Tess Holliday Biography

Tess Holliday is one of the most popular and richest Model who was born on July 5, 1985 in Laurel, Mississippi, United States. Ryann Maegen Hoven (born on July 5 1985) who is known professionally in the industry as Tess Holliday and formerly known as Tess Munster, is an American plus-size model blogger, blogger, and makeup artist from Los Angeles.

In December of 2015, Holliday said in December 2015 to Refinery29 that the charity was initiated by her with “pure intentions” and “My mother and I are both victims of DV.” She added, “The idea that I would willfully defraud the people who have supported me along the way, and a charity that touches on my own family’s struggles, is so upsetting.” Holliday acknowledges that she was unsure of how to manage the logistics of the event and was unable to keep pace with the demands, and also takes on the responsibility of some customers not receiving what they purchased. “The system we were using just didn’t work,” she claimed, attributing the missing items due to “one big batch that was lost by the post office” and “usual business discrepancies”. She was not able to make the charity donation despite paying “thousands and thousands of dollars” out of her pocket to a distribution and shipping center to ensure that issues that related to the product would be solved and that “ate up what little [was] left of the profits”. The woman said that she had made an “substantial contribution” to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. In January of 2016, the National Coalition against Domestic Violence’s Development Manager Dina Coates Koebler confirmed, “A donation in the amount of $1,000 was made to our organization on 12/13/2015 by Ms. Hoven.”

In 2012, Holliday met Australian businessman, photographer and artist Nick Holliday on Tumblr. They talked online for seven months before Holliday traveled to the U.S. to visit, and in April 2015, he moved from Melbourne to the U.S. On July 5, 2014, they got engaged. They secretly wed one year later on July 5, 2015. In January 2016, it was announced that Holliday was pregnant and expected to give birth in June. She gave birth to her second son in June

2016. Holliday lives with her mother, husband, and sons.

In late 2014, Holliday began producing a series of T-shirts with the phrase, “Eff Your Beauty Standards”, with some of the proceeds being donated to an organization that helps survivors of domestic violence. In December, approximately 140 orders failed to deliver to customers, though about 3000 orders were successful. A post on Reddit accused her of withholding money promised to charity, as well as not delivering her products.

The relocation into Los Angeles helped her gain confidence. In 2011, as she worked as a receptionist for an Los Angeles dental office she was able to become a professional model. She participated in ‘House of Dreams Model Search’ conducted by Torrid and was selected. In the same year, A&E chose her to become the face of documentary television show Heavy after she was discovered online. Then, in June of 2011, she was the face of the show and appeared on an advertisement that ran across the country as well as billboards throughout the nation. Holliday has been seen in “fatshion” blogs, she is a model for accessories and plus-size clothing brands, and was asked to be a part of Vh1’s The Big Girls Club. She’s shot a commercial in the name of Benefit Cosmetics, worked with David LaChapelle, featured in Vogue Italia and she has been on the cover of Nylon magazine.

Then, in the summer of 1995 her mom became disabled and paralyzed when she was twice shot at the top of her head by her fiancé who was charged with attempted murder. At the age of ten, Holliday as well as her younger brother returned home to the grandparents’ home in Mississippi as their mother recuperated.

Then, Holliday relocated to Seattle which she stayed in for two years. She worked as a makeup artist, hair stylist, and creative director for fashion shows. Then she returned to Mississippi and had their son (at at the age of twenty). After the hurricane Katrina she returned home to Seattle (where she posted some photographs taken for her boyfriend, and then posted them on Model Mayhem in October 2009) and then moved in 2010 to Los Angeles in 2010.

Holliday also self-describes as a “body positive activist”. She embraces the word ‘fat’ and advocates that people should be able to eat as much and whatever they want without suffering from social ostracism. In 2013, she started her #effyourbeautystandards movement on Instagram. The movement shows women that they do not have to be a certain size to love their body (big or small) and that their size should not dictate their fashion choices. Since February 2015, Holliday has employed a team of six social media specialists to help manage her message across the world. She has said that the movement has led to women letting her know that they now feel good about how they look and wear what they like. She also talks at public events about body confidence.
