Tess Holliday / Ryann Maegen Hoven - Beached Landwhale model, Body positive and social justice snacktivist, and gigantic fraud

[The Hardest R]

We don’t see infinifats like Tess very often because of online ordering and food delivery. Twenty years ago if you happened to be in a Walmart you’d see megaheifers driving around in courtesy scootypuffs. I’m sure that very much continues to be the case today but it’s just easier for them to get goods delivered to their homes instead and spare themselves the embarrassment and potential ridicule. Just aware enough to see how abnormal their level of corpulence is but not enough to do anything about it.

I wanna see Tessy Tubster get married to hick like Lana Del Ray. Lean into trade wife or southern content,
I know she would never, because that means she would have to do something, instead of laying on the couch, sitting in the car or waddling down the street and shooting tiktoks.
It would just be so entertaining to see her shift personality, politics and fashion so she could cash in.

Her dead and gay career, such that it is, would probably benefit by reinventing herself as a “thicc” southern belle because there’s a bunch of obese southern belles. However she’s gone all in on being a Los Angeles*-based supermodel and can’t shift from that without feeling that she’s compromising her image. Because she’s going to have a comeback you see and she can’t be seen fatting around Mississippi when she gets that inevitable call to be on the next runway in London or Paris. So I guess she’s going to keep living out of hotels for the time being.

[FuckDuckSeagull]

I don't think Tess would have the "business savvy" to reinvent herself. In her mind she needs to be seen as the international supermodel the fat Heidi Klum of Mississippi who *made it* in LA y'all! As said before in this thread, living anywhere remotely rural would be admitting she failed.

The dating woes continue:

 

[HalfPricedAmHoleBuffet]

Well, Tess, when you’re also perpetually online that’s a little hard. Common denominators finding common denominators.

 

[Cherry Milk]

Those bangs

 

[Attractive Sexhaver]

Something tells me unwanted attention from suitors will become less and less of a problem for Tess as the years go on.

 

[The Hardest R]

I still think her dating stories are made up. She likes to post things that she imagines an attractive, high value woman would have to deal with. Just like her lifestyle posts are mostly made up or heavily exaggerated at a minimum.

It already is less of a problem. Exponentially so, as is her pRobLeM of finding another super waddle job. That's why she ain't asking--she's TELLING you--"May a man who is perpetually online never find me again...aMeN."

The start of this video is all tiktok meme quips, but you can hear the transition into how angry she is very quickly.

She keeps posting from the bed.

They're either made up or they're prospective clients and I can't help but think the latter.

It looks like her bed is set up again somewhere. No apartment tour this time, eh? It's obvious she's someplace she finds embarrassing.

These videos are ultimate cringe and go on for twice as long as they should. She's also copying a black creator's shtick ("everyone so creative!") while claiming Vouge is rayciss for having only one (there's actually two but Tess is dumb) model of color on a group cover. Tess is also furious about the lack of fatties in the group, as if Anna Wintour wouldn't burn down the set if she ever got a whiff of a hint that a fat had stepped foot on it.

"I've aKsHuAlLy been on some magazine covers?" she whines when someone pointed out that it was Vouge and obviously not going to feature obese women. You were on one major women's magazine cover, and it was a lifestyle magazine, not a fashion magazine - and your Cosmo UK article headline was "Strong, Fit, and Three Hundred Pounds." Your first major "cover" was in a gossip rag, People, which your agency planted by paying for the privilege. There were very few in between. Gorl, you are not a fashion model, you were a gimmick.

Excuse you, she was "featured in Vogue": Will 2018 Be the Year of Tess Holliday?

Excuse you, she was "featured in Vogue": Will 2018 Be the Year of Tess Holliday?

Her ignorance of the fashion industry as a whole is the most astounding part of this filler article between ads. Why can't Gucci make ready to wear super plus sized women's clothing so she can go shoppin' on Rodeo Drive, when everyone knows Gucci will make custom plus sized men's suits, muses Tess? Is that a statement made by someone who had been an active professional fashion person for three years at that point? (She made her mainstream debut at the end of 2014.)

Any major fashion house will make a custom anything for anyone as long as they have enough money - and as long as the house thinks the person will not embarrass them or reflect badly on the couturier. Many larger than normal men - like professional athletes - have the money and the desire to be fitted for bespoke suits, since there's no way they'd ever find something off the rack in their dimensions. There is a MARKET for couturiers to provide custom plus sized men's suits for due to professional sports.

There is no analogous market for very wealthy super plus sized women to provide off the rack luxury shopping experiences for. Tess could not have afforded a single custom couture dress or outfit even at her earnings peak, and there is not a market of short, squat, super mordidly obese women among the super rich that would make off the rack luxury profitable... and even if there were, ready to wear would be impossible to produce because there is no pattern to how people gain an extra hundred pounds or more.

Even beyond the "there isn't a market for it" issue, the entire cloth producing industry uses 72" bolts and cutting tables. The cost of custom manufacturing extra wide bolts of luxury fabrics upon specially made extra wide workspaces, using patterns that somehow magically fit all fat women well, for a non existent market, would bankrupt any fashion house before they even got started. There is no profit in it, so it is not a business that exists.

But all of this is too much thankin' for a poor lil high school dropout from Miss'ippi. Why caint them fashion people just pay her lots of money to ooze around with their fancy party dresses draped over her luscious rolls so she can use them as napkins? It's a mystery.

 

[DefCon Dumb]

Stupid bitch. It’s VOGUE, very high end, stylized, editorial content or used to be. Haven’t looked at a copy in literally decades.

I remember it as always being aspirational with a very high bar.

Looking at the actual cover photo when she moves away from it, it’s clear she’s really missing the point. The clothing the models are wearing is all ‘linked’ by color and type while still displaying variety.

She is angry, well beyond resentful that SHE isn’t on the cover. She mentions having been on plenty of covers. I remember only a couple and they launched nothing she hoped for.

Could there be more representation of bigger bodies, differing body types in fashion? Sure but what the fashion industry is doing works… or they wouldn’t be doing it m.

I just know Tess is imagining a ‘real’ modeling career but I don’t think she has any idea what that involves; although she certainly should by now. The basics; promptness, politeness, showing up when and as instructed, honest measurements… these are things that any aspiring model better master quickly.

She completely fails to recognize that her body simply doesn’t photograph well. She’s not capable of selling any illusion. I don’t know why exactly but she photographs’heavy’.

There’s no shape to her and she can’t do any of the major model walking styles. I look at her and all I a see is a ponderous mass and there’s far too much of that, as well as heavy tattoos for anyone to focus on whatever she might be wearing.

Her size and shape simply don’t allow for any designer to craft anything that would make her or anyone her size look good.

Even if she were far smaller and not such a bitch to work with, there’s nothing special enough about her to ever have given her a career that lasted more than the standard several years.

I've said it before, but the super-obese women carry their weight in different, weird places.
Tess and her hamhock arms. Charity from M600PL and the wings of fat growing off her backside. Kailyn Wilcher and her barrel gut. There's no way in hell to standardize patterns for obese women.
Her best option would be to have custom patterns made, and learn how to sew, or find a good dressmaker.
But that's too much work for Tess, it's easier to go online and bitch about it.

 

[Attractive Sexhaver]

Tess was the fashion industry's token fatty back when it cared about the criticism it got for the heroin chic years. She was never there to sell products or even change anything. She was there to look like a hulking mess next to actual fashion models so the industry could pretend it was more inclusive.

Now it's 2025 and like every other corporation that tried a variation of this scheme they learned that:

- Their actual customers didn't care about fat people representation in fashion
- Giving people like Tess a voice didn't fix anything. It just emboldened people like Tess to act more aggrieved and cause more problems.

Even if the con wasn't over, Tess aged out of fashion YEARS ago. It would not be hard at all to find some 19 year old with a thin girl's face and a body like a garbage bag full of cottage cheese on tiktok to be the new token fatty. They wouldn't have any of the baggage Tess brings either.

Tess, it's over. It's been over for a while. It's time to get a normal job.

 

[The Hardest R]

She keeps posting from the bed.

The headboard still looks like a hotel bed albeit a different design from the last hotel bed we saw her on. Doesn’t look as high quality so it makes me wonder if she’s moved to an extended stay hotel. Her keeping everything closely cropped is a sign that she doesn’t want anyone to know where exactly she’s staying.

 

[Angry New Ager]

Something tells me unwanted attention from suitors will become less and less of a problem for Tess as the years go on.

I doubt it's been much of a problem for her for many years now. I mean, she brought Nick to the US, and married his broke, hobosexual ass after lying that he was a millionaire businessman. If she had any better prospects, that never would have happened. Nick was legit the best man she could get by that time, and things have not improved for her since then.

Now, yes, I'm sure she still gets drive-by attention from obvious feeders, fat fetishists, and desperate foreigners, but she knows enough to ignore them. What really pulls her tail, I would bet, are the men who appear desirable, and who have their shit together, who she might actually want, and who dare to reject her.

Men who can give Tess what she wants—proof of her desirability, financial security, and the ability to make her the envy of other women—don't want her. Or, if they do, it's for casual sex on the DL; they don't want to date her, or be publicly associated with her.

So I suspect what really goes on when she meets a guy who meets her requirements (or close enough) is that she's the one who does all the pursuing, and is the one guilty of providing unwanted attention. It's typical of Narcs to choose a romantic target and think they can make that person want them.

For all of her girl-power posturing about how much men suck, it's obvious Tess is still trying to land one—because why would she keep showing up on TikTok making passive-agressive digs at the latest guy who ghosted her, or rejected her outright? If she didn't care, there would be no need to bother. But she's got a narcissistic injury she's got to soothe, and a man she hopes will see the TikTok post, know it's about him and feel as humiliated as she does.
