Chloe joined us for a chat during the CoverGirl photoshoot last week to talk her lingerie loves and why she needs your vote in our annual CoverGirl competition to become the new face of the next issue of our Fullstop Magazine.
Hi Chloe, please tell us a little bit more about you.
My name is Chloe, I’m 25 years old and consider myself to be a self-made commodity in the making, and I’m working on that! I am size 32FF and am from New York, New York but based in London.
What would it mean for you, winning the CoverGirl competition?
It would mean a lot to me! It would be a chance to take the lingerie modeling to another level as I’m not too versed in the lingerie modeling area. I would be very excited for an opportunity like no other.
Why should people vote for you?
People should vote for me because I feel like, as a buyer, I would want to go onto the website and say “that’s what my body looks like, if it fits her, it fits me”. I hope to be someone people can identify with and that’s why people should vote for me, I’m them and they are me!
So why did you decide to enter the competition?
In all honesty, I was watching a documentary on models and had on a whim saw if I could go online and find something for me. Being from America, there aren’t many opportunities for straight sized women – it’s either plus size or very thin. So when I came across Brastop, I felt that the competition was perfect for me. I consider myself a curvy woman, am busty, and this was the motivation to enter. So I decided to submit myself!
Do you have any advice for anyone considering the competition?
Absolutely! I feel that straight sized women are under-represented as far as modeling goes, and curvy women – those with a bigger bust size – it’s a great confidence booster. If you never thought you could do it, as your body isn’t the traditional model shape, this competition offers the opportunity for us under-represented women. It’s life changing, so to speak.
How have you found the competition?
I’ve had a great time! It was my first lingerie shoot and everyone made the experience enjoyable. I had a great experience and would love to do it again.
Do you think it’s important to represent Brastop customers?
Absolutely! Being a women with a bigger bust, you want to find a happy medium. This is the epitome of a happy medium. I want to go online and find a customer that looks like me, it’s extremely important, we favour body types and this makes you comfortable as a buyer.
Are you comfortable with your size?
It took time. I got teased a lot as I was thin, but had a chest. I embrace myself every day and won’t change a thing about it. I’ve grown into it and like my shape more!
