So how do you suggest I proceed? Just your opinion.

it would probably be more healthy for you to try and get closer to straight size than plump up to plus size... depending on what coast you are workin, you would need to get to at least a dress size 12 to even start to look for work... going straight size, you could find some work at a dress size 5...

i'm a size 7 and was told that I fit the criteria of a plus-sized model on more than one occasion. They said that in ANY agency I would be considered Plus-sized. So I guess I am checking in wink

I just got the update in my email... so check your email M.A.

"Thursday's coffee is going to be moved to next week.  Either on thursday or friday.  It now consists of me and Sita Mae and Bette.

Friday's Margarita's are on.
Casa Vega in studio city and Marix Tex Mex - the one near PCH not in Hollywood have been recommended for location.  If anyone feels strongly about either let me know.

see thats what I was saying. I always thought I was an average size girl not too skinny. But if they are saying that size 7 is plus-size, then I might as well embrace it. Plus...curves are sexier than bones wink

Hello everyone. I hope that you all are having a really nice Thursday. I think I'm gonna go in search of a cool place to hide for a while. It's too hot in here.
