In her poem, "Full Figure Potential-A Fat Girl's Blues" Georgia-me, highlights the age-old excuse that beauty is skin deep, but any plus size woman knows that it is just that, an excuse. However, times have changed, thanks to plus size models like Tara Lynn; the world has come to appreciate the plus size woman. The plus size woman is beauty-full, hot and most of all she is here to stay.
Fashion and design companies have also come to appreciate this fact have introduced plus size lines to their designs. Here is that opportunity, a dream come true. Do you want to be on that line up, that commercial or pin-up.
Here is how to get started, and get there
The most important question is whether you want to be a plus size model. Talk to your friends; are you confident in front of a camera? Knowing what you want is the first step to getting it. Are you larger than size 10? If yes, you are in the right place and the design companies are looking for you.
Bear in mind that plus size modeling is a career, you have to give it your all and just like other jobs it comes with challenges you have to face and overcome. It calls for commitment and perseverance.
You have to be careful about the agency you join, it has to be genuine and you can know this by looking for referrals from other plus size models. Attending open calls for various modeling agencies, you will meet more models who will share their experiences with you (call this market research). This will open your eyes to the realities of plus size modeling.
Watch how you dress, keep it simple and stylish, take some high quality photos and take them to different modeling agencies. Find a talented makeup artist who knows what they are doing, this will be a plus for you because despite your beautiful body, a nice pretty face goes a long way to selling you, yes, you are a commodity now.
You will need to keep an open mind, you are not only into plus size modeling for the runway, opportunities such as fit and commercial modeling will present themselves; take them and sell them.
These simple guidelines seem just that, simple, but apply them and enjoy a flourishing modeling career, a plus in all ways. Further more the world is changing a lot and individualism is the new way to go. Be proud of who you are.
