Let It All Hang Out

So part of my new life as a recessionista (read: woman who works very hard to stay recession free), is working many jobs, one of which is modeling. This is something I picked up about a year ago and I can't deny the fact that I love it. I've done a few photo shoots and fashion shows but the other day I had my very first swimsuit photo shoot. Well, it was a catalog shoot for Fat Cat Clothing Co., a plus size clothing line in St. Louis, but we the models got to pose in an ensemble of our own choosing and I decided to go hard and do a swimsuit. I was really going for the Daisy Dukes look and I'll just say it was quite a site.
I was kinda nervous about it being that I'm also "plus size" and I've had a baby but I must admit, I'M THE SHIT BITCH!!! I was VERY proud of myself because I've been working rather hard and sacrificed so much to keep my body looking how it does and it's great to do something like pose in a swimsuit and make the photographer...let's say "uncomfortable". It makes me want to go even harder (no pun intended) at modeling but more importantly taking care of my body.
Modeling isn't necessarily "easy" but the hard work doesn't scare me at all. I don't know, I guess it's because no matter how fly I think I am there are still gonna be skeptics (read: haters) around trying to convince me that "plus size" and "fly" aren't homonyms. So along with fighting for a new level of respect for myself, I feel like I'm fighting for all plus size women. With the army that is Fat Cat Clothing Co. beside me, I have the feeling that we will not lose...
