yes, I'm sure she works out but a lot of it is just genetics - where the weight goes
exercise won't give you pretty legs

a lot of it has to do with lipo and laser lipo
Not saying Ashley may not have enhanced herself but there really are women who are big and shapely naturally.
You can be hourglass at any weight.
Zero to do with weight, everything to do with ratio's.

Exactly! I am either a busty pear or an hourglass and that stays the same at all weights. My waist hip ratio is pretty consistent though it gets a little smaller as I get smaller. But at my largest I have also had a defined waist - it was just a bigger one!
That being said - in plus sized modeling, there is a lot of "hourglass privilege." Most of the popular models are hourglassy or very pear shaped. I can't think of an apple or ruler shaped model. So they aren't necessarily super representative of all of the body shapes. I think there is more body type variation in straight sized models.
Plus-size superstar Ashley Graham proudly put her curves on show in a mini-skirt and cropped T-shirt on Wednesday while promoting her new reality series in New York City.
The 29-year-old curvy model and body positivity advocate was all smiles as she showed off her legs in the black and white striped design, which featured a bright orange waistband, happily waving at the cameras as she made her way into AOL Studios.
To accentuate her hourglass shape, Ashley had her white T-shirt tied in a knot at her waist, exposing a sliver of her stomach, while discussing her new Go90 show, The Ashley Graham Project, for the company's BUILD Speaker Series.

She is insufferable. I love this outfit on her. Looks way better than some of the other stuff she wears.
Bevy Smith on XM Radio was interviewing her yesterday. She was really full of herself. And Bevy was gushing all over her. Apparently there are lots of large girls and women who idolize her and cry on her shoulder (literally) when she makes appearances. I guess it's a good thing. But I have mixed feelings. I think she could be responsible for a lot of big (not big like her - obese) girls going around dressed like they're sexy.
Maybe they are sexy to someone...perhaps not you but if they're feeling sexy, it's probably because they are sexy to someone else. Most men I know who love bigger women are attracted to them because they find their confidence sexy. What's wrong with dressing sexy at any size? Is being/feeling sexy limited to a size 6?
Not at all. If you look like Ashley, fine, wear clingy clothes. But I saw a woman at the car wash the other day who was morbidly obese - I'm talking big rolls of fat - wearing a super clingy dress. Maybe her man liked it but it was not a good look. When I see people like this I wonder if they have a mirror.
When men believe in themselves, it's called confidence. When women believe in themselves, it's being full of herself. Ha.
