Miss Plus Size Fashion 2011

Saturday december 11th was the big casting day. Over a 100 subscriptions we're reduced to 50 beautiful curvy Dutch ladies. And now I'm a part of the final 16. What a honor!


On march 27th we will share our beauty with the rest of the world. Then one of us can call herself Miss Plus Size Fashion 2011. 


I got to meet the current MPS Fashion, the lovely and beautiful Miss Jagaira. 

I didn't get any more pictures taken because I wanted to experience the day completely.


It was such a good vibe at the event. I really felt the positive energy of these women, proud of their bodies. That was awesome. I was so happy to see and hear so many Dutch women accepting their fatness as it was. Feeling and being beautiful. That was one of my reasons to participate. I don't only want to advocate self-acceptance but also practice it. 


I got to do a catwalk training (my first time ever), a very short photo shoot (2 minutes, y'all), an interview with the initiator Marlon Sebel. She's also the owner of THE plus size event in the Netherlands.
