As lingerie models shrink beyond recognition, we're happy to hear about one stunner who'd rather fill up.


Victoria's Secret[1] model (and HuffPost blogger[2] ) Lindsay Ellingson[3] admitted to our friends at Fashionista that she prefers to have a fuller figure[4] than the one her industry projects. While she preps for December's Victoria's Secret fashion show, Ellingson is not feeding herself cotton balls[5] -- but fatty nut butters instead. Lindsay filled Fashionista in:


"I like to add curves, I think it's sexier and more feminine to be more full. So I add like almond butter, peanut butter, protein shakes to my diet, just to feel a little sexier and curvier."

OK, so she's hardly chowing down on cake. But Ellingson's diet seems far more relatable -- and more palatable -- than subsisting on egg powder[6] . And while Lindsay exercises often, "I try not to stress about it because that's never good," she says.


Amen, Angel.
