"We need to represent different body shapes and sizes and be examples for our younger women," said model Nikki Gomez, "that there are curvy models out there and it's okay to be full-figured."

Or at least you would think it is.One guy who showed up was flirting pretty heavily with all of them. For some reason, he asked if they were all single, which put up a few red flags. Isn't everyone there supposed to be single?
Turns out this guy's definition was different than theirs. "I'm not married so I'm still single," he said after revealing that he had a girlfriend. It was an open relationship that he insisted his girlfriend was totally cool with.

TLC's new three-part series 'Big Sexy' is exactly what it sounds like: plus-size New Yorkers Leslie, Tiffany, Audrey, Nikki and Heather are out to redefine what sexy really is (premieres Tues., Aug. 30, 10PM ET on TLC).These successful ladies love fashion and partying, and they're nothing if not honest. The series follows them to capture what it's really like to live large in the Big Apple.
The women don't shy away from showing it all on camera -- including a vagazzling session in the episode we previewed -- but this new bleep-filled clip really captures how feisty they are.
Watch as the ladies get their "boobies out" to hit up a party after some fashion shows, only to have a face-off with the club's bouncers.
