New York – Oct 10, 2012 / In the October issue of PLUS Model Magazine (PMM), already receiving over 1,000,000 unique page views, Editor-in-Chief, Madeline Jones, tackles head-on the often-controversial subject of ‘body shaming.’ With a creative team including photographer Victoria Janashvili, best known for her viral PMM editorial, “PLUS SIZE BODIES, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM ANYWAY?”, along with celebrity makeup artist Tara Taylor and wardrobe stylist Reah Norman, PMM brings this important subject to light in a stunning, all-nude editorial featuring plus models.

“Body shaming is present in our lives,” shares Ms. Jones. “This feature came about as a result of the conversations that we see on our social media sites. We see bigger women being put down for being too big but we also see men and women body shaming smaller models for being too small. While we do believe plus size models should be used to market to plus size women, it’s not right to put anyone down because of what they look like. Many times we are so deep in focus that we forget that we could be hurting someone else.”
Not one to turn away from heated conversation and debate, Jones conducted a city-wide casting to find five plus models, all exceedingly confident in their curves, to represent the bodies of women bullied or shamed for their size. The models chosen were Emma Meyer with Ford Models, Laura Johnson with IPM Models, Liris Crosse and Wyinetka with Dorothy Combs Agency and PMM cover model and star of the new reality show Curvy Girls, Ivory Kalber also with Dorothy Combs.
As part of the casting process for the Body-Shaming’ editorial, Ms. Jones along with Tulin Reid, PMM Executive Marketing & Creative Director brought their concept for the October 2012 Love Your Body issue to the producers of nuvoTV’s‘Curvy Girls’ where they appeared on-air with Reah Norman, PMM Executive Fashion Director.

I think it is great that the magazine did a feature on this and the picture of the models look fantastic. This is very similar to a project that I did with my friends at a independent vintage styling firm called the “Real Bodies Manifesto”, please check it out @http://www.retrofitrepublic.com/the-real-bodies-manifesto and some behind the scenes on my blog, http://biggirlsrun2.com/2012/09/12/the-real-bodies-manifesto-behind-the-scenes/

No way. I mean no disrespect to women in general because I believe in one woman for one man. To make a point as to how beautiful I think these women are, body and face mind you. I wish I could have a plus size model for every day of the week. Stay beautiful, keep your heads held high do what you do, be yourself. God bless you all.

When I see women as beautiful as these ladies are, it tells me that they are “real” women. I’m the type of man who loves real women! I salute them and your magazine!
