[Contains weight gain/expansion]
Neopolitan had taken the plus-sized modelling world by storm over the last few months. Her unique style, including her inimitable pink and brown hair, combined with her incredible camera presence, had her in high demand not just from people who wanted a larger woman to model for them, she was getting called for shoots that had been, before now, exclusive to only the stick-figure waifs that made up most of the modelling industry. Neo was probably two to three times their size, if not possibly more, but that didn't stop her at all, and it may have even helped her.
This shoot that she was just wrapping up now was a perfect example of that. No model out there could fill and flaunt a pair of daisy dukes quite like Neo could, with her prominent and protruding rear being impossible to miss. It was as if Neo had somehow snuck a pair of basketballs into her shorts, only they were much, much softer and more shapely. Supporting such an incredible rear was a pair of mighty thighs, with more muscle to them than most people would expect. Along with that, Neo was also sporting a very wide set of hips that tended to bump into door frames when she wasn't careful. Fortunately, she was usually very careful, and much more nimble than her size would suggest.
It wasn't just her rear that the cameras liked. The strawberry pink crop top she wore was nicely low-cut enough that it perfectly emphasised her ample bosom, both by its size and by how the matching pink lacy bra created an enticingly cavernous cleavage. Neo's melons also helped draw attention away from features that some of the less open minded members of the modeling community didn't like, such as her chunky arms, even with the slightly frilly sleeves drawing at least a little bit of attention. Being so heavy-set, it was inevitable that Neo would have at least a bit of a belly. Fortunately, it was mostly flat, just large and wide enough to fill out her frame, while still giving her a noticeable hourglass figure that the cameras, and her fans, loved.
However, in the private changing rooms, away from prying eyes, all of that changed. With a snap of her fingers, her body changed. The pink panels of her illusory form dissipated, leaving a very different-looking Neo behind. This Neo was shorter, almost a whole foot shorter than her modelling form. As well as being shorter, Neo's form was also more squat. With thicker legs and arms, a wider torso, and much larger breasts, each one being bigger than Neo's head, Neo looked noticeably heavier. Her face also looked rounder, with chubby cheeks, a softer jawline, and the sudden appearance of a double chin, Neo looked undoubtedly fatter. No longer modelling, dropping her illusion put her in a much, much more casual outfit. Neo was now in a plain, white, button up shirt. The buttons above her stomach were undone, allowing her massive breasts more room and revealing the pink with black lace bra that they were nestled comfortably in. Even unbuttoned, Neo's breasts were still spilling out of her top, her shirt was still squeezing what little of Neo's breasts weren't exposed. The sleeves were basically skin tight around Neo's chunky arms, though fortunately not tight enough to restrict Neo's movement, assuming there wasn't some kind of special modification to make Neo's shirt easier to move in. Speaking of easy to move in, Neo opted for a pair of white denim shorts. While shorts like that may not have appeared to be the easiest to move in, Neo's fashion designer contacts set her up with shorts with some secret elastic in just the right places to allow for total freedom of movement.
Just as Neo finished dropping her illusion and started enjoying the view in the mirror, there was a tapping at her changing room door.
"Forgetting something, Triple Scoop?" said a cocky-sounding faux-gentleman. Neo turned and saw the equally unmistakeable visage of her friend and favourite photographer Roman Torchwick, with his iconic bowler hat and ginger hair. He'd tapped on the door with his cane, which he was now lazily pointing at Neo.
In response to Roman's comment, Neo rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers. More pink panels began to dissipate from the area around her stomach. As it all disappeared, it was clear that Neo hadn't dropped all of her illusory form. With the last of the illusion gone, Neo's true appearance was fully visible to herself and Roman. It was much the same as it was when Neo partially dropped her illusions, except with two changes, one minor and one not at all minor. The minor change was below Neo's waist, with her hips, rear, and thighs getting even wider, larger, thicker, making Neo very bottom heavy. This was even in spite of the major change to Neo's appearance, that being the sudden appearance of a massive gut. It was like Neo had swallowed a fully inflated yoga ball whole, being so round and smooth. It pushed out so far that it strained the buttons of her shirt, revealing Neo's pale skin in each gap between the buttons. It also hung down so far that it covered Neo's shorts from the front, leaving only its coverage of Neo's thunderous thighs and ridiculously large rear as the only evidence that Neo was wearing more than just a shirt. At this size, she probably could've almost gotten away with not wearing pants, as her belly would have covered her private area, although it would have left a very full moon on display. Also, with all this size, her shirt was also skin tight with her back, getting buried between every fat roll on her back or elsewhere, and it creaked concerningly loudly when Neo did literally anything, even just breathing. Neo was obviously in need of a larger shirt, but it was a very nice shirt, made of the finest, softest silk, and Neo liked the way it managed to make her look even bigger than she already was. Neo gestured to herself, now that the illusion was fully gone, as if to say "happy now?" to Roman.
"There you go. I was wondering if you were going to try to keep that semblance up all day," Roman commented as he leaned on the door. "It's almost criminal how perfect a semblance like that is for a model. Once they figure out how to clone you, it's all over for the rest of the models out there. Can't say I'd complain, you're probably one of my favourite models, it's always nice and quiet while you're around." he joked. "Now, wanna go get something to eat? I'd offer to pay if you didn't eat enough to match a couple of families on your own." Despite her size, as soon as Roman mentioned going out for food, Neo zipped across the room to his side. "Someday I'll figure out how a human ball of blubber, like you, can move so quickly." Neo quickly typed out a response on her scroll and showed it to Roman.
'I guess I'm just built different,' said the message, as Neo put on a smug face. Sure, smugness was basically Neo's default, but somehow Neo managed to look even smugger than usual, and Roman could pick up on that.
"Yeah, they never stopped building you," he teased, prodding her belly with his cane. "What are you now, a quarter ton?" Neo pointed up in response. "More than that? Yeesh, you're gonna need two chairs to handle all of that, maybe a third. Still, 's not like it's a surprise you're that big, with how much you eat."
'They say 'bigger is better', and I've got enough fans to know that's true,' Neo replied with another message. Neo's smugness was reaching dangerously high levels that not even Roman's playful rudeness could bring down.
"Yeah, no kidding. I think I heard some other models complaining that you were so much more popular than them. Imagine that, you get to eat and everyone loves you. I don't think the modelling world was ready for ya. Now c'mon, let's go eat. Make sure I don't have to roll you outta the place when you're done, okay?" Roman said.
'No promises," was Neo's response. To Roman, what that really meant was that Neo was going to eat the restaurant of all its food. Good thing Neo raked in the big bucks, otherwise there was no way she could afford all of that food, and there was no way that Roman was going to pay for it.
