The cover girl is supermodel Tess Holliday. Dressed in a swimsuit, Holliday poses on the cover blowing a kiss to all the fat-shamers out there. The headline reads "Tess Holliday wants the haters to kiss her ass."
Holliday shared the cover on Twitter with an emotional caption about the lack of representation of plus size women when she was younger.
"If I saw a body like mine on this magazine when I was a young girl, it would have changed my life," Holliday writes.
