With all of the fuss about the plus modeling industry lately, I think that there is some sort of general idea that girls are just laying around the pool crunching on cheetos and drinking pina coladas, while the poor runway and straight size models have to live off of diet coke and lettuce.  Well I have certainly been known to enjoy a day poolside, with hotel snacks within my reach, I certainly focus on maintaining, as well!

The Plus modeling industry is just that: an industry.  So, you have to stay on top of your game- you need to dedicate yourself to staying a healthy size, look fit and toned, and not puffy or jaundiced or hungover or whatever.  ACTUALLY, this is probably a pretty good LIFE policy.
As plus models, we have the luxury of working out to stay fit and healthy.  Unfortunately, some of the straight size ("normal" models) girls think that they have to starve themselves. 

But you know what?  Miami is the land of the beautiful people, especiailly the beautiful bodies.  But these girls and guys are working HARD at their bodies!  When I was in some sort of tortuous abdominal class yesterday, I was right next to a totally fit, completely gorgeous woman who was plugging through that class, just as I was.  I have to say, that comforted me!  I think that's the point of group classes, though... suffering in numbers somehow doesn't seem so bad...

Plus, I like to dress up for the gym!  Yesterday, I rocked my LuLu Lemon legwarmers!
