I was on the double decker bus to Oxford Street the other day when I was stumbled upon this unlikely encounter. While the bus stopped at the red light in front of Primark, me who sitting on the top deck cannot believe on what I saw at the ad campaign at Evans. It's Toccara Jones! The plus-size girl on Season 3 America's Next Top Model gracing the ad campaign on the world's most favorite shopping street? I just can't believe it?
Who says plus size models can't make it into the mainstream? Last week ES Mag features Crystal Renn, a size 14 beauty who walk for Chanel recently and even features in Dolce & Gabbana ad campaign. And for Toccara to make it big in fashion, Tyra Banks could've never been so proud!
I love her quote...
'I think plus size is great, I’d rather be a plus than a negative. Plus means more, there’s more of me to love. I don’t know why people think it’s negative, because I don’t. Look “plus” up in the dictionary and tell me where is the sadness or negativity'
Toccara for Evans, on the far right (on the ad campaign, silly).
