Modeling for Ace Blakley

I am seriously thankful for all the opportunities I have had to model.  There are many times that I have been told "No" but that didn't stop me even on days when I wanted to.  Modeling is not as easy as some people may think it is, there are many ups and downs to it but if you love it that won't matter.  Many times it will have you spending your vacation money to build your book and even questioning your own ability to "deliver the goods" (so to speak) in front of the camera  but I love modeling!   When I am in front of the camera I feel alive and one thing I love to do most is MOVE!

I was going through what felt like a dry spell in modeling.  I had been freelancing for a while and it felt like all of the modeling jobs were in NY, which without an agent and being a Philly girl made things harder.  While working with my photographer (Swan) one evening setting up for my Curvy Confidence Shoot with DVD, he introduced me to a young designer in his studio named Cha Cha.  When I met Cha Cha I was super excited to work with her, her designs were sexy and fresh and great for the plus sized woman who wanted to really show off her body in a flattering way.  Honestly up until this point I had never worn a real bodycon dress as a plus sized woman and not because I didn't want to but because I hadn't found any that fit me properly and complimented my shape.  It wasn't long before I received an email from Cha Cha and next thing you know I was at a shoot modeling her designs!  God is good!  Here are some of my favorite shots from the shoot.

I really enjoyed working with Cha Cha at this shoot, she did it all from my hair to styling our outfits with some of her custom jewelry.  The reporter in me wanted to know more about her and her journey to create Ace Blakley and share it with others.  It was then that I just went ahead and conducted an interview for Daily Venus Diva Magazine!  What can I say, I find inspiration almost everywhere and I am always working I guess. ;)
