Lovely pics!
Always wondered though: how do plus-sized women keep a relatively flat stomach? (It's hard enough for the rest of us!) Is this just photshop or genes??... Curious

well, they are models, like biana said, so they are tall with long legs and good skin and everything, so genes is definitely part of it. but besides that, they have to take good care of themselves, since their body is their source of income, just as with straightsize models.

not all of them have a "flat" stomach, but most of them will have a "tight" one, so it's all firm instead of flabby rolls. My stomach could use a lot more toning, working on that right now, because as you point out, it's a nice feauture to have as a plus size model smile

This thread is so inspiring!!! I just wish I could find photographers that have the mindset that plus size is beautiful....It seems like in my area if you aren't a size 2 or willing to do erotic photos there isn't anything for you.

Trust me, I feel your pain. It is haaaaard work for us curvy girls to find work in the field...one of the reason I originally started doing nude work was just because that was the ONLY work I could find (thankfully it was a good experience, and I've never regretted it). It has always inspired me that women like Fluvia, Crystal, Mia, and others can make it in fahion.

Oh and thanks to whoever posted London Andrews...she has always been one of my favorites!

As soon as I saw this thread, I thought to myself "One name: London Andrews."

I'm really glad she was mentioned already, though I'm not surprised in the least. She seriously blows me away...

QFT.

My stomach is my bugbear. Upper abs and obliques are in good shape i just have a teeny bit too much round my lower abs - but it's been getting smaller over the past few years so it was possibly just puppyfat or the fact i've grown into my body a lot more. It's not too much of a problem with the right poses

Best thread yet big_smile Defiantly makes you feel a ton better. especially if you have had photographers slam you for your weight. Puts you in the dumps for awhile. And nothings worse then the second guessing yourself. These are beautiful women!

Tara Lynn for plié shapewear. I think she looks really hot, considering what she's wearing big_smile. I was so happy when I saw that second picture, because that's exactly how my butt looks like and I never really liked it haha big_smile

Brigitte was the first person that popped into my head when I saw those shots. I can't put my finger on it though... There is just something uncanny about the similarity between the two. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it! Lol! smile
