"Plus Size" Pin-Up's

[Manda]

I am interested in finding out if there are any "plus size" (oh god how I hate that term - sorry!) pin-up models here and how they got started in pin-up modelling.

Plumper the berry...one of the best quotes ever...and so very very true.

 

Personally, I consider any size that they sell in "specialty plus size" stores to be "plus size".  Which would be a size 14 and up.

 

I like the term "Curvy" or "Bodacious", and "Bootylicious" just takes it a bit too far IMO. XD

 

We're just getting our site and everything going, myself and 3 other buxom ladies.  Very excited about it as well.

Amen brother!

As for "labeling" us bigger girls, I prefer the term "plumpie pinup." The plumper the berry, the sweeter the juice! ha! Another good word is bodacious! BODacious magazine is actually petitioning to have an extra meaning added to the word "bodacious" in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. To mean an attractive bigger man or woman. If you feel so inclined, you can sign the petition at www.whatsyournumber.org
I suggested to the editor that they do a pinup issue - just imagine, a whole magazine full of plumpie pinups!

I love plus sized girls myself. Like 'em better than thinner girls.

I hate the term "plus size" too! Although that is what I am considered. I wouldn't say that I am a model, but I just started doing shoots as often as I can to build my portfolio. Hopefully I will "make it" one day, but if anything, the pictures make me feel good about my curvy figure and the compliments definitely help your confidence. So start shooting and network via the internet as much as you can.

 

And I love everyone's terms to replace "plus size". Why don't we start calling the non-plus size sections "the scrony section, no butt section, or the itty bitty titty section"...see how they like it. hahaha

What a great question! We should find a better word for us curvy ladies! I for one would like to walk into a department store and saunter over to the.... Big ol' Titties and Luscious Butt section. I'm no model, but right now I think is a great time to start. People 's eyes are opening up to the idea of curvier women, and it appears even the popular fashion magazines are featuring curvier women. People like what's different and new, and this has been a trend before and it's becoming a trend again. Take advantage!

I personally take pride in the term 'plus size pin up'

 

 

I feel that certain words (fat, plus size, curvy, zaftig etc) are only negative when you allow them to be..I don't need anyone to sugar coat them because it's nothing to be ashamed of...

 

I love my fat, plump, zaftig, plus size self...:)

Thank you! I actually like "fatty". I call myself a fatty all the time and [people get really uncomfortable and try to offer all sorts of other words that would be less offensive, but like.... really? I wouldn't use it if it offended me. Fatty feels like the word chubby but fatter (which is me haha).

I love the term bodacious. I've bounced between a 10 and a 14 my whole life. Plus size girls in pin up are my favorites! There's nothing better than seeing a woman who's confortable in her skin. That's sexy no matter the size.

Plus size pin up is great and I'm all for curvy women, but obese women are another thing..that's a health risk rather than something to promote. The size thing depends on the persons height so I think they should judge plus size by rating a person's BMI.

Curves are awesome, but flatter chested thinner girls can look good too- the flapper look is perfect for them!

Hey Manda! I'm a plus size pinup (Don't worry about the term..it's just a term it shouldn't define you) I got started by finding companies that carried plus size clothing but didn't feature plus size models. Also Model Mayhem is a great place to go and network! Build up your portfolio with different kinds of photos and make sure you do a lot of practicing to show off your most flattering angles. Then you can start approaching bigger companies and well known photographers! Good luck!! xoxo
