Recently I’ve been altering the direction of my book, “Lovin’ the Skin You’re In: The Juicy Woman’s Guide to Making Peace with Food and Friends with Your Body” Because I am a practical woman seeking to provide easy do it yourself solutions for you, I’ve decided to give you even more goodies.
In addition to the bells and whistles of all the great coaching tools I provide in the book, there are tons of great hands on functional get it done now resources that pack my pages.
One of the women that I’ve interviewed is Mia Amber Long, a model, actress and producer who is a fierce activist for size acceptance. She’s the lovely face on all the Ashley Stewart campaign ads. Mia represents the new Butterfly Bra. If you’re an ample bosomed woman who’s tired of bras digging into your shoulders leaving horrible marks and grooves because your bra doesn’t support the weight of your breasts all around then the Butterfly Bra is definitely for you.
In October 2008, Mia represented Plus Model Magazine as the Creative Editor at Large and answered a request to appear on an episode of Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency with a storyline of “helping Janice save the agency through the use of plus size models”
She was skeptical because it is common knowledge how Janice feels about “fat” people. Mia says, “so when I heard that she was adding plus models to her board I took it as a blessing and a curse. I saw it as a blessing because the viewing audience who may never have heard of a plus model would finally get to see us and learn that we had our rightful place in fashion. The curse would be if Janice chose to attempt to berate and belittle the plus girls because she didn’t understand their bodies. I chose to step into the line of fire because I felt that I was well informed about the industry and I know that I can handle myself. I also wanted to stand up for the women who don’t know that they are beautiful because of the type of words that come out of the mouths of the ‘Janice Dickinsons’ of the world”.
Mia’s very outspoken about plus size issues, equality and the power of the plus size woman in general. If you have any follow up question for Mia you’d like to know about clothing, trends, style, locking horns with Janice, being a plus model, fit, beauty tips, fashion tricks email me at [email protected]. I look forward to receiving your email.
