Plus-Size-Diva

Plus-size modeling promotes ‘real’ body shapes where models wear a size 12+. Their work encompass every aspect of the modeling industry: from fashion shoots and major campaigns promoting products on skin care, make-up and hair products to lingerie and swimsuits.

With over 60% of women being size 12+, curvy models are in demand and plus-size girls now forge fabulous careers and travel the world working for international clients.

** Why consider a career in plus-size modeling? **

Think of the clothes, the fun, the travel and an opportunity to work in a glamorous and exciting industry. Plus, it’s really rewarding to represent a new, and more representative, body type where ‘phat’ has a whole new meaning! (more…)

So I decided to take my girls to Panama City for a week. I was dreading the swimsuit on the beach and seeing all of the ’skinny’ chicks and feeling out of place…so I went shopping.

Nothing makes me feel better than S H O P P I N G!! LOL I figured I would probably never see any of those people again in my life…at least not til I went back to the beach…even then I seriously doubt I would recognize any one…I decided that I was going to be beautiful.

I bought me several strapless tops and a few new shorts and capris. I rarely wear strapless tops because I feel like I am hanging out all over the place. But I decided I was going to wear them and enjoy my time at the beach.

It was so beautiful down there! We didn’t want to come home! We spent lots of time on the beach, laying out while the girls played in the sand. We also spent lots of time by the pool and swimming.

We went to Seashell Island, got to see lots of dolphins along the way. It really was a lot of fun.

I spent NO time worrying about my weight, what I looked like etc..I just enjoyed myself as I sipped Margarita’s on the beach!

We are planning to go back before the summer is up. I can’t wait!

Ok so being volumptuous has its challenges…

One I recently had to face was buying a swimsuit. I have promised my girls a vacation to the beach this summer and I am not going to be wearing shots and a tshirt while there! So I set out to find me an affordable, sexy swimsuit.

I was a little disappointed at first. I couldn’t believe that some places are charging nearly $200 for a plus sized swimsuit! (more…)
