Hi! I'm La Viola. That's lah-vahy-oh-luh.
I'm smack in the center of California in a town you've probably never heard of.
I travel to the bay area and LA regularly, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you're in either area.
I am a ________ model. I'll let you fill in the blank.
If you'd like to shoot me, please compensate me with something. Money is nice. I'll also accept gas, cookies, fried chicken and/or watermelon, any Obama memorabilia, and additions to my wardrobe.
No more boring shots please, lets make images that POP!
Just in case you're curious, the real me (flaws and all) is on Mayhem #1251554.
And yes, I am a plus sized woman. I am NOT an industry standard plus model. And yeah... according to some definitions, I'm fat. I'm fully aware of that, so no need to redundantly remind me. There is nothing wrong with this fact, and I am neither ashamed nor unrealistic about it. Either way, I'm still attractive and have something exceptional to offer the world. If you feel that I have something to offer you, or vice-versa, then please don't hesitate to say so... but please let's keep it professional. Critiques are fine, but rudeness is unacceptable.
