Just a quick heads up about my Plus-size Pin-up modeling eBook.
It is almost complete. Release Date Sunday 12th July.
Anyway here’s what the eBook covers and it is mostly geared towards wannabe Plus Size Pin-up models. I don’t cover the web model end in detail because it’s not a field I work in although web models may be interested in some of the promotional concepts I talk about plus the cross over between Pin-up modeling and mainstream professional work. It can be done and it is being done as I type. No longer do you have to feel just because you’ve done web modeling you can’t go mainstream. In fact mainstream embrace openness more than you know.
I see a lot of girls promoting themselves the right way and a lot just not getting PR at all. I’m not claiming to a be a Guru here but my way has worked for me and I also let you know what things have not worked for me.

The eBook will include brand new pictures not seen before of me which hopefully will inspire you. It’s definitely geared towards raising the bar in plus-size modeling and I’m really aiming at that niche of ladies who are not tall enough or the right size/shape for so called ‘mainstream’ plus-size fashion modeling. Let me tell you something; there is space for everyone in this industry and mainstream are slowly picking up on the fact that you can sell a lot to people just by being the size you are. I know I’ll never work for a plus-size agency who limits their size intake at 14. They will be the ones left behind unfortunately because they just aren’t seeing the future of branding and acceptability.
So this eBook will hopefully prepare your A game for when more oportunities crop up in the future.
You can start off as a plus-size pin-up (no nudity or some glamour) and move into other areas of entertainment as I have done. Or you can just use it as a fun creative hobby. The choice is yours.
This eBook is just letting you know what’s worked and what hasn’t for me. Other models may have different takes on their own experiences.
The eBook costs a whole $1 (One dollar only) The average cost of a can of Cola. The irony is not lost on me at all.
Everyone can afford $1 was my logic.
I’m also selling links as well; for $1 each. So if , for example, you have three links you’d like to add to my ebook that’s $3. Ad link buyers/ sponsors get the eBook for free for their own personal use. I.E They cannot distribute it.
I expect teenagers to buy this book as well as adults, therefore I cannot direct link to anyone with adult content. I can link to things like your myspace or Youtube which does require some sort of ‘clean’ content.
Remember this eBook will be floating around an awful long time on the net so make sure your $1 works for you by having great inspirational content for people to see.

About Vanessa Reece

You've reached the website of Vanessa Reece. Lucky You!
I'm best known for being a voluptuous model. Other creative pursuits include acting, reporting, life-blogging plus much more. I've also worked in business and healthcare.
It's hard to know what to say about yourself without coming across as some narcissistic
moron. That said; you need some degree of ego to rise above and reach your dreams. I like to balance life by go-getting and get-giving. I am always humbled by the love and support I receive online and in person. I support my friends projects too so you will often find me talking about them here.
I love travelling and find I seem to gravitate to California quite a bit.
I return to entertainment in the summer!
I am a single mother to an amazing young man who I can only describe as my true saviour in this life. An amazing gift from God.
Thank you for visiting!
Good Karmaz and enjoy your time here.
