    I love the natural beauty of plus size models, they represent a better look at how most people are shaped, not rail thin! Great lens!

    Very informative article. I have never really wanted to be a model not even as a young girl. I do enjoy watching fashion shows (walk-ways) on TV but as far as being one not for me lol. I think the standard for modeling has improved but still needs to improve some more. Everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin regardless of their size.

    Although I enjoy following them, I don't envy the hectic life of the fashion model. I do envy the exceptional work you've put into this lens, though. Very informative, intelligent and great photos. 5*

    All my friends tell me that I'm very pretty, but for me, I see a girl that's been on a diet forever. I accept I'm medium boned and want to give modeling a try - gotta find a way to make some extra money. My cousin told me about and it worked! I learned I do have model looks and body shape and now I have the confidence to walk into agencies.

    Great article! Plus models rock. I am considered a "petite" model as I am short by the fashion industry standards. I know that I can be very successful if I put my mind to it and commit to being a success. The good thing about plus/petite modeling is that once you get a contract with an agency that backs you and puts you to work, you can make a great living. Not to diss fashion models, but before they become the Kate Moss's of the industry, they have to scuffle just to make it to the top for a very long time. Oftentimes, they don't get paid very well (even if they are a newbie on the cover of Vogue). It may look like a glamourous job, but it is not. Commercial modeling is much better in my opinion and many plus and petite models are very successful at it. They make great money and get WORK on the regular.

    Great article again, and if you have time, check out my article on promotional modeling, one more way to be fabulous and make money in the industry!!
