Kate Upton ecstatic over current curves

Los Angeles, July 26 (IANS) Model Kate Upton, 22, says she has been "begging" for the body curves that she now sports.

The 22-year-old blonde beauty recently opened up about her body in an interview with Elle magazine, and said that she has always wanted an attractive and curvy body, reports eonline.com.

She said: "When I first started modeling, I was a normal catalogue model. Then, I became a woman, and I was really excited about becoming a woman. Because I'm from Florida, it's all about being in bathing suits. It's a different view of beauty there.

"You are ugly if you don't have a curvy body...And I didn't have one, and then I got one, and thought, 'Yessss!'

"And then people say, 'Oh, wow, you're healthy.' And you're like, 'Wait, what? I've been begging for this body my whole life'."
