Just Flow with It
Most of you know by now that I work in marketing/ adverting. I love my job, let me say that right off the bat, but Fabulously Full Figured is my passion. I love clothes, shoes, hair, nails anything GIRL. Working with the companies that I have been blessed to work with over the years has opened my eyes to lots of things. There are so many beautiful people in this world and we come in all shapes and sizes. I happen to be 5"11 and full figured( loving it). But I have to tell you that I am about my health. I think that we as a society put to much emphasis on being thin and not enough on being healthy. I exercise everyday except for Sundays, I eat good food, and guess what I am still full figured. My body has changed, it is firmer in the right places, my clothes are smaller, however I am still full figured! Stop comparing yourself to other people, you are a beautifully wonderful, beautiful human being! You can be a size 2 and be unhealthy. Please yourself and if they don't love you as a 22, then they are not worth loving when you are a 12! Love and honor who you are and what you have,because there is only one you!
Chow for Now!

Your Foundations
Today I am going to share with you something that has been on my mind for sometime. Full Figured Women letting it all hang loose. Now there is nothing wrong with loving your body, because I love every inch of mine. However there is a right and a wrong way to carry yourself.Last week, I was on a job and the designer was casting models. His clothes are wonderfully elegant and he is a very well known designer. This is the first time that I was able to talk him in to using actual FFW( Full Figured Women) so of which are friends on my Facebook page.
Needless to say that most of these ladies are stunning, totally and completely beauty. Most of them were very well put together, then there was those who had left the house without the proper foundations. Now use like a house, if you build it with a bad foundation or it has a crack in it's foundation it is going to crumble, correct? So why would you leave the house without yours?
Ladies, your bras, underwear, panty hose, SPANX are all a part of your outfit, they hold you up and in, they smooth you out. They make your perfect outfit look FABULOUS!!!! If some of the most famous Skinny women wear them, Kim K, Gweneth Partrow, Beyonce, then you know they must work. There is nothing wrong in loving your body, but if you look in the mirror and there are things out of place there is nothing wrong with loving your SPANX.
Chow for Now,

Full Figured Monday Inspiration
Whitney received favorable reviews on her looks and photo shoots on and off. She was often accused of being too beauty pageantry and was even once compared to Anna Nicole Smith (who's idea was it to turn her into a blonde anyway - oh yeah, Tyra's) We all know that Anna Nicole was Beautiful!. Despite the negativity she managed to maintain and win the title. Whitney this weeks FFF.

How to Become a Plus-Sized Model
How to Become a Plus-Sized Model
Becoming a plus-size model may require a little extra height and an ideal size range, but you'll also need drive and a tough skin to make it in the industry. If you've got what it takes and you're interested in plus-size modeling, review the basics to get started and get your portfolio out there.
Create Your Portfolio
When you're first breaking into the industry, you won’t need a full portfolio to begin making inquiries. Instead, concentrate on photographs that show your natural beauty and that aren’t particularly staged or posed. Aim for at least one high-quality face shot and a full-body shot in simple, flattering attire.
•Note: If you have poor-quality photographs, it's advised to arrive at the agency without photographs. If you are a beginning model and show potential, many agencies will understand.
Contact Agencies
You'll need to get in touch with modeling agencies to jumpstart your professional career, but educate yourself about the "right" agencies. Check out potential agencies' reputations with other professionals in the industry, and never pay fees to apply or sign onto an agency.
Call the top three agencies in your area and schedule appointments to meet. On the day of your appointment, wear comfortable, semi-casual clothing that fit well. Consider wearing a pair of kitten heels to add a little extra height without being overly obvious.
Attend an Open Call
Open calls can be an overwhelming experience, particularly if you find yourself in a large group of hopefuls.
•Some agencies may have you fill out an extensive form before speaking with you. You will need to identify your contact information, interests, measurements, and experience. You may also be measured by the modeling agency representative.
•Smile, and don't let any criticism get to you. As you attend more casting calls, you could hear comments on your headshots or figure. Simply say thank you and move on.
•Know that if you do get signed, you'll be expected to create a portfolio, as well as comp/zed cards. While this is a substantial cards, do not pay an agency to be on their website, to be represented, or to attend their school.
Plus Size Modeling Requirements
While you may need to fit into a certain size to become a plus model, that's not all. Plus models are generally 5'8" to 6' in height, and wear a size 10 and up.
Other guidelines include:
•A proportional figure
•
•Shapely legs
Note: Fit models may be required in larger sizes or shorter heights than standard plus-size modeling, and it’s worth inquiring when you call agencies.
