I saw Asshley too, in NYC around 15 years ago. It happened to be the day of the Gay Pride parade, which is maybe why she took the trip from South NJ. I was taking my niece to Penn Station to put her on a train after her visit. We were going down the elevator and I saw this gigantic brunette pear in jeans and a pride-friendly t-shirt coming up. I was totally enthralled but I didn’t realize it was her til she was maybe 20’ away and we shared a look — she knew she’d been recognized and smiled. I’d have said something to her (I love your work? Lol) except I was with my 17yo niece and it would have been awkward to explain to her mom. She looked a lot bigger in person, and the difference between her upper and lower body more pronounced.
The other encounter was more obscure, a tall SSBBW brunette who went by She Rolls with Rolls. She showed up a couple times on My Big Fat Fabulous Life and was a model for Adipositivity and such rather than a paysite model. Anyway I met her at a BBW meetup, the same time frame and again here in NYC. She was more attractive in person but oddly didn’t seem as imposing as her pics suggest, even though she’s very tall.
