Ya favorite bangin’ becky Kate Upton just landing the modeling world’s version of Nirvana. She covers the June 2013 issue of Vogue, making her third appearance on the cover of the high-fashion magazine, her first in the United States. The cover marks Upton’s move from swimsuit model to high-fashion model. And of course her interview and the accompanying shots don’t fail to feature her favorite assets. Peep some excerpts from the interview below, via VOGUE : This year’s Sports Illustrated cover—a shot of her in Antarctica, parka open to reveal a stunning breadth of cleavage—set off a fresh round of “Is she fat?” conversations across the Internet. “It was hard at first,” she admits of hearing such rumblings. “You sit there and you’re like ‘Is something wrong with me?’ ” But she’s learned to ignore her critics—and come to regard her healthy body as a point of pride. “The things that they’re rejecting are things that I can’t change. I can’t change my bra size. They’re natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can’t change some things. I really just live my life. I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.” It doesn’t hurt, by the way, that Upton has a sense of humor about this subject. She deadpans, “It’s kind of funny to think, Oh, wow, the news is talking about whether I’m fat or not.” Upton has retained a cheerful ambivalence about runway modeling. “I’ve always loved fashion,” she says, “but it’s not what I set out to do.” Hit the flip for more photos and quotes from the interview!
