Letter from a plus size model
Since my childhood, I have always been chubby! Nothing was easy for me. My friends kept on teasing me and my family always criticized my weight. But more importantly, I couldn’t find any clothes that could fit me! I have been on many diets but none of them were successful! I couldn’t slim down anymore, so one day; I decided to stop everything and start to take care of myself.
At 18, I met a photograph who asked me to pose for him. He told me that it would help me to boost my confidence. As a result, I decided to take a shot! When I saw the snapshots, I was astonished! Never in my whole life, would I have thought about that kind of result. It totally changed the opinion I had of my body and myself, in general. After I published these pictures on internet, I got many compliments and tons of photographers asked me to model for them as well.
I am now a plus size model. I love my curves, I’m proud of them; and I’m not ashamed of showing them. I also like fashion and am always seeking for something different. I took part in many contests.
One of them was “Miss ronde France 2009” (translated by “Miss plus size France 2009”.) in which I finished 2nd. In May, I participated in the contest of “Miss plus size Universe”.
During my free time, I pose for many photographs, especially the talented and beautiful Velvet d’amour! I am the representative and the « face » of many clothing brands. I’m also planning on acting. Today, I’m proud of being curvy, it became one of my main trump card.
