Ive always been happy.

I have always been bigger my whole life. Ive always been interested in being a plus size model. I know I am beautiful the way I am and I know I could do this is I set my mind to it. Im so into fashion. Im a hairstylist. Im 20 and I would love to be a part of the modeling world to let other girls know it is okay to be comfortable in their own skin. It took me years to get to the point that Im at because people teased me so much growing up. But Im sucessful and I will never give up this dream.

Perfect For The Job

I have always wanted to be a model but i always felt like i had to be skinny in order to pusue that career. Since forever i have been a gorgeous girl but never had the "right" look. in the real world i would have the perfect shape but in the Hollywood world i would be overweight. I'm 5'9-5'10 and 170 pounds just searching for my chance....

Sexy Grandma

I am not sure that I have always wanted to be a plus model, but I have always wanted to be a model. Consequently in my later years I have gained a few extra pounds. I am sure at this point I would definately be considered to be a plus model. Even wearing plus sizes I feel extremely confident that I would make an excellent plus model.

Shot Down & Fight Back

I am 14, 5'7, and 138 to 140 pounds. I seem to not quite fit the ' mold ' of being either a plus size OR a normal model. I look for a chance in any situation and I feel confidante enough to say that I would love being a plus size model! I fought off eating disorders after the realization I couldn't be thin enough for ' real ' modeling, and am now healthy as can be :3. I only have experience in acting and singing, so NOT quite sure how that would help!
