Uncover how celebrating
your real self can shift your mindset and make you unstoppable.
When we first connected with Alyssa Ross (@itsgibsonross) back in July 2020 for a FaceTime photoshoot, it was a time when the world was learning to adapt to new forms of creativity. Even through a virtual lens, Alyssa’s radiant natural beauty shone brightly, leaving us eager for another opportunity to capture her in her element.
Fast forward to today—she’s now in Los Angeles, where we recently photographed her in person, celebrating her natural curves, and undeniable confidence.
As a Bare Model, Alyssa embodies the spirit of OBARE—embracing her soft curves, naturally gifted derrière, and yes, the cellulite she proudly celebrates, OH, and let us not forget her beautiful freckles.
“It’s just part of who I am,”
Alyssa says with a smile, noting how she’s learned to love every inch of her body, imperfections and all.
Embracing Your Natural Features
Q: How do you feel about your curves and cellulite?
A: “I’ve learned to love every inch of my body. Curves, cellulite, and all—it’s part of what makes me unique. Being a Bare Model really helped me embrace my natural shape and feel confident in front of the camera.”
Q: Freckles are a signature part of your look. How do you feel about them?A: “My freckles are part of what makes me unique. They remind me that beauty isn’t about perfection—it’s about embracing what makes you different.”
Q: How has being photographed changed your perspective on self-love?A: “Being photographed without filters or heavy makeup helped me realize that confidence comes from self-acceptance. It’s about loving the skin you’re in, not changing yourself to fit someone else’s idea of beauty.”
“My freckles are part of what makes me unique,” she says. “They’re a reminder that beauty isn’t about perfection—it’s about embracing what makes you different.” It’s this same mindset that fuels her unapologetic approach to her curves, her cellulite, and the features that make her feel like the best version of herself.
Q: What advice would you give women learning to love their bodies?A: “Don’t try to hide what makes you unique. Celebrate it. Whether it’s cellulite, freckles, or curves, loving yourself as you are is the first step to true confidence.”
