Photoshoots galore

May 2015

Lots of modeling gigs have come in for June, I'll be shooty shoot shooting a lot this summer! First is a week in NYC: I've been selected to test shoot with Michelle Alexandra Photography, one of the very top photographers in North America. We'll also be shooting me in looks by designer Serita Bell, which will go into her lookbook. Then I model for Serita Bell on the Curves at Sea All White Cruise during Full Figured Fashion Week NYC 2015 - I'll be rocking one of her garments for the press on the VIP cruise through NY harbor! Next, MODAL Productions and myself as a model are being featured on the cover of Queen Size Magazine!

In Buffalo early June, I'm shooting again for Rack Plus Magazine in their All-Stars issue! Superstar designer Dede Allure is providing all the garments, wait till you see the creative brief... Finally in July, I'm shooting a feature for Gorgeous Freaks Magazine with my pal Julie C Foser.

I’ve done some interviews with e-zines lately about plus modeling, check them out: Fashion Police News; and Plus Model 411.

Most exciting, I've been cast in a lead role in the Buffalo 48 Hour Film Project, working with NDstudios! You can view the final film here. It was nominated for the Best of Buffalo/ Audience Award, which was so cool. Check back often for updates...

New Agencies

February 2012

I've signed with two new agencies this month -- the first is Curvy Model Management, the UK's only size 16+ agency based in London, run by Colin Hampden-White, an internationally renowned photographer whose work has appeared in GQ, ID, Vogue, Traveler, New York Times, LA Times, and the National Portrait Gallery New York. Colin has shot Anna Wintour, JK Rowling, London Fashion Week, and many other celebs. One of my fellow models is Fabia Cerra, star of Britain's Got Talent. The rolling launch will take place this March, supported by the promo shoot with me and other models. The second is Midlands-based Mentor Model Agency -- I'm in their Curves division.

New year, new gigs...

January 2012

I've added some exciting modelling and singing gigs on both sides of the Atlantic to my calendar for early 2012: I'm walking for designer Phase 8 in the Liverpool Fashion Festival and for a bridal boutique at the Bredbury Hall Wedding Show in Cheshire; modelling at the York's Festival of Vintage, and with a group of London plus model for a magazine publication; and I'm singing at a private wedding in York, including a work composed by the bride herself.

I'm signed to the top casting agency in the UK!

December 2011

GREAT NEWS - I am now officially represented by the #1 casting director in the UK, Mark Summers! I first became aware of Mark when he was a judge on BBC 3's Britain's Missing Top Model in which my friends Kelly and Debbie participated. When his agency decided to open their books, 2000 applied and 100 were accepted, so it's nice to be in the top 5% of something. Mark has personally cast some of the biggest media events in the world such as Michael Jackson's “This Is It” tour and now he's my agent, so this is very exciting.

Curves in Couture a huge success!

November 2011

Models of Diversity's history-making show Curves in Couture of the top healthy, curvy plus models in the world was the talk of the London fashions scene last week! We've had tons of positive press so I don't even know where to start, but as Event Manager I'm most proud of our reviews in Vogue Italia Curvy, More! Magazine, and from the government itself. I'm especially proud that both the British Fashion Council and a Minister of Parliament were such strong supporters of the event. I was also one of the plus models walking in the MoD Diversity Show. Learn more about this history-making event and view images from the gallery here. And you can view some videos of the event featuring me here.

Curves in Couture is coming!

September 2011

I'm really excited to release information about Curves in Couture, a charity catwalk show of healthy, curvy models supported by the British Fashion Council, produced by Models of Diversity. I'm Event Manager and one of the plus models walking in the MoD Diversity Show. Learn more about this history-making event here, and get some of the few tickets remaining for sale to the general public. It's going to be AMAZING...

Lots of news so far this month... I was just booked as one of three plus models in The British Bridal Exposition Harrogate, the largest and most prestigious bridal exhibition in Europe! It's a 3-day trade show for industry insiders and gets massive international press. I'm featured in issues of Just as Beautiful, and Anti-Body magazines coming out this week.

I was appointed Head Event Coordinator for the history-making catwalk show Curves in Couture that Models of Diversity is running in November, featuring top international plus models wearing high fashion. And finally, I'll be singing with Vivaldi's Women at the East Finchley Music Fest in early October.

This is Model Madness Month! In April alone, I am shooting for More! Magazine and Diva Magazine; I walked in the Fashion City York show and was the only model praised and mentioned by name by the compere/ MC; I'm the new Face of a forthcoming plus clothing company (very high profile so I have to keep the details secret until the launch); finally, I portrayed Catherine Deneuve and Sophia Loren in a Hollywood glamour shoot!
