"That's not our demographic."

My name is Nancy Upton. I'm a size 12 and wanted to show American Apparel my fresh face (and full figure). My good friend Shannon Skloss came over to take some "booty-ful" photos of me...but I just couldn't stop eating.

I came in first place in the AA 'Next BIG Thing' contest, but won't be modeling for the company any time soon.

"How much does the creator’s intent matter in art?"

Excellent, EXCELLENT story over at The Beheld about beauty, satire and whether or not our photos hit the mark. Really fantastic reading. Had to hop up from my history studies and post it immediately.
