Testing out a new lens!
My boyfriend bought me this lens for my birthday. He let me open it the weekend before my birthday because we were going on a journey to my hometown! :D
Here are some pictures from the roadtrip! I had so much fun playing with this lens! At first it bothered me because I like things to be sharp, and there is no way to get things perfectly sharp with this lens. But I reminded myself that is the...

>Insert sad face here
I start my senior year of college tomorrow. WOW.
It is so bittersweet- I mean I am so ready to be out of school, but there is something exciting about the first day of school. I love meeting new ppl, learning new things.
The funny thing is though, I never really feel prepared. lol
TTYL lovers.
P.S. True Blood was CRAZYYYYY!! ERIC CANNOT DIEEEEEEE
iaspiretofeelinfinite asked: That story about being an extra is really cool! I'm glad you enjoyed it =]. I was wondering how you found out about the fact that they needed extras..... I thought it would be something fun to do, but there are so many fake websites and things on the internet I don't know how to find out about real shoots that need extras near me.

Dear Movie World,
I have gained a whole new respect for you. To be honest, I have always loved you, I have wanted to be an actress since I was little. A good movie is something I turn to if I want my life to go away for 2 hours. But now, since yesterday my life has been amazed by how awesome the process is into making them.

Dear Tumblr,

livingkarana-deactivated2010082 asked: How did you get into modeling three years ago? What were your first steps into the business?
Anonymous asked: I think you're really cool and I love your blog, but does every single post really need to be about Crystal Renn? She's not the only plus-sized model in the world. We know that you adore her, but it'd be good to find things out about other plus-sized models.
Probably wont be able to tweet or tumble again til I leave base camp here on set… Ttyl lovers
Just got done eating LUNCH! Yea- I have the worst headache, at least I got to stare at Taylor Lautner all day.

Crystal Renn Vs. The World
—-I didn’t get to share this yesterday- But this is one of my favorite interviews of Crystal Renn. By- Interview Magazine!!—-
By: Katharine Zarrella
Crystal Renn loves Tarallucci’s spek and brie paninis. She pairs them with a Pacifico beer and treats herself to crème brulee for desert. Perhaps these are not normal habits for a supermodel who’s graced the pages of...

When I filled out my Ford Models application...
This is what I said- Let me know what you ladies think:
I am a free spirit, fun loving, driven, fashion obsessed girl. My first job modeling was for ModCloth.com and I loved it so much! I have been with two agencies in the Pittsburgh, PA area but I want to get out of this city! I would love to be signed with Ford in California, Chicago, Miami, or of course NYC, basically anywhere out of here. I...

WatchCrystal Renn can dance too! DAMN GIRL
P.S. Yes, she looks like a 6 and it still is shocking, but she looks happy :)

Didn't know if you've seen this yet! It's Crystal dancing :D
She does look pretty thin compared to her size 12 days, but still great!

onceuponabetsy asked: So, I'm thinking of trying out ModCloth for the first time, and I know you're a huge fan and were an intern there, so you've got nothing but good things to say about it (which is encouraging!). I was wondering if you could provide some insight into their plus-sized clothing. If you could change anything about their bigger clothes would you? and why? And of course, is it comfortable...
quaeres asked: Hi Mandy! Been following you for a while because you seem to have my body shape (yay!) and I love your fashion style. Anyway, my question for you is... do you wear two-piece bathing suits, and if yes, which seem to work for your shape?
It seems like every 2-piece I get the bottoms don't fit me 'right.' The side-tie bottoms always end up falling off (too loose), as...

Hmmmmmm not sure, but there are several options for plus size clothing! Hit up one of the several online shopping companies! Or go to Lane bryant or target, and if its not fitted around the waist belt it! :D Hope that helped!

Hey gorgeous! Its something that takes practice! LOTS of practice. Pose in front of the mirror, find poses that you like you in. I know it may sound weird but its the best way to practice. Then have a good friend of you take pictures of you for fun. GO ALL OUT. Don’t be afraid, just remember they are your good friend, they don’t care what the pics look like! Don’t be afraid of...

MP City Style Pittsburgh: In Love With A Skort
My skort post for madison plus! :)
Comfort yet again! Let me fill you in on a little secret: this skirt is really a SKORT! haha I know brings me back to the 90’s when I was about 7 years old running around in skorts. But seriously, I found this one at goodwill and haven’t gone back. Denim is one of my loves, and this skort has been my companion all summer long!

Loss is a part of life,
a part that I can not handle. A friend of mine passed away on Monday. No, she wasn’t an extremely good friend, but I would consider her my friend. I probably have only talked to her a handful of times, but the way she writes and let everyone into her life through these 38 pages, I feel like I am her friend.
She fought cancer for a long time, she was insanely strong and determined. It makes...

beautifulvintagegirls asked: Hello Mandy :)
I ordinarily follow your blog under a different name but have recently started this pin-up tumblr to celebrate my love of yesteryears curvy women! I notice that in your modelling portfolio there is a stunning photo of you in pin-up style, would I be allowed to post it to my blog, crediting (and hyperlinking) you and the photographer of course? xx
