We first met Lizzie Miller when she posed for the now famous picture in Glamour Magazine showing off her gorgeous curves for all to see. At size 16 (UK size) she is a well known plus size model.
Lizzie Miller features in the fantastic new site VOGUE Curvy [site: www.vogue.it] in the How To category where she has been interviewed by Barbara Frigerio. Lizzie Miller has been modeling since she was 13 years of age. However, after the famous picture in Glamour Magazine in 2009 she has been inundated with emails and phone calls from women congratulating her for posing for the photo and showing off a “real” body in a glossy magazine. Lizzie did the tour of talk shows and soon became the symbol of the “anti-airbrushed model”.
Lizzie Miller is a US size 12/14 and weighs 1801b at 5’11”. She says “I’m a normal woman and I hope that magazines will start putting women like me on their covers. If just one girl sees me and feels better about herself, that would already be a major victory.”
Lizzie Miller is originally from San Jose, California and now lives in New York. Her hobbies include belly dancing and softball. Her favourite food is sweets and pasta, and not to deny herself of something she wants. Her real hate is “All the pictures in magazines are so retouched, that’s why the women all look so perfect. It’s all smoke and mirrors!”
The feature in VOGUE Curvy includes a video interview by Valentina Tosi with a fantastic soundtrack showing Lizzie Miller trying on her clothes in her wardrobe. Here she admits to having size 11 feet and finding it difficult to find shoes that fit her. Lizzie comments that when she started plus size modeling a lot of the clothes were shapeless, something that has changed over the last couple of years. She talks about the curvy models such as Marilyn Monroe in the 50’s and how tastes changed when Twiggy became more desired in the 60’s setting the trend for skinnier models. However, in the 2010 there are not many women who are represented by skinny models.
The feature also shows stunning pictures of Lizzie.
Other models that have featured in the How To category of VOGUE Curvy include Lina K. and Sindy Gourlant.
I’m glad she’s becoming a regular feature. Who’d think such a small photo would make her so famous.
she looks stunning as a size 16 model. I think that as long as you’re toned, it doesn’t matter what size you are.
I would like to find out if anyone can give me info regarding modelling for woman of 50 years and older that have had a desire to do so but have not had the opportunity to. I would like to cater for woman that have been divorced or separted and that really need to boost their self esteem as there are still very many beautiful older woman out there. I would like to see if there is a market for something like that. Would you be able to assist me with some info or where i should start looking.
Kind Regards

I’m pleased for her.
