I love blogging about Curvy Models that are an inspiration from all over the world specially if they are Latina..and Maria Jimenez Pacifico from Colombia is just that, she is taking the Plus Size Modeling world by storm in Europe, a place she moved to because in Columbia Curvy Models are not recognized.
Jimenez is a fresh new face in the crowd adding flavor and life to plus-sized modeling. Maria has a glowing smile, positive attitude and upbeat Latin personality that is nothing short of refreshing. More than just a pretty face, Maria’s passion is to inspire others to realize their beauty and potential comes from within.
This beautiful Curvy Model moved to Reykjavik, Islandia 10 years ago studying acting and was discovered by a photographer who offered to help her out with her portfolio, she took it to an Agency named Eskimo Models and three days later she got her first big break getting her a spread in a Top Fashion Magazine in Islandia, she has been working ever since.
In 2012 she was the Image of the renowed Designer Sigrún Lilja opening many doors for her. One of her proudest moments was walking the catwalk in Copenhagen Fashion Week for Carmakoma. She told me “I accept and Love my Body the way it is, my mind is free of stereotypes so I feel free and great the way I am.
Just Love Yourself..The heart and mind is far more important than being a size 0!” Indeed this is one Curvy Model to look out for.
Marta Rivera is a blogger from Puerto Rico, she is an English professor and a Plus Size advocate on the Island, an Island that is mainly for thin models, but she is trying her best to change that. Marta will be blogging for Curvy Girl on a Budget letting us know everything that is happening in the Plus Size community from fashion to events in Puerto Rico.
