Ashley is so attractive because she smiles and laughs. Happy women are attractive. So whatever size you are, be healthy and happy and you'll never be ugly.

Ashley is a one of a kind woman and her beautiful isn't on the outside but her heart. The Father blessed her with a beautiful that can't be touch and with that she is the most beautiful woman I see. Men love a woman for her loving heart and her beauty will shine.

Thank you so much, I needed to hear this!

I find it completely amazing that a woman with her face could be insecure. Wow.

Ashley You are an AWESOME Woman. Keep doing what you do. Two thumbs up

Your amazing Ashley Graham! Thank you so much for your boldness! I'm going to work on having a new mind set about myself. In high-school I was bulimic. In middle school I was taking diet pills. I have struggled with the outward vision of myself & let society & myself dictate who I was supposed to be when deep down I knew who I was. At 51, divorced & having gone through a couple of destructive relationships I find myself at a turning point in my life, but still struggle to bring That woman out. Thank you Ashley. You truly are an inspiration.

Today's society and it's beauty ideals are so messed up. I have been watching old Hollywood movies lately. And I always adore Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren (my ultimate favourite). While they were/are all uniquely beautiful in their own ways, they have one thing in common_none of them have thigh gaps. Also, none of them are stick thin. While they are/were still lean, but they were never shamed for their curves at their times. We need to redefine our concept of normal. We need to redefine beauty. That's what we need today. *More Sophia Loren, less nameless anorexic models.* #nuffsaid

She looked like Eva Mendes when I saw the thumbnail

[@rollingdudes8859]

I would marry her in a heartbeat, but she is already married so it won't happen!!!!!

Que morena gata 💖💋

[@doitee52]

Is she still smoking cigarettes?

[@gyard7826]

You have a great smile and you seem like such a wonderful person, but your attempt at philosophy is sub-par. Feminist philosophy does not reach the truth. You could just say I am beautiful on the inside so I shouldn't have to be perfect on the outside, but instead you say you are just as gorgeous as every other woman, which makes you sound dishonest and envious, as if you cannot accept life without physical beauty in your own mental delusion.

[@anisharamlakan1122]

Different cultures have different standards of beauty, so it is okay for her to have her own definition of beauty.
