V Magazine's Plus-Size Issue Includes Whitney Thompson

V Magazine is the next magazine to get on the all-size-is-beautiful bandwagon. After Glamour published photographs of plus-size model Lizzie Miller in the nude (and looking gorgeous, by the way), there’s been an uproar in the fashion community to include more models of different shapes and sizes on the runways and inside fashion spreads.

V is going one step farther and doing an entire issue dedicated to plus-sized models.

“Big, little, pint-size, plus-size – every body is beautiful. And this issue is out to prove it,” V editor Stephen Gan said. The issue will include such gorgeous gals as Mia Tyler, Kate Dillon, Crystal Renn, Hayley Morley and America’s Next Top Model’s own Whitney Thompson.

This is a huge job for Whitney. She’s worked fairly steadily since her ANTM win, but hasn’t done anything as prestigious as this. I’m not the biggest Whitney fan, but a big congrats to her!
