We aren't lazy, overweight models. We work out and must maintain proportionate bodies for work. Plus models are curvy and fit. Don't let the scale fool you. Plus doesn't always equal unhealthy, just like skinny doesn't always equal healthy.
Modeling is about fantasy, getting people to buy into a lifestyle and a vision.
Modeling isn't for the faint of heart, you have to really want it and work hard for it.
I love the plus (fashion) industry! It embraces a lot of women who would otherwise disappear into the background. I truly love what I do!
My advice to aspriring models is less is more, try not to do crazy hair and makeup, keep it simple but beautiful when you're trying to find an agency and get started.
