    Anansa Sims, the 24-year-old daughter of model Beverly Johnson, recently posed in the buff for the November issue of Glamour magazine for the beautiful bodies spread,
    which featured only plus-sized women.
     
    Besides wondering what's in the water over in Hollywood (athletes Serena Williams and Dwight Howard also posed nude for magazines this month), we thought the photos were amazing.

    One of seven models the magazine chose for their beautiful bodies spread, Anansa got some great motivation from her famous mom.  who was the first African-American to cover Vogue magazine in the '70s.
     
    “I did a shoot in just a bra and panties,” Anansa told Glamour. “I didn’t think much of it until my mom saw the picture and said, ‘Anansa, this is history.’”
     
    Years ago the famous spawn lost 40 pounds to become a traditional model's size, but eventually stopped modeling. She received an M.B.A. before taking up the profession again as a plus-size model.
