Recently, girls with figures that we see on the streets appear on the catwalks. They are overweight compared to standard models. One of the first corpulent girls who decided to become a top model was Whitney Thompson. Before her, 5 girls with non-standard sizes tried their luck in a reality show. But they didn't succeed. Whitney Thompson, having an attractive face, the correct proportions of the figure, applied to participate in the Tyra show.
Short biography
The girl was born on September 26, 1987 in the town of Atlantic Beach (Florida). Becoming a model was her golden dream. In her home country, she appeared on the cover of Jacksonville magazine three times. Persistent Whitney worked in elementary school, took care of children before and after classes, studied at Duncan University. Despite the fact that Whitney Thompson's height, weight and other parameters were unsuitable for the modeling business (178 cm, 85 kg, chest - 94 cm, waist - 81 cm, and hips - 108 cm), Tyra, along with the judges, drew attention for a green-eyed chestnut-haired applicant.
Start
From all states of America 35 girls were selected based on videos and photos. Each applicant briefly told about herself, and 13girls who were supposed to take part in the reality show "America's Next Top Model". Season 10 began with the fact that 8 contenders were taken to New York. All the girls were different, and at that moment Whitney Thompson was lost among them. She needed to change her appearance. This is what the stylists did. They made her a bright blonde, extended her hair, applied spectacular makeup.
Tests
Every day the girls were brought to the shooting. Accessories were very different, as was the make-up that was applied to work with the photographer. Every day, one of the participants was expelled by a high jury, and every day their number decreased. The models were kept in suspense. Not always the relationship between the girls were friendly. Some immediately said that this was a competition, and they would not have friends.
What did they do with the girls
- In episode 3, on a yacht near the Brooklyn Bridge in the evening on a sunny cold windy day, beauties advertised underwear from Elle MacPherson. Everyone was frozen, but the smiles never left their faces. It was the first real test - becoming a model under any conditions.
- It was terrible to watch episode 4 when the girls were brought to the meat processing plant and "dressed" in pieces of raw meat. The action took place in such a way that the girls had to not only walk beautifully, but almost hug with damp carcasses hanging on hooks. Whitney hasn't shown herself in any particular way: neither good nor bad.
- In episode 5, multi-colored paint dripped down the faces of the models. The girls in the dilapidated building were asked to learn how to takevarious poses for a photo shoot. They had to show different feelings in the frame. Whitney Thompson tried, but she failed. She, as the judges decided, posed reluctantly and did not show a strong desire to win.
- In Episode 6, Whitney's musical talent brought out the musical style of the melody perfectly. She was marked as the best in this competition.
Goodbye America
- In episode 9, the challenge was to go to a party. Everything was evaluated: tact, manners, the ability to present oneself in society and conduct an easy, unobtrusive conversation. The girls were warned that the next thing they had to do was fly to Italy. There was no end to the excitement. Another photo shoot took place at the airport. Together with the suitcases, they, climbing the ladder, took spectacular poses. Whitney was average again.
- In episode 11, the girls were brought to the gladiator center. They put on armor, gave them shields and swords, and began to teach them how to handle weapons, not forgetting to show all their beauty, strength, confidence and calmness. After training, a photo session took place in an old castle. Whitney was recognized as one of the two finalists.
- In episode 12, the members in black and white shots had to pose in close-ups. The girls were reincarnated as Italian stars who are hiding from annoying paparazzi. Many liked Whitney's work.
- The mascara commercial made the girls even more excited. It was necessary to speak in frames, talking about the merits of the carcass. Our heroine was a clear leader. Model Whitney Thompson held thiswork like a pro. The next thing for the two remaining girls in the final was shooting for the cover of Seventeen.
And finally - the final fashion show in outfits from Donatella Versace. The girls were brilliant, and yet the best was Whitney. The 10th winner of the show was Whitney. There were tears of joy, numerous pictures with the judges. And, of course, prizes!
Whitney Thompson now
After the show, she changed her hair color and became dark, and then dyed it again. Before and after the reality show, the girl heard a lot of talk that she was a "fat cow." She stopped paying attention to it. Whitney was looking for an app for her powers and ended up opening a boutique for overweight girls and women.
In the photo she is wearing clothes from her collection. Whitney Thompson strives to prove that ladies in the body deserve to be happy. Their weight is not a barrier to marriage and career. She believes that the UK represents a very interesting market for size plus in this regard. Whitney thinks that you should only wear clothes that are comfortable. She loves bright silk, leather and black jeans.
Thompson gets on a bike and rides like all ordinary people. And she says that if she wants to, she eats steaks and chips and advises everyone who is not too overweight to just listen to your body and enjoy life.
