Curvy WifeSwap

We have all seen the show. We have all been glued to an episode of WifeSwap wondering if people really do live their lives that way (eating dirt, talking to plants, cleaning obssessed...). Here is your chance to be part of an all-eyes-glued-on-you episode of WifeSwap.



Here’s the info:



We are currently casting for our fifth season and we are looking for people who are aspiring plus size models and want to teach another family that you can be beautiful whatever size you are. We cast everywhere from Maine to California, and this would bring a fun and unique dynamic to the show.

Requirements:

• Must be in a two-parent home;
• Must live within the United States
• Must have at least one child between 7-17!

The premise of Wife Swap is simple:

For seven days, two wives from two different families with very different values exchange husbands, children and lives (but not bedrooms) to discover what it’s like to live a different family’s life. It’s an interesting social experiment and a great way to see your family in a whole new light. It is shot as a documentary series, so NO scripts and no set. It’s just one camera that is documenting your life. Families that appear on the show will receive a financial honorarium for lost wages, time and commitment.

Sounds pretty good to us! So, thicksational models who are mothers that have a two parent home, if you are interested please email Krys Nicole your contact information and tell her a little about your family.

krysnicole@thicksational.com

Good luck ladies! (I just might do this myself...do they count mag publishers as candidates you think?)

IT'S SWIMSUIT SEASON BABY!!!

What is better than the runway, fashion industry elite, swimsuits and Miami? Nothing! Well...perhaps if it was solely dedicated to the curvy woman that would be wwwaayyy better than anything (ever!), but it's not so it's the next best thing :) If you are in the area, or in the industry, check out the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim, Miami style. Below you can check out the heavy runway hitters. We will be taking a peek at the 2010 trends for swimwear, and (as always) putting a curvy twist to it!

True Curves

As women, we seem to have the natural ability to admire lovingly the dips and curves of one each others body. We can find the curves of women in every boutique window, every magazine cover, and every television screen. Clothes are made to show off the subtle rise and fall of the breasts, or the slight sway of the hips. Some will exploit the female form, understanding it's irresistible pull, but the majority respect the curve.

We found two women who respectfully show off the sexier side of the curve with tastefully, tantalizing pin up photography. Pin up photography can range from the classic Marilyn Monroe types of pictures you are use to seeing, to somewhat more risky photos. Landing softly in the middle is the True Curves Calendar produced by the two woman team comprised of Meiliee and Sommer Green.

In 2007 Meilee teamed up with Sommer Green of SommeLovely Productions (pictured above from left to right), and together they created "True Curves"™ Pin Up Edition 2009 calendar. The beauty of the calendar is that it showcases the curves of full figured models, actors and every day women. The calendar challenges the stereotypes by representing women in an array of sizes. "Our mission is to set examples to women around the world that “beauty” is from within and should not be judged by height, weight, size, style of dress and enhancements to feel accepted and to embrace their natural beauty".

Gemini Magazine is keeping a close eye on these ladies, and the True Curves Pin Up Edition Calendar. We will be sharing the behind the scenes stories with you, and urging you to get involved. If you would like to find out more information, or order a calendar (I have one!) please visit www.myspace.com/truecurves, or email the ladies at truecurves@yahoo.com.
