Just weeks after the release of Playboy's last-ever nude issue, rival Penthouse is make some waves of its own: The sex-focused magazine will feature a plus-size model in its pages for the first time ever in the January 2016 issue. 

The model, 43-year-old , shibaqq already has a following in adult entertainment, having clocked in a decade in the porn industry. But until now, Kelly's work has always been considered 'niche' or, more explicitly, fetish - made only for men and women interested in BBW, or Big Beautiful Women.

Now she's going mainstream by appearing in the national publication, which is earning a positive reaction from both men who dig a fuller-figured lady and feminists who are happy to see the sexy magazine being more inclusive.

Kelly is used to breaking down barriers in her industry. Before her most recent honor, she also became the only plus-sized woman to have her own Fleshlight, a masturbation tool for men modeled on her own vagina.

And she stands out in other ways, too. The half-Asian porn star didn't fit in with commonly-held beauty standards growing up in Japan, as she had some extra meat on her bones and grew breasts before her peers.

'The beauty standard in Japan at that time was that women were very small and petite and slender and didn't really have a lot of curves,' she told . 'I'm half-Irish so I developed early, and so when you're in sixth grade and you have a C cup, all the kids automatically assume it's just because you're fat. And so, I was bullied.'
