Top Models in Action: Whitney Thompson
April 2, 2009 by Erin Balser
Last night’s Top Model in Action was America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 winner Whitney Thompson. Whitney has capitalized on being the first plus-sized model to win ANTM and has been working fairly steadily since her win. She’s a Fashion Bug spokesperson and has appeared in campaigns for MetroStyle, JC Penney and more.
I’m not the biggest fan of Whitney but I do believe she can have a long and healthy career as long as she understands her market. Based on the choices she’s made so far, I think she does!
Whitney Thompson & McKey Sullivan on Yahoo Shine
March 19, 2009 by Erin Balser
America’s Next Top Model winners Whitney Thompson (Cycle 10) and McKey Sullivan (Cycle 11) stopped by Yahoo Shine the other day to talk about how to get eye makeup that’s Hollywood ready.
Makeup artist Rebecca Restrepo takes the two ANTM alum under her wing and shows them how to get runway ready makeup. It’s essentially a 10-minute infomerical, but it’s always fun to see the kind of work former ANTM winners get.
I can’t embed the video, but you can watch it for yourself here.

MADE – MTV Shows
It was nice of Whitney to take time to visit this girl for MADE. It’s too bad the available clip is really brief. I wonder what else they talked …read more

Whitney Thompson at Faces of Fashion Party
February 19, 2009 by Erin Balser
Whitney Thompson, winner of Cycle 10 of America’s Next Top Model, attended the LuxuryFashion.com’s “Faces of Fashion Week” party that also doubled as Aubrey O’Day’s 25th birthday party on February 17.
I have no words for this photo. Okay I do. Get a bra. Get a better dye job. Seriously, Whitney. It’s like she’s trying to summon CariDee’s worst red carpet moment ever and topping it. The dress is cute, but it does not fit her at all, and thus, makes her look trashy.

Earlier the same day, Whitney attended the Baby Phat & KLS Collection Fall 2009 …read more

MSNBC named their most influential women of 2008 and America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 winner Whitney Thompson made the list, being the first person appearing on their retrospective slideshow.
MSNBC applauds Whitney for breaking down fashion doors and showing America that thinner isn’t always the winner and hope that her 36-32-43 measurements will usher in a new era of curve-worship.
While I think the sentiment behind this accolade is nice, I just don’t think Whitney has the portfolio to back this up yet. Had MSNBC spun this as an “inspiration for young girls” nod or as a …read more

The Deal Divas went shopping with and interviewed Cycle 10 winner Whitney Thompson earlier this week. They talked about the usual Whitney topics-how’s she’s a regular-sized girl and a plus-sized model and loves it, her desire to be a role model for young girls and change the fashion industry and more.
She also plugged Fashion Bug and Right Fit a lot. I guess that’s what being a good spokesperson is all about. She also mentions that some of the girls from ANTM have lashed out at her lately:
“The interesting thing though is that the girls who I …read more
