Never did I think almost two years ago when I started a project to show my appreciation for plus size women around the world would there still be ladies submitting their photos and asking questions about how to get into the world of modeling. Since the original project started in April of 2008 quick stats are:
- 134 submitted photos
- 64 ladies featured so far (70 and counting waiting to be featured)
- Ladies from 5 countries have submitted photos
- 74% of submissions come from ladies with limited modeling experience
- 10 ethnic backgrounds
What keeps me excited about the PSBOTW is that ladies are viewing it as a gateway into the modeling industry which I view as a sign that plus modeling is not only here to stay but is growing at a steady pace despite what critics have to say. Additionally, this segment has been sponsored as a way of thanking the ladies for their submissions currently I am looking for a full time sponsor of this segment. If you are interested contact be via the blog contact form.
With that being said I am excited about this weeks beauty because of the ties to Full Figured Fashion Week™. This weeks beauty is none other than the face of Full Figured Fashion Week™ Rosie Mercado! As you can see from the photo below Rosie is stunningly beautiful showing that when it comes to beauty it does not matter what your size is. She will be featured on the homepage of FFP for the next seven days as most of you are already aware of. Remember ladies that to be featured the only requirement is that you be a size 16 or above.
Everything will stay the same as far as photos being submitted to beautyoftheweek@fullfigureplus.com. Their is no need to wonder if you will be featured the only requirement is you be plus size and the photos be clear enough to be shown. For you legal eagles out their read below for the specific details of what it takes to submit your photos.
