karleeta asked: Hi Lexi, You've inspired me, you seem so confident and beautiful. I have the same body type as you except I have a flat chest, but I have almost the same measurements as you. I've always wanted to be model, since I was a kid, I've always loved the modeling and acting, but I've always been very insecure and always felt ugly, 'til about a year that I have started to accept myself the way I am, I'm loving my body. How did u become a model? I'd like to be one.

Answer:

Thank you so much! I have always been a ham in front of the camera or group of people so like you I new I always wanted to model. My mom used to model so she was always having updated pictures done of us kids and about 4 years ago We had a shoot and that photographer refered me to my now Mother agency Ford RBA. From there I was picked up by Wilhemina La and then Heffner. But I did market myself a lot as well.. I sent my pictures to Plus Model Magazine, and other plus size mags and companys and everything fell into place. I would say to get a small test done, and send your pictures into ur local agencies and start from there!! Please keep me updated! and let me know if you have anymore questions!
