After all the commotion over Lizzie’s picture, her story was featured on the Today show, noted as the most watched show in America. Also as a follow-up to Lizzie’s picture, Glamour did a feature article about her, showcasing more pictures of Lizzie’s gorgeous body including her now famous tummy.
Now known as the symbol for the “anti-airbrushed model,” Lizzie is making her way as a strong advocate against stick thin models. In February of this year, Vogue Curvy did a feature interview with Lizzie, including personal factoids and her opinions on the fashion industry. There’s even a video link on the site with Lizzie trying on various outfits.
