Plus-sized sexpot Whitney Thompson, who was crowned winner of Season 10’s America’s Next Top Model, has launched a new dating website for real women – The Big and the Beautiful – and RadarOnline.com has all the details.

"Anyone who has looked for love online, like me, is familiar with the cycle: post 'flattering' photos to get attention, then stress about the face-to-face meeting," explains Thompson. "I created this site so people don't have to stress over their profile, but can focus on the fun and excitement of meeting and dating other incredible people of all shapes and sizes."

"After winning America's Next Top Model and the response I received from being plus size, I immediately noticed a void for an honest dating site where real women can celebrate their curves," she adds. "The women enjoy meeting men who appreciate them, while the men enjoy being with young, fun women."

Thompson, who is the only plus-sized model to ever win top honors on the popular modeling show, is also the national spokesperson for the National Eating Disorders Association.
