Supermodel Tyra Banks has said that she doesn't like to use the label "plus-size" as it has a negative connotation to it.
The 40-year-old supermodel said that she instead uses the term fiercely real.
"I don't like the label 'plus-size'. I don't want to use the term 'plus-size', because, to me, what the hell is that? It just doesn't have a positive connotation to it. I tend to not use it," huffingtonpost.com quoted Banks as saying.
Banks is currently campaigning with Special K to ban 'fat talk' and promote positive body image.
