Have You Always Wanted To Be A Model?

Filed in Behind the scenes | Plus Size Models 2 Comments

I’m so excited about Love Your Body Day!   I get to (judge a modeling contest with Plus Model Mag, Brand, etc  The model wins a contract with Brand and a chance to join ranks of the famous Hips & Curves faces and to have her curves seen by millions of people around the world.)
I can’t wait to meet all of the contests and find out who we’ll do our shoot with.   I love working with sensual, vulnerable, curvy women.  I love how our lingerie looks on soft, feminine bodies.   I love the strength and vulnerability our models show when they get under the lights and stand (or sit or lie down) in the middle of our studio in lingerie, and bare their souls to me, the camera and the world.
What I look for in a model is someone who is totally comfortable in her body.  When she puts on a piece of lingerie she commits to the look and makes it happen.   When she’s wearing our products she can’t be timid or afraid or concerned about how her stomach, hips, arms – whatever – look.  She has to love and accept all of herself – even what she might perceive as her flaws.  She doesn’t just put on a piece of lingerie and pose – she lets who she is come through her eyes, her face, her body and the way she moves.   She gives 100% of herself and doesn’t withhold anything from the photographer or the camera.   She embodies strength and vulnerability.  During a shoot, we give everything we have – and the model has to give everything she has to make it a success.
Being a Hips & Curves model is not for the faint of heart. But it’s a wonderful experience for the brave, daring, sensual – or even the timid, who want to break out of their comfort zone and do something truly incredible.    Our models inspire people to be proud of their curves and their sensuality.  They are role models and powerful examples of embracing their feminine power   I’ve read the emails from customers and seen the faces of the crew during the shoots.  I’ve seen perspectives shift and eyes being opened for the first time. What could be more inspiring than seeing soft curvy figures, moving to the music and being free, confident and amazing?
If you’re curious, excited, confident (or want to be more confident) send us your pics!   Sign up for the contest.

Plus models on the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency?

Filed in Behind the scenes 8 Comments

Janice Dickinson, who is notorious for insulting and criticizing anyone whom she considers to be overweight, has agreed to let her son, who runs the commercial division, bring on two plus-sized models. Plus Model Magazine casted the two models for two fashion shoots in the September 2008 issue. I was the key makeup artist on set, and experienced the filming first hand.

A whole lot of preparation went into making this double shoot run smoothly, and of course, in keeping with Janice’s style, there was a whole lot of drama when she showed up to the taping. Sorry, I can’t give you any details! You will have to tune in this August to the Oxygen Network for the episodes featuring her new plus division and the Plus Model Magazine photoshoot. And be sure to visit www.plusmodelmag.com in September to view the editorials featured in these episodes!
