In a world where size zero is the expected norm... it is nice to see a "plus size model" become successful. Nancy Hayssen, is one of those models, and she is beautiful and is trying to help change the modeling industry, especially after the publication of a very "anorexic" looking model in Europe.
According to statistics, 6 out of every 10 North American women are considered "plus size". Plus size is considered size 14 and up. This means that more than 1/2 of the female population will be buying the latest fashions and styles in a size 14 and up.
Then why do they insist on displaying size zero models?. Why not show your fashion designs on a "average size" woman and help the self esteem of many young girls.
Young teenage girls want to fit in, and will aspire to become like these models. The problem is, that if your frame is larger, you are never going to be a size zero no matter what diet you try. But there are many young girls damaging their health trying to maintain this image.
In the last few years, stores have sprung up that cater to the plus size girl and women, but they are separate from the main stream stores, which further alienates a young girl. I personally am considered a "plus size", at size 14-16, and after seeing a style in the window of a popular store, I went in, only to be told "my size is in the back"... like I had a disease or something. The front of the store only had size zero to 8.
Lately though, I have noticed a few more stores catering to all the sizes, and as long as we have beautiful "plus size models", like Nancy Hayssen, then we should start seeing more styles and fashions for the 6 out of 10 women in North America that fit into the "plus size" label. Who came up with that term anyway?
Nancy Hayssen, is also a great author, and has written a book "You can be sexy at any size".. she also is in a small film clip where she talks about her modeling career as a plus size model, and she is comfortable enough with her body to pose naked for the camera, (tastefully of course). This is a real plus for us larger girls. The short film gets the point across quite well...
I want to voice my love for your kind-heartedness in support of individuals that need assistance with this topic. Your personal dedication to getting the solution across has been amazingly significant and has encouraged ladies like me to reach their ambitions. Your important useful information denotes a great deal a person like me and extremely more to my fellow workers. Regards; from everyone of us.

I and my guys ended up reading through the nice things found on your website and so immediately came up with an awful suspicion I had not thanked the site owner for those techniques. These young boys are already for that reason happy to study them and have in effect quite simply been making the most of them. Appreciate your turning out to be well helpful and also for choosing variety of smart resources most people are really wanting to discover. My very own sincere regret for not saying thanks to earlier.
