For this particular casting, PLUS Model Magazine is helping an up and coming designer with model selection, so for you PMM readers, make me proud and send me some great submissions.

This designer is looking for plus size models sizes 14 – 18, Caucasian or Hispanic looking. This means you don’t have to be either, but this is the look they are going for.

Your submission should include:

Clean head shot – not a lot of makeup

Full body shot – not in a wedding gown, or flowy dress. We need to see your body. (example jeans and a top)

Size you wear in Dresses, tops and pants

If you know your measurements, please include.

Please do not send nude or overly sexual pictures and spell check your email.  Any other questions should be asked to the designer directly.

Please email your submissions to plusmodelmagazine@gmail.com. Only complete submissions from models in the NYC area will be submitted.

You don’t have to be a model, writer or designer/brand to be a part of a positive movement. What are you doing to further a more positive outlook on plus size women, models, fashion, etc?

I’m pretty over plus size models complaining that they are being called “plus size”… then get out of the business! Plus Size models are supposed to sell PLUS SIZE clothing. Who buys plus size clothing? Plus size women, yes us sexy fatties that love ourselves. #byebye

They are fabulous, fashion-forward and not afraid to show off their fuller figures. They are the ladies of TLC’s newest three-part series, BIG SEXY, which premieres on Tuesday, August 30 at 10:00 PM (ET/PT).

The image-conscious industries of fashion and modeling are difficult to penetrate. With trends and looks that dominate the urban scenes, Americans have grown accustomed to perceptions of what is hip and forthcoming. BIG SEXY New Yorkers Leslie, Tiffany, Audrey, Nikki and Heather hope to expand and revise this commonly-accepted idea of what is beautiful and sexy – giving viewers a candid look into their lives as confident plus-size women who are shooting for the stars with their careers.

Here at H&C we’ve learned that Halloween comes more quickly than you might think!  We’ve learned our lesson and have begun preparing for Halloween early this year.

Besides, you don’t have to wait until Halloween to dress up!  Costumes are fun all year round. 

With that said, here are some of our newest and hottest costume accessories.   And stay tuned, there is definitely much more to come!

Plus size model Fluvia Lacerda shines as the new face for Benize! Seeing a plus size model on the site is a big welcome to us.

We sure hope the trend continues, as our extensive communication with plus size customers seems to dictate that plus size women feel marketed to when they see a model that is visibly plus size.

We hope to see more soon… www.benize.es

First rule of thumb is to choose one: eyes, lips, cheeks.  In order not to overdo it or look like a clown, pick one feature to accentuate, while keeping the others neutral.

Pucker up with something vibrant.  Lips are one the easiest ways to wear a bright color.  Choose a hot pink, vivid red, summery orange or coral that works for your skin tone.  Stay away from, yellows/golds, blues, greens, purples.  Save those for the eyes!

Plus size models, and beautiful plus size women, consume my life as editor of PMM. I love watching aspiring models develop into their own, and this is just what my journey has been like with Stacey Hiett. Stacey is no stranger to PMM readers, we have been working and following her career for a little over a year now.

This statuesque, blond bombshell turns heads everywhere she goes and today she is turning ours with her newest portfolio images at Images NYC. Stacey is curvy, poised and she’s a size 18! Yes, she is exactly what the plus size women have been asking for, size diversity.
