to show the world what real woman look like. When you look in magizines and buy clothes it never looks right on you, people need to see what these cute cloths look like on all body types.

I am 20 years old + size 16. I have beautiful features, shapely legs and a good height. I am confident with me body and quite photogenic. I like to look well ALL the time. I beleive big girls are just as beautiful as slim girls and should be noticed and admired equally for this. I know I would enjoy plus size modelling and i got what it takes which is why I would like to begin here. God bless all you big beautiful babes!

I was listening to the radio when Selena Gomez played, the words stung to my heart as i began reminisce about my child hood dream of being an actress. Then i saw an episode on Oprah on full-sized models and went Oh My God! i was inspired by that. and i believe that if i put my mind to it my body weight shall never block me from exploring my shattered dreams because after all who said im not perfect??? High five to all fully figured women out there xxx

I am a beautiful black woman, that has always wanted to be a plus size model, and i had been pick before, but all agencies want is money, but no work. I want my face put out there, that is more important to me than the money,

I would want to be a plus sized model to show girls my age (15-17) you can be and are beautiful, since there's more to love ;) and to do it for myself! We all need a confidence booster and this would definitely be it! This would be the best way to stop stereo-typing models. I know the best curve that I have is my smile :)

Every since I could remember, I only saw skinny, pencil thin ladies in the modeling industry. So as I got older I later started to see how the plus sized models were treated different. There's nothing skinny about me lol & I love that. Each and every body type should be treated equally. No one should be talked about or disrespected because her thighs are a lil bigger than the next & that shes a size 14 and not a 3!! Id love to be a plus sized model to show the world that my size is beautiful, how I embrace it each and every day even though I'm always talked about by someone, and how to show people that being "Thick" is the next skinny!!
