Back before social media was all the craze and in the days when magazines featuring curvy models were popping off the shelves, you could find Coco Austin on many of the covers. So there’s no wonder this model, otherwise known as rapper/actor Ice-T’s wife with the big booty, feels she may have paved the way for thick models.
She wants you to know that when she began her career, there weren’t many “curvy” women in the modeling industry. In a recent Instagram post she wrote, “I helped pave the way for thick girls during the skinny genre (during the Kate Moss days what they call the waif era) to be noticed as beautiful…this was back before social media when magazines were popping, back before KimK, Nicki Minaj..( I mention them because young people see pop culture as the history makers but they need to know it started somewhere before them, this was also back before the plastic surgery craze.”
