A woman who is naturally thick, strong, and well-built—like she’s been raised on real food and hard work, not processed nonsense. She ain’t no fast food snack—she’s a whole farm-to-table entrée. Muscles, curves, and attitude all in one juicy package. Think curves, power, and presence. She’s healthy, hearty, and holds it down.
