I remember reading something here about babies recognizing and disliking fat faces and I think that's in play with fat models. They whined until the industry gave in but no one actually likes what they look like. So real models need to have some kind of trademark (a mole, gap teeth, etc) so that they stand out and are instantly recognizable. The only thing anyone will ever fixate on with a fat is their size, so what they look like doesn't really matter. Especially since they're going to be slathered in makeup anyway. Tbh the only reason I know when I'm looking at Tessmess is by checking her tattoos. Even in these albums I check the names to be able to tell them apart.
