In 1999, XL Girls magazine was launched as a spin-off of Voluptuous magazine, driven by the demand from readers for content featuring curvy, plump naturals. The editor of XL Girls, Karl Hyppolite, noted that the initial focus was on models discovered by Voluptuous, but as interest grew, dedicated scouting for XL Girls models began. This evolution allowed XL Girls to establish its own identity while still being closely related to Voluptuous. The magazine aimed to provide a platform for well-rounded, curvy women, celebrating their beauty and professionalism. The term "Rubenesque," inspired by the 17th-century artist Peter Paul Rubens, highlighted the appreciation for fuller-figured women.
From its inception, XL Girls featured models who also appeared in Voluptuous, presenting a section called "Plumper of the Month." The positive feedback from readers indicated a strong interest in a publication solely dedicated to larger ladies, leading to the decision to create XL Girls.
The first special edition, titled SCORE Special edition #29, showcased the best plumpers, emphasizing that the magazine was "100% SILICONE FREE" and featured "BIG TITS AND BREEDING HIPS." Over the years, XL Girls has consistently featured a variety of models, offering a compilation of images that celebrate the unique beauty of curvy women.
The magazine continues to highlight and honor the achievements of these models, showcasing their figures and talents. As XL Girls moves forward, it remains committed to its original goal of celebrating curvy and sexy women.
