NOT A MODEL BUT I THINK I MIGHT GIVE IT A TRY ✨💜

People have been telling me for years that I should give modeling a try. I’ve always brushed it off, not because I didn’t believe I could do it but because I honestly don’t know where / how to start and I really just like taking bomb a$$ pictures for fun. It’s a bit of an escape for me. When I get in front of the camera I pretend I’m on America’s Next Top Model (is that weird for a 32 year old?) lol 😆 I also feel that it’s important to have different plus size body types in the fashion industry, everybody doesn’t have the FN model body type and that’s ok.

Anywho, any advice on how to get into the plus size modeling industry?

... Read moreExploring the world of plus size modeling can be both exciting and daunting, especially for those who are passionate about fashion and self-expression. While the fashion industry has made strides in inclusivity, many aspiring plus size models still face challenges when trying to break into the field. It's essential to remember that everybody has a unique shape and style, and representation matters. If you're looking to start your modeling journey, here are a few tips to consider: First, build your confidence by practicing in front of the camera and experimenting with poses that make you feel empowered. Creating a portfolio that showcases your personality, style, and versatility is crucial; consider collaborating with local photographers who are open to creative projects. Networking is another key component. Attend events, workshops, and fashion shows to meet industry insiders who can provide advice and support. Utilize social media to share your journey, connect with other models, and engage with brands that resonate with you. Remember, the modeling industry is evolving, and your unique perspective is valuable. Embrace your body and own your narrative!

i really believed she was a model
when I started my adult journey, my mom used to always tell me that ignorance is bliss, and that I am very ignorant.😂 Being the stubborn daughter that I am, I never believed her, and I thought I was the smartest and wisest 18-year-old that existed. That was a few years ago already so since the

Why I stopped “Modeling” cars! 🏎️
I intially got into “modeling” because I love cars! Especially the ones that people work so hard on I just think they’re so cool. With that being said modeling people’s cars gave me a huge confidence boost but it also made men look at me as an object and I hated that so I decided to stop doing it.

Models with the best catwalk
The difference between a good walk and an unforgettable one is in the details, and yes, your arms matter more than you think. One major runway tip? Let your arms flow naturally. Stiff or forced movements can throw off your entire presence, no matter how flawless your outfit or face card is.
