You’re welcome ma’dear!
I’m sitting here editing the images from the “photoshoot” I did today and this picture popped up. Most people might skim over this photo and deem it unusable because my back fat is extremely visible, as is my large belly. However, looking at this picture reminds me of just how far I’ve come along. I’m no longer that insecure teenager who wouldn’t dare to wear a dress in fear of my body being too visible. I’m no longer that terrified young girl that was too scared to stand up for herself because she never felt worth while. I’m proud of who I’ve become, the people I’m blessed to know and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found the wonderful FA community.
can not wait for the collection…u are doing us big girls so proud #greatness
Give me one more week! I know it’s already MAY and you’re all growing impatient!
For now… Here’s a pic of me at the shoot which took place on friday morning… despite all my qualms about being a model for my own designs… I took to it like a duck to water… or so I like to think… Nobody can outshine the fabulous Toya but I tried my best to look just as fierce :)
I’m wearing:
Bondage Swim Briefs (in black only)
&
Pink Cover-Up
What a beauty…I’ll drink to that!
