Images from the upcoming V Magazine “Size Issue” have been steadily leaking out and I’m almost afraid to look at them anymore lest I ruin it for the January 14 street date.

The “One Size Fits All” shoot featuring Crystal Renn and Jacquelyn Jablonski (see it here) was hot, but I was all agog when I saw these photos highlighting a few lesser-known plus-size models.

Candice Huffine, Tara Lynn, Michelle Olson, Kasia Pilewicz, and Marquita Pring were photographed by Solve Sundsbo in a shoot featuring Guess jeans, Gucci swimwear, and bare skin.

I love that this shoot puts the models in very body-con fashions and they aren’t trying to hide the body parts that make them plus-size models, but are actually putting those thighs, hips, and bellies on full display. So sexy!

I knew I was going to love these photos the minute I saw leopard print.

How did I miss this?

While Kanye West got his Cindy Crawford on for A Bathing Ape, his girlfriend, Amber Rose, snuck in a layout for the January 2010 issue of Vibe magazine.

The photo shoot, titled A Splash of Masculinity shows Amber Rose rocking what I can only describe as a tiny blonde ‘wiglet’ and giving the masculine clothes a feminine edge. I think her face looks absolutely gorgeous in the photo above. Her skin glows and I always love a ruby red lip.

You know, I didn’t pay that much attention to them before, but I’m starting to really like Kanye West and Amber Rose together. Individually, they can be a little bit too much, but together, it all makes sense.
