Jamaica has it's own full figured model contest
The Jamaican website, the Gleaner, reports on the first full figured model contest. The picture shows the three winners, Tka Briscoe (centre), winner of the Pulse Caribbean Model Search full-figured competition, with Nicolle Duffus-Lindsay (left, second runner-up) and first runner-up, Alicia Myrie.
They don't really look like plus size girls but then there is no real definition at what size plus size starts.
Elisabeth Patch and The Three Graces
I was wondering through the blog for Elisabeth Patch who is a talented artist. There are some great pictures including the updated picture of The Three Graces, by Peter Paul Rubens. She has dressed them in modern day clothes and they do like women of today.
Obese parents get their 2 week old baby back
Back in March I wrote about a Scottish couple who were parents to 6 kids (Family to be broken up because the children are too fat). Seems I have not been keeping up with events because 2 weeks ago, the mother gave birth to a daughter. Only 24 hours after that special event, social services turned up with a court order to have the child taken in to care.
Violence against plus size people, TV program to explore the issues
I received a press release on Friday from the BBC but I am only now able to write about it. Their 'Inside Out' program tonight (7.30pm GTM) will cover how 'Marsha' (a plus sized woman) was brutally attacked on a train because of her size.
German Brigitte fashion mag to stop using pro models
The top German fashion magazine, Brigitte, has made a major announcement that they will no longer use professional models. They state that, "Today's models weigh around 23% less than normal women". Too much time and effort is put in to the photo's to make the models look like their readers.
This weeks CoverGirl for Friday 2nd October 2009: Ms Eerie
This weeks CoverGirl is Ms Eerie, who is lurking in a shed. I guess she must be English, a nation of shed lovers. This fine photo really shows that a curvey girl can photograph as good as any other model.
Crystal Renn book reviewed and liked
Earlier to day I posted about Crystal Renn and her new book. Shortly after I did that, Glen at Full Figure Plus wrote about the book itself (coincidence I am sure or did I inspire him?).
SizeNet CoverGirl for Friday 11th September 2009
I was having a gander through our Flickr group to select a picture for SizeNet CoverGirl and this one from Jumer just stood out. It's from the album family photo's and I think it is a great picture! Great colours and contrasts.
Real life of a BBW featured in Take 5 magazine
My Facebook friend Laurianne has let me know that she has been featured in the UK based Take 5 magazine. The article relates her battle with weight and her aspirations of being a model. The double page spread also features Anita Bellamy who talks about her modeling career.
