When Lynn was the covergirl for ''Elle'', the picture was accompanied by the tagline 'The Body' implying that hers is the shape women should aspire to - rather than a slim figure. Since then, Lynn has become one of the faces of plus-size modelling. In an interview she admitted to being bullied at as a teenager: 'I was a size 14/16 (UK size 18-20) in high school, and it wasn't the easiest thing. (...) As a 16, I definitely felt like my weight was holding me back. I was supposed to have these bones protruding from my body and clearly that's not the case, and not the way my body's meant to be.'
