My name is Cassie. I’m 23, a model, a make-up enthusiast, a fashion lover and I’m fat. Fat and proud, as the saying goes. I have been following the body positive movement for a couple of years now and have never looked back. View Post

Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Stripes
I am a fat person. On an almost daily basis I am told (either in person, via social media or through mainstream media) that because of my size I am not acceptable to society. I’ve heard it all – well-meaning family members expressing their concern about my cholesterol, people telling me I’d be so pretty if I lost weight, having a stranger whisper “Weight Watchers” under her breath as she walked past me in a department store, and comments about whales when I’m at the beach.

Confident women wanted!
Hi ladies!
As you know, I’m working on an amazing photographic project at the moment that looks at fashion for plus sized women, and how society tries to police women’s bodies. The project sees beautiful plus size women challenging society’s “rules” about what women of a certain size should/shouldn’t wear. You can read more about it here.
In addition to that project, I’m also wanting to photograph a group of women in reference to Annie Leibovitz’s images for Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty.
Please note that this shoot will require you to be photographed in a group setting in your underwear and possibly nude (if you’re not comfortable being photographed nude that’s fine, please just let me know when you get in touch with me!). If you’re not comfortable showing your lady bits on camera, that’s okay – I will pose you so that your modesty is maintained.
Just so you know, I believe in leading by example. I’m going to be in the photos with you – scars, piercings, cellulite and all. Come and celebrate your body with me!
I will be exhibiting one of the images as part of my Graduation Show in November – I will let you know more about the exhibition closer to the time.
I’m looking for ladies who are:
- Aged 18-35
- Wear size 16+ clothing
- Confident with their bodies
- Happy to be photographed in their underwear and nude
- Available on Sunday 27th October 2013 from 1pm – 3pm, and able to make it to my studio in Pt Chevalier, Auckland.
If you fit the above requirements, please get touch with me. If you don’t but think you know someone who might be interested, please share this post with them! If you think you might be interested, but you have questions about the project or are concerned how the images will be used, please contact me via the form below.

Wanted: Stylish Plus Size Women!
Have you ever been told that you shouldn’t wear something because of your body size or shape? I know I have, on more than one occasion! Horizontal stripes, bikinis, heels and tight clothing, just to name a few.
I am a Design and Visual Arts graduate from Unitec, and for my final year project I began photographing women who ignore the “fashion rules” and wear what they want. View Post
