Plus Modeling

Even though I love to write about fashion, beauty, and health, I do aspire to become a Plus Size, or Full-Figured model. The demographic for this type of modeling is HUGE right now. Modeling isn't just about looking beautiful and showing off dope clothing; it's about setting yourself as a role model to other females who may look up to you. I want to be someone's role model. I want to set a good example of all curvy women, letting them know that my non hourglass shaped self and chunk is sexy! 

That is the main reason why I aspire to become a well-known full-figured model. The models I often see in catalogs and retail sites are big busted with small waists and wide hips. UM?! Just like straight models, there are different shapes of plus size females. Why can't retailers have plus size models that are rectangle shaped, or apple shaped? Are these shapes not beautiful as well? Well, I certainly do believe that they are just as beautiful! 

By the way this is not trash talking about any models who are hour glass shaped. Just trying to make a point of different shapes of plus size models need to be shown! I'm not throwing shade at no one. We are all beautiful!

I look up to models such as Tess Munster who is not the typical hourglass plus size model. She is unbelievably beautiful with tattoos and piercings. Her career is huge and she's doing it big!! So, again, why can't other shapes be portrayed? No clue. When will this body shaming subside? Who knows. That's the modeling business for ya I guess.  

Here's an unedited photo of my first photo shoot ever! It was Valentines Day themed and I sported some sexy lingerie with no shame whatsoever! Ladies please learn to love yourself. I was skeptical at first of posting this on Instagram, but why should I have felt that way? I'm representing all the ladies who see models and wish they had the flat stomach, small waist, and wide hip body shape. 


Hopefully I can be just as successful as Tess Munster with my small boobs, rolls, and proportioned ratio of my waist to my hips. LOL
