A plus-side model has become an unlikely internet sensation – by reclaiming the word ‘fat’ and proudly wearing exactly what she wants. And with the launch of her #wewearwhatwewant hashtag, Simone Mariposa from South Los Angeles has become an inspiration for plus-size women across the world. The 23-year-old, who wears a US dress size 22, makes no secret of the fact she is ‘fat’, spelling it out in capital letters on her social media bios. After the positive feedback from her hashtag, Simone is looking at new ways to continue her quest of empowering women.
