Brielle Anyea: "I don't care about it. I've been plus-size all my life, so I came to love the term. It is a descriptive name society gave me to make me feel like crap. However, the jokes on them because now I use it as my power. You can call me [a] 'model' or [a] 'plus-size model,' as long as you add 'And she's doing dang good!' after it."
"I would love for one day to be called 'model,' but for now, I am just very happy to represent a market that helps women feel beautiful and confident in their own skin."
Chloe Marshall: "The term 'plus-sized' doesn't bother me, as there are so many women out there [who] identify with the term. I do, however, have a problem with the term being used for a woman that is smaller than a size US 14. That is not 'plus-sized.' I would love for one day to be called 'model,' but for now, I am just very happy to represent a market that helps women feel beautiful and confident in their own skin.
Leslie Sidora: I am not for it, and I'm not against it. I consider myself [a model]. If [the term] makes people happy, that's good, but I don't want [it] to be misused, thinking that plus-size is only size 16. There's so many people in between who need representation, too.
