"Their first approach with me is either they don’t know who I am at all and they’re like, ‘I like curvy women,’ or they’ll be like, ‘You look kind of familiar, are you that girl?’" she said. "… It takes them a little while to realize that yes I am [that girl] and I have sexual needs and pleasures."

Blonsky also told Page Six what partners can expect when they enter a relationship with her: "If you date me, you’re going to get a lot more than you bargained for. You get my physical [attributes] and you get my emotions and my beliefs, and you get my family — and they’re a trip."
