Tess, you've given me the confidence to leave the house in a dress without feeling the need to wear a cardigan; something I could never do before! Thank you for everything you do, as a teenager I would never have imagined a plus size woman on the cover of a magazine but you have shown me that it's possible to be big AND beautiful! You are fabulous xo

I think we are both surprised to see someone like me in the media! Ha! I hope when you are my age there are people of all walks of life gracing magazines! ❤️ thanks for the support!

Hi Tess! I just wanted to tell you that you've inspired me so much in my eating disorder recovery. I have binge eating disorder, and am not the body type that most think of when they think of EDs. When I get scared or think people will laugh, I think WTFWTD (what the fuck would Tess do??) and it's helped me through many encounters with assholes and self doubt. I love you.

I think it's really awesome how far you've come! YOU inspire me to keep going. Lots of love & hugs xx

Today is Transgender day of Remembrance #TDOR. Today we remember the trans folks we have lost to anti trans violence. Their lives mattered. #TransLivesMatter. We must end the structural violence which takes far too many trans lives, 22 trans women this year in the U.S. alone the deadliest year for trans people on record, probably because of better reporting on who these folks really were. We must say their names. We must continue the work to end the intersectional structural violence which took their lives. #NotOneMore #TransIsBeautiful (RP @lavernecox)

So over the moon to welcome my other newest member @curvesbecomeher to my @effyourbeautystandards team! She is my first voice from Asia, & the perfect addition! "hello lovelies! I'm Aarti Olivia Dubey, a plus size chicky from Singapore and will be an Asian representative for Eff Your Beauty Standards! It's been 3 years since I started blogging and years of internal struggle led me to making sweeping changes with my outlook on my body and on internalised fatphobia. As a psychotherapist by profession and as someone who has struggled with body dysmorphia, I know the struggle all too well. My peers in Asia struggle with body shaming and constant beauty standard comparisons, which is what makes me so unabashed about dispelling beauty standards. I've been following this movement like you have for quite a while and I am stoked to be part of something that talks about body positivity, size diversity and so many important facets of self acceptance. I look forward to contributing to the awesomesauce movement that is effyourbeautystandards and looking forward to getting to know You! Thank you so much to Tess and the team! 🙏🏽 @curvesbecomeher #bodypositivity #fatshion #plussize #psbloggers #sgig #sgbloggers #southasian #asian #effyourbeautystandards

Dear Tess, Thank You: For pointing out that beauty is more than what we are pressured to believe. For paving the way for more girls like me to be happy and love who we are. For showing the world that big can not only be beautiful, but it can be awe inspiring. For allowing me to feel like I am not less than everyone else. For showing me that I shouldn't lower my standards to suit others perceptions. I would have lived my life thinking I wasn't good enough if it wasn't for you, So Thank You.

Thank you for existing ❤️

Hey, Tess! I noticed that you love Disney and you visit Disneyland quite often! I am a HUGE Disney Nerd and a fan of yours, so I was wondering who's your favorite Disney Princess? Favorite Disneyland (Or any Disney Park) ride? Do you have a favorite Disney Character that you always have to meet at the Parks?? Favorite Disney movie?? I love all things Disney, and would love to know what you have to say! =) <3

Fav ride: It's a small world! Fav movie: The Little Mermaid Fav princess: I don't really love any of them, I like Ariel, but I prefer the villains. Cruella & Ursula are my fav

Need fashion advice for fall and winter. I'm sure lots of Plus size women out there are wondering the same thing so I brought the question to you. I'm asking for the all the adorably chubby short chicks with small feet. I am looking for knee high boots that fit my 20" calves, but also my 6-6.5 size feet. Any suggestions? Stores seem to think small feet means small everywhere and only have wider calves for sizes over 10. Please, help! <3 Also, thank you for all the inspiration!

I can't find any, sadly! maybe someone on here can help?

[tesshollidayofficial-blog]

Hi I just wanted to tell you go much of an inspiration you are. You probably get a lot of these, but I don't think you get enough. You are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, and being plus size as well helps me to know I can be beautiful without being skinny. Keep doing what you're doing, you magnificent bastard.

Wow- thanks a million!! Lots of love xx

[tesshollidayofficial-blog]

Hey Tess! I just want to thank you for your contribution to the fashion world and for putting everything out there for people who don't understand. You are a shining beacon of hope and a huge inspiration to me as a woman. I have friends and family and even customers at my job who say I should model. Do you have any advice on that?

Thank you so much! See my previous post xx

[tesshollidayofficial-blog]

Tess, first off I would just like to say how much I love you. You are an inspiration to me personally, I have been big and hated myself most of my life but I am working on getting my confidence up. I have been considering doing some plus size modeling and I was just wonder how you got started? I know it's something I think I would love doing I just don't know where to start...

Hire a good photographer, hair, makeup & a stylist or a friend who you trust with picking out clothing. Practice poses in front of the mirror, or download a timer app for your phone or computer & use that, it helps a lot. If you want to do mainstream modeling, make sure the images are clean, nice & simple. You want to show potential clients what they can work with! Good luck!!
