Rubenesque

She's 21, born August 14, 1980. "I think it's great that XL Magazine readers get excited over girls like me," said Marina on the phone, after this issue of XL #58 was available on the newstands. "With a body like mine, I'd never have had a chance to model. Men and women, even kids, can be very rude and insulting when you're a full figured woman." We were so touched by this comment that we didn't want to spoil the moment by telling her that some of us here enjoyed draining our aching nuts over her pictures. (Not at the XL office, of course.) It's better to tell models that in person, if possible. She's 5'6", weighs 145 lbs and measures 38-31-39.
