Valery Amador, Executive Director — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:38:00 +0000

Alana Chandler first came into our radar when she joined the PLUS Model Magazine Directory. As an aspiring model we noticed she had a lot of potential and kept our eyes on her. Imagine our pleasant surprise when Alana was one of the models Janice Dickinson had chosen to live in the Model House and was present at the casting for the current season of the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency Show on the Oxygen Network.

Life Throwing You Curves?

Valery Amador, Executive Director — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:45:17 +0000

We never know what life will bring us and as much as we plan and try to be prepared, life has a way of throwing ‘curve’ balls our way. How we handle these situations is key to our success both in every day life and our professional lives…

Remember:
Fear Immobilizes…
Action Empowers…

This month, on October 14th PLUS Model Magazine will be featured in an episode of “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency” on the Oxygen Network.

Meet Cover Model Ivory May Kalber

Valery Amador, Executive Director — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 05:00:00 +0000

There is no doubt that Ivory is a stunning beauty – but as we all know just being pretty does not guarantee a good model. Her talents as a plus model have brought her a great career, and she has been seen in numerous campaigns and ads over the last seven years. Most recently Ivory was cast as one of very few plus size models on Oxygen Network’s Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency show! Read about Ivory’s experience and don’t forget to watch the show (airing later in the season) where PLUS Model Magazine chose Ivory for the September issue.

Taking a Stand For Curves

Valery Amador, Executive Director — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 05:00:00 +0000

How do you see PLUS Model Magazine? Are we an information portal for aspiring models, a venue for plus models to be featured in more than just “cute” editorials, do you look forward to the health and beauty sections and interesting interviews? Well this month I would like to share with you a little about the passion that has driven me to this point in my life.

In my eyes PLUS is a voice for an industry that is still being put on the back burner in many ways. I have always believed in exercising my freedom of speech which is why in 2005 I wrote to ALLURE Magazine about the poor way I felt they were representing the women in their weight loss segment. I wrote to them and sent them pictures of myself and two other models (Mia Amber and Lissa Essling) as we recreated their “after” pictures at our voluptuous size of 18. I was contacted by ALLURE, the letter was printed and from that moment on I have remained a voice to be heard for this industry.

I say all this because once again – I have taken a big chance at representing the plus size industry and on a much larger scale. Everyone knows Janice Dickinson, the worlds first Super Model, has never been a fan of “plus size models” being in fashion, on the runways or even acknowledged, but when we got a call from the Oxygen Network for the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency I immediately wanted to know more… did I think that we could change her mind about how she feels? Not really, but I did see this as a way to further our vision and platform; Plus Size Models are Fierce and deserve to be included in “all” editorials and fashion runways.
