vanillalattes: hi (: how did you get interested in modeling? -B
Hey! Funny story, I was shopping with my ex-friend lol, and we went into swarovski and I couldn’t afford anything but I enjoy sparkly things. :) The girl who was working there was a photographer at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh (where I live). And I was totally pimped out in vintage attire. She noted my style and asked if I would like to model for her, it took about a year for us to actually work together. But I enjoyed it so much and it became my passion. The rest is history! :D Thanks for asking! <3
hughbot: is it common for the photographers to give you copies of their work after a shoot?Not just for you but for models in general.
Hey Hughbot! Good Question! There is this thing in the modeling world called TFP (Trade For Print) or TFCD (Trade For CD)… Which basically means that models will pose for free for photographers if they give them pictures for it. It is good practice for the model and the photographer. All of my photo shoots have been on a TFCD basis, sometimes I do not even get a CD. But I have never received actual prints. Lastly, the image belongs to them, so If I do decide to Print it out I must ask them for permission. :) I hope that Answers your question!
alliethepallie: Did you always want to be a model? What were your hobbies growing up?
Heyyy lady! :D The truth? No, I didn’t always want to be a model. I wanted to be a movie star, I should say “want”. I still do have that dream (modeling is my favorite now that I have discovered it though). I grew up always thinking I would just automatically become famous…lol No Idea why. Well It hasn’t happened, yet… but I am still young! :DÂ Hobbies:Cutting up and sewing clothes to make them “better” haha… Playing with barbies until I was like in Middle School lol, photography, and singing. Honestly Allie, I have too many to count, I like to do so many different things. I am one of those people who pretty much enjoy everything about life. :)
lemonadediary: if I showed you this dress that I have and adore, would you be able to tell me how to snazz it up and make it work-wearable? I need hellllp.

nowuntill: What sort of poses/clothes etc should I wear when entering a plus size modeling comp? :) thanks, Samantha.
Hey Nowuntill, If your talking about an agency, wear something form fitting. They need to see your shape so they know what your look like. Also, LIMIT makeup… They like seeing you natural. As for poses, I am guessing you mean for pictures. Google search Pictures of plus size models, they know what they are doing. It is tricky for curvy girls to get away with certain poses,but not impossible. I usually keep my legs together with one foot forward for a more visual curve in my body. But some people do not like that. PRACTICE IN THE MIRROR, is the best advice I can give you! :D Thanks!
Thanks Everyone for the Questions!! :) This was fun!
