I think that maybe what Alexandria was trying to say...Aside from the real thing, was that we all have to face the facts, that the majority of photographers out there, want to work with skinnier, and more fit models. Which is fine. But she was saying that seeing this beautiful woman who has curves and isnt skinny competing on National Television against dozens of Fit and skinnier women gave her and other, either plus size or just curvaceous women Hope and told them that they can do it.
Skinnier models have a wider range of work that they can do, then larger women do, and I have worked with tons of photographers, some who are okay with girls with a little extra fat, but most who flat out object to it.
So I think that maybe she just put it the wrong way..if not..then this is just my take on it.

I have a feeling that is what she meant too..she just worded things in a way that it was interpreted different (granted i could be wrong too, but this is what i gathered from it all)..now i see the true genius behind the name of this site Model MAYHEM. you got that right..lmao
