Je ne vous apprends peut-être rien mais il y a un petit moment le site Ma Grande Taille a lancé un concours de mannequinat. A clé un voyage à Las Vegas afin de participer au défilé ayant lieu pendant The Curvy Revolution. The Curvy Revolution est en fait une convention plus size où vous pourrez assister à des défiles de mode, séminaires, échanges de vêtements,… Bref un bel évènement pour célébrer toutes les femmes qui ne font pas une taille 0.
Au passage la Full Figured Fashion Week qui est le même genre de convention mais plus axé sur la mode aura lieu en juin 2011 à New York. C’est le moment d’épargner! ;) C’est un évènement auquel j’aimerais vraiment participer alors on va commencer à réfléchir comment organiser tout cela. Si vous voulez me sponsoriser je vous accueille à bras ouverts! Je suis subtile, non?

Pour l’instant ils en sont seulement aux pré-selections de candidates. Voici donc toutes les informations si vous êtes intéressées (je ne traduis pas en français bien sûr!).
