The 24-year-old proves that fashion designers can make great clothes for women size 14 and up.

This is Ashley Nell Tipton. If you don't already know, she's the first plus-size fashion designer to ever appear on Project Runway.

That's in all of 11 YEARS of television, y'all.

In last night's finale, the 24-year-old (that's right, 24-year-old) won Season 14. Which isn't a surprise, if you saw the designs that were suspected to be hers during New York Fashion Week.

Tipton beat out fellow contestants Edmond Newton, Candice Cuoco, and Kelly Dempsey.

Paul's book, Our Presidents & Their Prayers, a 36,000-word account about the faith of U.S. presidents, had only sold 80 copies in the first six days, according to the BookScan numbers. Today the number of sales for Paul's book stands at 440 through Sunday, according to sources with access to the numbers.

For comparison, Donald Trump's latest book, Crippled America, released on Tuesday, sold 174 copies of "only pre-sales that have come through our panel of retailers," according to a Nielsen spokesperson.

A publishing source notes that Trump's number isn't a good representation of sales because data provided was pre-sales, and the next update of the sale numbers (next Wednesday) would only provide sales data through Sunday. Meaning, Trump's number of sales are likely far greater than the number taken on Wednesday. Still, the book's numbers far exceed Paul's early total.
