversion towards her old name, and denies that it was ever her name to begin with. Hmmm.....

	“	Former friend anon here, and well, nothing in particular other than that she's a whiny primadonna bitch on shoots. (Didn't do any directly with her, just more like a few models called to do pinup/rockabilly kinda shit and we were both at the same shoot, anyway) Most of us were content with doing our own hair/makeup or doing each others (I suck at doing my own hair) and sharing dressing space but this bitch. Oh my god. If any of you have roomed/worked with other girls, you know how there's always one that spreads her shit EVERYWHERE and brings way too much crap? That was Ryann. So much whining and passive aggressive "well I would've done your blush differently" or "that lighting was a bit harsh." She was also a complete cunt to any non-white models, which isn't a surprise considering she's from Mississippi. Before she started "modeling" in Seattle this twunt changed life goals every few months. First she wanted to be a lawyer. Then a doctor. Then an "actress." The "modeling" shit kinda just happened because she's that fucking thirsty for attention. I find it real funny that she's all "love yourself" cos back in the day she'd slut shame six ways to Sunday…let there's plenty of early shoots with her udders out and she's on her twitter with her ass out fucking constantly. She's also ridiculously jealous of actual, successful plus models (ESPECIALLY Robyn Lawley) and would bitch about how they "sold out." Um. Sorry if so disjointed I'm just tired AF and dealing with bronchitis. TLDR she's a two-faced entitled bitch who acts like she loves everyone but is the most bigoted hypocritical moo ever.	„

Public Image and Activism

In August of 2014, the actress Keira Knightley, tired of seeing the media enhance her breasts in Photoshop, agreed to pose topless for a magazine under the condition that the image not be modified. On this day, Keira accepted her body as it is, and made a statement to the media on their standard of beauty. On the other hand, Tess Holiday, who claims to go against society's beauty standards, spends a lot of time trying to conform to it. Tess cakes herself in makeup, heavily uses Photoshop, stuffs herself into corsets, does her hair in elaborate styles, and wears five inch heels. Tess partakes in the whole Rockabilly, pinup-inspired fashion that 90% of all fat chicks love. Why? Because men in the 1950's would fawn over her 300lb ass because Marilyn Monroe or some shit. Remind her that no one was fucking fat fifty years ago and watch her have a meltdown.

Yes, take a much slower method of dying than suicide, like diabetes.
