Angel Alamo: How did you come up with the idea for your website?
Good Curvy: Well, I wanted to show the artistic side of curvy bodies… I had been seeing comments about curvy modes photos being raunchy and “not art” and I knew that was not true… I wanted to make a conscious effort to display curvy women in a positive light and make it accessible to everyone! Often photos of curvy women are down played and seen with no value, I wanted to make something that upheld the true value of curvy women.
AA: How long has your website been around?
GC: The website has been around for a little over two years.
AA: How long did it take for the photobook and collection to come together?
GC: This process took about one year. From conception to execution.
AA: Are BBW models becoming more accepted now than in the past?
GC: Absolutely! From mainstream models like Liris and Tess we are making way for women like Lizzo to be successful. It’s a process, but it is coming along.
AA: You have an art show in Atlanta on April 4, 2020 what can fans expect and will there be information soon as for prices of tickets for the art show?
GC: Expect to fall in love with the curvy body. It will be an artistic experience that you have not seen before. Imagine Met Gala meets Full Figured Fashion Week in one evening music and art. models… live performance exhibit… food… body positivity!!!
Tickets/pricing will be released in January.
AA: Any plans on bringing the art show to other cities?
GC: This is in the works for sure! Where should we go?!
AA: Are BBW models becoming more accepted now than in the past?
GC: Absolutely! From mainstream models like Liris and Tess we are making way for women like Lizzo to be successful. It’s a process, but it is coming along.
AA: What has been the most positive feedback you have gotten?
GC: Hearing someone say my journey influenced their journey to start following their dream!! That brought tears to my eyes… I want women to feel their value so that they can feel worthy enough to follow their dreams… that was confirmation to me that I’m heading in the right direction!
