Hi Nicole
I’m not sure if this is your real name, but totally understand if its not. You’ve been my favourite plus size beauty model for a some time, since my little company started to work, since 2005. Here, in NZ, my ladies are soooooo old-fashioned English style women, so when I arrived 15 years ago, from Russia, I was like an alient, walking in my black/gold patch suit, wearing for trips only. Anyway, I really feel you could make a huge difference in here, NZ, and I would like you to reply/contact me about it. My head is full of great ideas at the moment. I’m a Red Diploma Fashion Designer From Russia, since 1979. There were a largest Fashion Factory in Russia, back to Soviet Union, why took my Diploma Project for them to get an Engeneering and Fashion country project.
I’m not an idiot, and I can do a lot.
I beleive, if you and me could work together, we can create our company.
I really will waiting for your reply.
Regards
Irene

Wow – if I had any interest in modeling at all, I’d be great. I’m 5′11″, wear a 14 (but toned so I look pretty slim) and have a great face. I’m ridiculously proportionate. Too bad modeling is all about cheap immitations of what real beauty is. Don’t get sucked in everyone, nothing’s ever good enough for the public.

There are those of us who need to have models who are vertically challenged in this size range. Not all of us are 5′8″ and above. The clothing styles for women my height of 5′2″ make us look shorter and fatter than what we are. The dresses or skirts the are at mid-calf and lower do not help us. I am a size 12 and would like to see models my age (47) to be used in appropriate styles. I might have the platinum coming in (looking like it gets frosted) and have a nice looking face with high cheek bones. Models do not have to be tall and that needs to be considered when styles are made. Use colors and designs that will flatter each group of women. One style and color does not fit all shapes and sizes. We are doing ourselves a diservice especially as our society has become more obese. Work with us and not against us.
