I was so excited when Madeline from Plus Model Mag contacted me about an interview!

Please check it out in their January ’10 issue here.

Mia Amber, plus size model and creative editor at large of PlusModelMag.com, was on Fox News recently to talk about Christian Louboutin’s comment that Barbie has “cankles”.  She also talks about all of the recent controversy in the size of models today from Ralph Lauren’s photoshopping to the size of plus size models.  Interestingly, Mia says that at a size 18 she is too big for some plus size fashion companies.  I just have to ask, have they not seen her?  She is one of the most vivacious beautiful models out there!

Check out the news coverage and then the panel discussion with Mia below!
