Hi I'm Mandy!

I am an aspiring plus-size model trying to make it big in the Fashion world. I love Crystal Renn, photography, fashion, being myself, and making new friends. Let's be friends. :)

My awesome view from my window

My awesome view from my window

3rd times the charm at posting this damn thing!!!

So, I have tried writing this post 3 times… I am sorry this one is going to be cut short now.

I lost my power, was snowed in, and cuddled this weekend. I was all alone Friday night, with nothing but my phone (for twitter!) and a glass of merlot. Completely snowed in. These pictures are the following morning. If you got snow, you probably had a similar experience!

Today I had no class today! Apparently also we are getting 10 more inches tomorrow night! BRING IT! ;)

Did you beautiful people get a lot of snow??

“You are so beautiful, it must be disheartening to not hear from the agencies.”

Yes, It can be really difficult. Especially on days when I remember that to be successful in this industry I need a good agency. It is mostly frustrating because I am so passionate about it, and I usually feel helpless.

I am glad I am a student and work at ModCloth.com, they are good distractions. Otherwise I might go crazy from just sitting around waiting for something to happen.

At the same time I wonder if I wasn’t in school or working, would I do better putting 100% into modeling. But my recent trip to NYC humbled me a little more than I expected, more discouraged than humbled I suppose.

But to be honest, if I gave up now I wouldn’t be happy. I have never before been so passionate about something. I usually go through phases with different hobbies and such, but I have been modeling for 2 years, and I haven’t gotten sick of it yet!

What’s in store now? Who knows, but my article on ModCloth seems to be getting a lot of responses! Also, I am taking a dive into freelance modeling to see where that gets me. Maybe someday I will write a book about this whole struggle… Who knows what is in store for me, and for all of you! Our futures are so bright!

I totally went off on a rant sorry about that Cheech! ;) But the answer is yes, it is. But it is worth it, and hopefully will be in the end.

<3 Happy Friday Everyone!

P.S. WELCOME New Followers!!! :D So, nice to have you here!

P.S.S. Thanks for the comment Cheechitbaby!

Self-love isn’t about brushing the bits you hate under the rug. There is no rug. You’re either all in, or you’re simply not done learning to love yourself yet. Loving what we hate is incredibly challenging, and sometimes actual love is impossible. But acceptance will do. Even if none of my ideas ring true for you, give some thought to actions and thought patterns that might move you closer to accepting your whole self with affection. The work might be hard, but the payoff will be so very, very worth it. Just think of all the extra energy you’d have if you stopped burning it off loathing your big nose, bad hair, weak chin! You could take over the damned world, kitten.

Jessica Biffi a Project Runway Canada alum will be guest designing with the Canadian Plus lines Addition Elle and MXM for this spring season. She is a master at draping and her use of pop colours really made her Spring 2010 line jump from the runway. I am really looking forward to see the collections she puts together for Addition Elle and MXM.

That&#8217;s the boyfriend reading his kindle behind me, he had no idea I took this picture so shhhhh don&#8217;t tell!! :D Today was a pretty good day&#8230; I MIGHT have found myself a little modeling gig!! I will let you know when it actually happens, its in CALI!! So, currently I decided that I am going to have to do a lot of my modeling stuff without an agency&#8230;. Who needs them anyways right?!? Haha But, yea I locked my keys in my car tonight, and my boyfriend came to save me!! So he is sleeping over! Yay, I cannot wait to cuddle. I am going to now!!! Welcome new followers! It is so great to see some new names. :) I got a question here: starryfeet answered your question: curvycouture: Hello people from FYCG!!!! It is&#8230; Question: you work for modcloth.com, how do the clothes fit you? I’ve been wanting to shop but am afraid due to sizing questions. returns bad My Answer: Measure yourself! Read how they measure things and you will be golden, that is how I figure out if things are going to fit me. DO NOT TRUST S, M, or L (every vendor ModCloth has available is different)!! So just read the measurements + lengths, and good luck! Let me know if you have any more questions!! Mandy(at)thecurvymodel(dot)com!!
