About Me

Alan Jackson is one of the greatest singers and songwriters of all time. I've been a fan for 18 years, and his music touches me to the core of my soul! I love you Alan and Thanks for giving my husband and I songs we can cherish for a lifetime together.Hi everyone my name is April. Welcome to my page. This is a place where women can celebrate their curves. If you know me then (you know I love to talk about everything curvy) if you don't know me, you soon will!! I hope to make a difference in the Curvy Industry, and how society views plus size women. I'm in the June 2007 issue of Glamour Magazine about get-slim diet tactics. I was hoping Glamour would use my statement about how I'm happy with my size now, but obviously they didn't have room to put all of my comments. At least 50 % of women said they'd rather be rich than stay their dream weight forever.I'm a former Plus Size Model and I did do some fashion shows on TV here in Ohio. I went to NYC a few years ago and did a test shoot in Central Park. It was the best time of my life. I also flew in an airplane my first time ever. I quit modeling because I can't move to NYC to pursue it. I'm not upset about it anymore, because God put me here for a reason. I can still make a difference in the Plus Size Community even if I don't model. I recently added some of my test shoot pictures, I know their old but why have them if I can't show them. There's quite a few fashion show pictures, and test shoots over three years. I worked with quite a few photographers, and really loved the experience!Check out my article in Owens Community College Paper..
