At a plus-size pool party, women show off their curves and confidence

In Los Angeles on Saturday, a couple hundred plus-sized bloggers, influencers—including model Tess Holliday—and other bathing-suit-clad revelers gathered to make a point—that all sizes of women should show off their bodies—at the Golden Confidence Pool Party. It was hosted by model and body-positivity activist Essie Golden, wearing a corset-style yellow bikini.

The event took place at the Custom Hotel, where everyone laughed, danced, posed for selfies, and yes, even got in the water. A similar party happened already this summer in New York, and another will take place in Miami August 13.
