V Magazine plus size issue coming soon

V Magazine has a plus size special issue coming out January 14. I'm excited to see a mainstream magazine showcase something besides stick figures. Too bad it's only 1 issue but hey it's a step in the right direction. From the looks of the photo shoot it's gonna be too hot to handle!

Here's a vid link from the V Magazine plus size photo shoot for a preview of stuff to come in the January issue. Work it girls! Ps. If you are offended by raciness you don't hafta click :)

Also there is an article related to this at the Huffington Post. Show your support for plus size fashion by digging tweeting etc! Viva le curves!!!

On a side note, I read an article from Toronto about the modelling industry and the demand for plus size models being overwhelming. Which I have to say, I am thankful that finally they are starting to pay attention to someone in something over a size 10. Although sometimes I look at these plus size models and think, hmm, that's not what plus sized means to me but hey it's a step in the right direction at least. Here's the article if you would like to read, as well as the site that hosted the plus size model search. *site has music just to warn you to have your speakers down first :). They also have a facebook page etc and some fashion and modelling tips for those interested. ~Jax
