29 year old Tess Holiday was bullied for years about her size. She was told that she was too short and too fat to be a model but she's now managed to do something that took Kim years to achieve (with the help of Kanye of course) and that's land in Vogue magazine. She also landed a modeling contract.

The mother of one, who stands at 5 feet 5 inches, a size 22 and weighs 260, is the largest professional plus-size model in the business. In her words:

"'I feel like it's breaking ground, this  is a milestone. I never could have imagined that I could be here. It took a really long time to get over things that had happened to me during the vital years of my life,' she said. See more photos below:


Tess is now signed to MiLK Model Management after she was discovered on instagram. She's the first plus-size model of her size and height to be signed to a modeling agency. 

As a teenager, Holiday endured years of bulling during her small town upbringing in Laurel, and the abuse she suffered would continue through to her adult life and career. Holiday has a nine-year-old son, a husband, she works out with a trainer, and is now getting a steady stream of work. She posted some of these pictures from Disney Land. No matter how you look, there always a place where you are valued. Just keep trying.
