I found one!!! Her name is Andrea and she is with MSA Models in NY!

I think the shaved head look is so, so cool and I'd love to see more plus models rocking such a close crop! You are especially gorgeous, miss Aleesha :}

You are very welcome! I was so excited when I found her! Lol!

Yeah, I hear ya on that. I had my head shaved a long, long time ago, but then I realized it just didn't look right on me growing back in with my naturally curly hair. I really kicked myself for cutting it. It looks great on some, but I'm definitely not one of them. I wish I was though! I LOVE the shaved-head look!

That's so exciting!!! Good luck! (I just lost a dress size myself ) I will be keeping my out for your face in the magazines

Crystal Renn=Awesome! But remember Tyra Banks calls plus size models "Fiercly Real" (Or something like that) So thats cool too!

I love plus-size models, but I *hate* the trend of calling them "real" as if anyone not plus-sized is virtual.

It'd be interesting to see how many of the plus sized models have perfect hourglass stats. I would have thought they would me more common! When I recently found out Renn's stats I was a bit shocked at how much the stats vary.

Finding "perfect" hourglasses in plus is not all that easy, weight tends to distribute in one area or the other and not always in both. Many of the hippier girls have smaller busts and many of the bustier girls have smaller hips. Denise Bidot is an example of a wonderful hourglass God given figure. There are more of course, but she comes to mind.

Of course the stats that agencies have on boards and on comp cards can vary greatly. I know a model currently that is listed as 41-35-45 and a size 14 on one board and 44-38-46 and a size 16 on the other. That is certainly a significant difference.

Lots of the smaller busted girls use cutlets or some got boob jobs. Smaller hipped girls are often padded. and many plus models are padded in the midsection as well when shooting for catalog clients as the sizes sometimes start at a 16 and the model may be a size 10. Pinning does not really fly in those circumstances, as the model will look tiny and this annoys the consumer, so hence they pad up.

My mother and I are both near perfect hourglasses, both half an inch off bust/hip measurement matching, and I am a size AU6, and herself a AU12-14. Even through both our size variations & fluxuations, we have both gained evenly. It seems strange how they would fit a model that wouldn't fit their clothes straight off the hanger, or wouldn't just pick a model with the stats they were after.

So then is USA sizing you are a 2 ad your mom is a 6-8. The larger one's body gets the more likely of uneven weight distribution. When I was 18 I weighed 108 lbs. as I got heavier my bust became much more disproportionate.

Hey can we include some models under the standard industry height of 5'8 if they have long legs? Oh and especially for editorial that's waste up only!!

I'm all about breaking down industry standards! #Fistpump for these ladys you posted!!

it all depends on your bodytype. If you're a skinny hourglass, you'll be an hourglass when you gain weight. I'm something between an hourglass and a pear: when I lose weight, I become more hourglassy because I lose more on my hips, when I gain weight my ass grows quicker then everything else. But in general, I tend to gain and lose weight overall. it's about shape, not size.

yes, I agree, as I am more proportionate when I am smaller. Most people are not absolute hourglasses. And the larger you get, fat distributes in different areas dependent on your body type. I was stating that neither of these women, mom or daughter are very large. (being a US size 2 and a 6/8) and that if they gain weight it can skew your proportions. (bust or hips may become disproportionately larger) this is why many plus models pad up on the top or bottom to match.
