Curvy News: Curves in Bikinis in Sports Illustrated

Remember last year I shared the news of the Curvy Girls makeover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue?  Well, now it seems the people at Sports Illustrated have decided to have the gorgeous Ashley Graham in a Swimsuit for All advertisement. This ad with Ashley in the gorgeous black Swimsuit for All bikini will be featured in their annual swimsuit issue.

 It's great that a curvy full-figured woman is featured in Sports Illustrated, especially the famous swimsuit issue.  And yes, there's a but.....But just one ad? That's it, even if it's on two pages; or is that online?  Why not a photo shoot showing her beautiful curves featured with the other models?  Will men not lust after her too, or is her body too curvy?  Are her boobs too large?  Is she not pretty enough?

Well, as one of the readers commented, "...baby steps".  Yes, baby steps, first an advertisement in the magazine, next the cover?!. It's great that Ashley will be in the magazine.  What are your thoughts on this curvy divas?
