Sports Illustrated Swimsuits For All

Last year, plus size model ASHLEY GRAHAM was in the "Sports Illustrated" Swimsuit Issue, but only in an ad for the company Swimsuits for All.  But this year, "SI" is actually featuring her in the issue, as part of their "rookie" class.

 In a very sexy Instagram post, she says, quote, "This is a dream come true.  Thank you to everyone who stood up for curves . . . our voices were heard and together we can help me win Rookie of the Year."

Ashley will also be in another ad for Swimsuits for All.  She'll be joined by a plus size model named Philomena Kwao, and a 56-year-old minx named Nicola Griffin, the oldest woman to ever appear in the Swimsuit Issue
