<br>How thrilling to see that the enchanting Kelsey Olson--the fairy-tale princess of plus-size modelling--has appeared in a print ad in no less esteemed a publication than <i>InStyle</i> magazine.
According to Miss Olson's agent, Dorothy Combs, (at whose <a href="http://www.judgmentofparis.com/kelsey/comp04.jpg" target="_blank">agency</a> Kelsey is the star model,) this page appeared in the April 2007 issue of the magazine.
We hope to have a larger scan to offer soon, but in the meantime, here is a small version of Kelsey's gorgeous tear sheet. It's as lovely a headshot as any model has ever created, and by far the most beautiful magazine ad that Torrid has ever produced.<p><center><img src="http://www.judgmentofparis.com/kelsey/torrid69.jpg"></center><p>The California sunlight bathes our princess in a warm afternoon glow, making her fair tresses shine with a golden light. The blooming flowers in the background herald the coming of the warm summer months. Kelsey's dress is strapless and sleeveless--the most alluring style of all for a full-figured goddess, showing off the soft loveliness of her neck and shoulders. The photograph even displays a hint of Kelsey's shapely arm, to remind viewers that what they are looking at--this ethereal vision, who surpasses any of the magazine's regular celebrities in grace and beauty--is a <i>plus-size</i> model, and one of the most gorgeous women of all time.
We have no doubt that every viewer who was privileged to see this page in <i>InStyle</i> immediately thought, <i>"How I wish that there were a fashion publication which featured images of models such as this fair angel, instead of the cadaverous celebs who populate the rest of this magazine."</i>
Perhaps someday soon, that wish will come true . . .
