I know the girl in the first picture. She actually suffers from the myspace angle effect even though she tries to avoid it. She's very comfortable with her body (she gets paid to show it off, actually: plumpprincess.com). She'll often end up surprising dates even when she explicitly tells them she's big -- they just don't believe it. She's a catch, for the right man.
