Ruben Studdard opens modeling agency for plus-size women
Based in his home state of Alabama, the former “American Idol” winner’s agency is said to specialize in what Ruben calls “real girls,” rather than the stick-thin creatures who appear in most ads and music videos.
Explaining the philosophy behind his new agency, the Velvet Teddy Bear replied, “I like big butts and I cannot lie/You other brothers can’t deny/That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist/and a round thing in your face/you get sprung…My anaconda don’t want none/Unless you’ve got buns, hon…”
Ruben then added that fat bottom girls make the rockin’ world go round.

Hi,
I am a plus size model from Lancaster, SC. I have four(4) modeling magazines of myself and I would love to send you a copy of one. I am a size 20. I am more than just a pretty face. I write songs, produce music and I write movie scripts. I would love to have you sing one of my songs. I have a song ientitled, She’s not fat, She’s just fluffy”.
Yours truly,
Debra Benson
I absolutely want to hear, “She’s Not Fat, She’s Just Fluffy.” Please tell me there’s an MP3 of the track available online somewhere…
I always wanted to be a beautiful black plus size model i would like to start at an black owned agency please let me know were to go or who to refer me to.
I began modeling when I was 12 years old. At age 19 I quit because I began to get curves and wasn’t getting as much work. I want to get into plus size modeling because I believe that as a size 14/16 I could represent the average size American woman. I live in Birmingham, AL. I hope to hear back from you soon!
hiya my name is kate im 19 and i realy want to get into the modeling industry but i always think i am way to big to be one im a size 20-22 and i cant seem to find any one who takes girls of my size and a lot of people always say i have the face of a model but my body lets me down and i think if i have the chance to have my confidence lifted and prove everyone wrong then that would make my dream come true i hope you could give me some advice.

I am a plus size woman and ever since the scandel with the anti anorexia posters I am proud to flaunt my curves. This trend for the last decade to look like a skeleton because supermodels were doing it …is unhealthy. A real woman is supposed to have curves…period!
hi, my names ashlee, i’m from johnstown PA.
i’ve been wanting to model for a long time, but everyone seems to think that i’m not “model type”
i’m not your average model, i am 5′7, size 16, dark hair, bright blue eyes. you could say that my style is very unique, and i often get called a freak.
i just want to show people that even though i’m not like everyone else, i can do this.
it would mean so much to me if you replied.
