CURVES AHEAD: V Magazine's tribute to CURVY models!
Wow.
Okay, I'll go ahead and say it. I am totally jealous!!
One of the bummers about living in Miami, rather than New York, is that you really miss out on castings. Yesterday, there was a major lingerie casting the NYC, and I couldn't go to it because I'm working down here! Soooo.. I send my booker polaroids of me in matching lingerie. But, trust me- they would much rather book someone they see in person. I didn't even have a fighting chance for a great editorial story like this, when I'm thousands of miles away!
V Magazine is one of my favorite American fashion magazines. Last month, they had a story with Crystal Renn and a straight size girl, wearing the same clothes. It was nice, but a bit of a yawn, just because she's really all over the place. And I personally don't believe that ONE woman can represent everyone above a size 2. Sorry!
Anyhow, this shoot is fantastic. First, it's Terry Richardson. As he is known for his love of androgynous, young girls, I think it was a big stretch for HIM to shoot bigger girls. Trust me, you have to know how to make those curves look good on camera, and I really love what he did. Second, I admire the fact that they used some models that were not very well known! Take a chance- jeez, who wants to see the same person all the time?
The styling was nice- and the hair and makeup was beautiful!! I picked my favorite shots and you'll see them below.
So, congratulations girls, and V- I'll see you soon!!
